Solving separable differential equations via partial fractions: d y d x = y ( y 1 )
I got
d y y ( y 1 ) = d x ln | y 1 | ln | y | = x + c
ln | y 1 y | = x + c
1 1 y = C e x
y = 1 1 C e x

You have not made any mistake. Let's start from Wolfram's solution:
y ( x ) = 1 e c 1 + x + 1 = 1 e c 1 e x + 1
Here's the important part: Note that c 1 is an arbitrary constant, so we can let C := e c 1 to obtain your solution.

y = 1 1 C e x ,
then
y = C e x ( 1 C e x ) 2
and
y ( y 1 ) = 1 1 C e x 1 1 + C e x 1 C e x .
You made no mistake.
