can't install - dumps me to wp-login screen (might be ongoing issue with WP)

[Douglas]

Hello,

First off, I'm VERY happy to see this plugin. I have been blogging on
LJ for quite some time and am attempting to move over to my long-
neglected WP blog. Once the plugin works for me, I'm sure that I will
have several feature requests/suggestions to help me ease over my
content and friends to 100% WP.

Anyway to my problem/question. I uploaded the plugin, activated it,
and went to go set the options. It asked me to click on the link to
install the plugin. I clicked the link and was dumped out to the wp-
login.php screen. Repeatedly doing this has the same effect.

This is most likely an issue resulting from something that is wrong
within the Wordpress core. I run my WP install from
http://myuniversitysdomain.edu/~myusername/. That tilde character has
been giving me and others problems since about WP version 2.5. It's
slated to be addressed/fixed in 2.7 (although it was pushed back from
2.5.1 and 2.6 to 2.7). A few other areas of my admin control panel
have the same result (going to the wp-login screen). Searching
through the Wordpress Support forums, other people experience the same
problem.

With the knowledge that this *should* be fixed in the core with the
November release, is there an easy way that I can bypass or manually
do the installation procedure?

couple days to look into it.

Douglas, would you mind putting phpinfo.php file into the same
directory as your blog? this will help to troubleshoot.

phpinfo.php contents

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

thanks!

Any thoughts on what might be going on? If you'd like to see the
problem in action, send me an email or catch me on google chat and i
can see about setting up a test account for you.

I ended up moving hosts (due to unrelated reasons). Plugin works
great now!
