I created a Wordpress Site on MAMP and uploaded the wordpress folder and sql database.

All the pages work fine at dreamgrowers.net, but when I try to login at /wp-admin, it seems to add a directory /dreamgrowers (I think) and won't let me login.

I looked at the htaccess file and that seems correct. I made sure the options (using phpmyadmin) for site URL are http://dreamgrowers.net

The login page looks like this: http://dreamgrowers.net/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdreamgrowers.net%2Fdreamgrowers%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

I'm not sure where else to check for login issues.

Your help is appreciated!

This appears to be a MAMP issue, not a WordPress issue. My guess is that you've not setup your localhost config correctly for the dreamgrowers.net domain name. – Chip Bennett Feb 16 '12 at 15:03
I'm not using MAMP anymore - that's just where I developed it so I thought it might be related. It's hosted online now and everything works, but the login. – DreamGrowers Feb 17 '12 at 1:22

It looks like your WordPress directory is wrong and it's adding on a folder on the end 'dreamgrowers' update your site and home url and see if it solves the problem.

Thanks Alex. Since I cannot login, I can only change site url in phpmyadmin. How do I change the other? – DreamGrowers Feb 17 '12 at 1:23
Take a look: codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL you can do it by adding 2 lines to your wp-config.php file – Alex Older Feb 17 '12 at 8:46
Okay, both lines are changed, but I am still having the login issue. Here's one thing that might help though...when I reset my password, it takes me to /wp-login.php and allows me to login once. So...I can login, but still there is some setting that alters the wp-admin login url that prevents me from logging in normally. – DreamGrowers Feb 19 '12 at 1:26
When you login once can you get to the Settings panel? What does the Blog/Site URL say? – Alex Older Feb 19 '12 at 11:14
It says dreamgrowers.net on both. But yeah, every time I login, even with the password I know is correct, it loops me through a weird url that seems to be preventing proper login. Site works fine otherwise. – DreamGrowers Feb 20 '12 at 20:21
