 * I keep getting the follow error every time I try to access my admin panel and
   I have no idea where to begin with troubleshooting it (I am a newbie). The site
   is being hosted on a cpanel account on one of my rehosting accounts.
 * Request Entity Too Large
    The requested resource /~bmlg/wp-login.php does not
   allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request
   exceeds the capacity limit.
 * Any help would be much appreciated.

 * Had everything been working fine previously?
 * Were any new plugins installed? Or did you update anything?

 * I’m getting this same error and not sure how to fix it. I’m thinking it has something
   to do with an installation of cforms but it could also be an additional conflict
   with something else…

 * Hi
    A friend is also getting this error while trying to upload a small file into
   the blog. It was working a few days ago… probably some server admin broke something,
   but if someone has any idea how can we do to fix it, we’d be gad to hear 🙂

 * I have this problem now, on just 2 of my 5 blogs. It is very strange.
 * The problem is a “redirect” that is appended to the URL. In the old days of WP,
   when I type mysite.com/wp-admin, it will take me to that same URL with nothing
   else, just mysite.com/wp-admin. However NOW on my 2 broken sites, when I type
   mysite.com/wp-admin, it suddenly redirects to this:
    `http://mysite.com/wordpress/
   wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2F`
 * I will tell you that the simple workaround is: delete all the crap from the end
   of the URL. Go directly to [http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php](http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php)
   and it should let you log in then.
 * One of the blogs that has this problem is a fresh install! It has no posts, no
   plugins. WP 2.6.2
 * The exact error message is,
    _ Request Entity Too Large The requested resource/
   mysite/wp-login.php does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount
   of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
 * Any ideas how to get rid of this problem?

 * I just received this same message when trying to change the wordpress address(
   url) of my site. I am moving from one subdomain on bluehost to another subdomain
   on another bluehost hosted website. Has anyone been able to solve this?
