 * When I try and install WordPress on my development server (Ubuntu 11.04, PHP 
   5.3.5-1ubuntu7.3) I am initially enable to install without problems and the database
   is populated. Once the install is completed however I get a bug whereby visiting
   subdomain.site.co.uk (where wordpress is installed) redirects me to a URL which
   looks like this:
 * [http://subdomain.site.co.ukhttp/subdomain.site.co.uk/](http://subdomain.site.co.ukhttp/subdomain.site.co.uk/)
 * which is not a valid path and so gives a page not found error.
 * Initially I thought this might be a mod_rewrite problem but it seems to occur
   with the module both enabled and disabled.
 * Any suggestions much appreciated as I’m completely stumped on this one!

 * Hi TalkingQuickly,
 * For this installation on your development server, what do you have for the WordPress
   address (URL) and Site address (URL)? Also, if the main domain is hosted on another
   server, did you point the subdomain to the development server in your site’s 
   DNS records?
 * Hope this helps!

 * What do you want your address to be and what is the current address?
 * I assume you want something like: [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)
   and at the moment you have [http://www.example.com/something?](http://www.example.com/something?)
   Is this the case?
 * If so, I have the solution!
