Watch out for the wp_sitecategories table!</p> <p>Best to use Ron's <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-export-for-wp-wpmu/">Advanced Export plugin</a> and re-import in the Wordpress admin area. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15197#post-89048 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:40:08 +0000 justinkomhyr 89048@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>The db connection for mu should be setup the same way that you setup your original wp scripts. Definately double check your user and password when you setup the db. Also, make sure to give the user full permissions to the db.</p> <p>Also, if an install has failed then it has already created the wrong config file. I suggest deleting the config.php file and starting install over. If that doesn't work try deleting all files, uploading again and starting install over.</p> <p>As far as subdomains for wordpress mu the main mu domain needs to accept wilcard enries. This means that anywordher.maindomain.com would work if setup as a blog.</p> <p>I don't think go daddy give you access to httpd.conf files an the ability to edit the dns whichis necessary. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13949#post-89046 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:31:26 +0000 justinkomhyr 89046@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>I don't think that you can get subdomain to work for mu on goaddy servers. WPMU uses virtual subdomains so you need to set up domain aliases. </p> <p>Does godaddy servers let you edit dms entriesand the apache httpd.conf file? </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13949#post-88898 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:17:08 +0000 Katastimata 88898@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Probably a very good point was made here:</p> <p>I then decided to try installing it in the <strong>root</strong> of my hosting account on the primary domain. </p> <p>That is the only thing that I haven't done (and for various reasons I can't do).

I'm guessing MU never detected these terms, which is why our wp_sitecategories table is out of whack!</p> <p>---</p> <p>Then I read this thread:<br /> <a href="http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/4102" rel="nofollow">http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/4102</a></p> <p>Which had a similar problem to ours. He basically exported his posts in the Wordpress admin area, purged his current posts and reimported them, which correctly repopulated his wp_sitecategories table.</p> <p>I'm about to do the same, but was wondering if there was a better way for MU to detect the missing terms? </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15553#post-88872 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:59:46 +0000 andrea_r 88872@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>I would be more inclined to just recreate those tables within the database, not drop them all.</p> <p>you could, in theory, just drop the wp_1_whatever tables and not affect the rest of the install, but it's only the tags &amp; categories affected.</p> <p>you can backup just those tables:<br /> wp_1_terms<br /> wp_1_term_taxonomies<br /> wp_1_term_relationships</p> <p>Then drop 'em. </p> <p>A nifty feature in phpmyadmin is the ability to copy tables as well, so make a test blog that's empty, then go in phpmyadmin and select the first terms table there, and under the Operations tab, tell it to copy it. It will ask for the table name of the new copy and just make it have _1_ in there.</p> <p>Standard disclaimers apply: I have no idea if this will work, but it may help clean something up. You'd have to recreate your tags &amp; categories. You may only need to do the term_taxonomy table. PLEASE backup the entire db before you do anything else, just in case you click the delete all button by accident.</p> <p>It's definitely a puzzling issue though. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15553#post-88864 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:05:59 +0000 r-a-y 88864@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>I've had an issue with term_id's and taxonomies for a while now.</p> <p>To read about my problem, see here:<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333023" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333023</a></p> <p>MichaelH over on the Wordpress forums suggested I drop the tables and reinstall the blog.</p> <p>The caveat is this problem only occurs on one of the blogs, which would be the root blog.</p> <p>How do I go about recreating these tables without reinstalling the rest of the blogs on my MU install?</p> <p>Is this even possible?

If it;s a shared host, you may have issues.</p> <p>Yes, you can install it in a subdomain, but I gotta ask:</p> <p>"I have a completely different site that is a subdomain that I want the MU installed in"</p> <p>then why not install it there?</p> <p>Whether or not the other sites on your webhost have WP or anything else is a non-issue. MU looks after its own blogs. most of the time.</p> <p>If you DO wind up having issues, pony up the extra $10/month for a seperate hosting account for it. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15369#post-88132 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:20:02 +0000 dlc1980 88132@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>more notes: my primary domain is not the site that I want the MU in, I have a completely different site that is a subdomain that I want the MU installed in, is this possible or do I have to have MU on the primary domain associated with my hosting? What if I will have other website's that are totally different and will have nothing to do with the MU in this same hosting account?<br /> Does MU require a dedicated hosting account for it and everything in it will be associated with MU or can all the other different websites have other thins besides MU, like regular wp?<br /> thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15369#post-88131 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:12:55 +0000 dlc1980 88131@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi guys,</p> <p>I have my hosting set up under a specific primary domain, and have all sorts of other sites set up under it as subdomains.

The short version is you have to export all your current WP stuff (and backup), then wipe it clean,. install MU then import.</p> <p>Or, wait till the code merge. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15255#post-87691 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:44:25 +0000 jephperro 87691@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>The idea behind MU is that you can run multiple sites and blogs. It that what you are planning to do? </p> <p>I think it would make sense if you wanted to have many people or many blogs running off of your mamaista.com site.</p> <p>Imagine all your friends have a blog on your site:<br /> <a href="http://www.mamaista.com/FredsBlog" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamaista.com/FredsBlog</a><br /> <a href="http://www.mamaista.com/JillsBlog" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamaista.com/JillsBlog</a><br /> <a href="http://www.mamaista.com/Helen" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamaista.com/Helen</a><br /> <a href="http://www.mamaista.com/Peter" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamaista.com/Peter</a><br /> ...</p> <p>Or you could use subdomains for each of the blogs.<br /> Helen.mamaista.com<br /> Peter.mamaista.com<br /> photos.mamaista.com<br /> tambourines.mamaista.com</p> <p>All of the blogs could look different. All of the blogs could have different authors. The only thing that needs to tie them together is your base domain: mamaista.com</p> <p>But if you just want to have one site, with a single blog then you don't need MU. If you are thinking you want to use Wordpress' CMS capabilities to administer your site, then just use regular Wordpress ( <a href="http://wordpress.org/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/</a> ) not MU.</p> <p>Then you can have all your pages running on <a href="http://www.mamaista.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamaista.com</a>, controlled by Wordpress' CMS. One of those pages could list all your blog posts: <a href="http://www.mamaista.com/blog" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamaista.com/blog</a>.</p> <p>Unless you have a reason, you don't need Wordpress MU. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15255#post-87685 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:18:56 +0000 artur@design2dev.com 87685@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>hi,</p> <p>im completely NEW to MU.<br /> I have an existing WP site: <a href="http://www.mamaista.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamaista.com</a><br /> and i want to create a new blog : <a href="http://www.mamaista.com/blog" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamaista.com/blog</a></p> <p>can i safely install MU to:</p> <p>-power the EXISTING site<br /> -and create the new /blog</p> <p>what should i be careful about?<br /> thanks!</p> <p>artur </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13444#post-87618 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:50:51 +0000 ideas4islam 87618@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>i did the same but tel now i cant find the admin bar :(</p> <blockquote> <p>Set your current new user to be the Site admin user.</p> <p>You will need access to the database, look in wp_sitemeta for a line with a meta_key of site_admins.
