WordPress MU

I've followed the instructions and I'm still getting:
No WPMU site defined on this host.

I've looked through the forum and can't figure it out.

It's 4 easy steps. How did I go wrong?

Yes, I did restart apache.

1. LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

Already there.

2. "AllowOverride FileInfo Options"

There was <Directory "/var/www/html">. I tried it here.

I also tried adding: <Directory "/home/user/public_html">.

I also tried adding: <Directory "/home/user/public_html/subdirectory/blog">.

Which is right?

3. "ServerAlias *.domain.tld"
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAlias *.domain.com
</VirtualHost>

These were commented out in httpd.conf. I tried uncommenting these. But I'm not using subdomains, so do I even need this?

In wp-config.php:
define('VHOST', 'false');

$base = '/subdirectory/blog/'; the full path would be http://www.domain.com/subdirectory/blog/ or /home/user/public_html/subdirectory/blog/

Please, help! I can't figure out where I've gone wrong.

Sooo... if you don't do anything but plunk the WPMU files where you want them, what shows up? Should be the install screen.

make sure you have an empty database, NO .htaccess file and NO wp-config.php.

Thank you.

I can't believe I wasted that time.

Wordpress should tell you that right off when they give the info link.

I'm pretty sure it tells you somewhere not to edit wp-config.

It's noted in the actual wp-config.php file but not in the readme file.

edit: Well it was: http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/835

@mmwaldman

I wasted a lot of time on the same thing too! lol

I guess I had done many things wrong when trying to install Wordpress MU, but the last one was that I had edited the wp-config-sample.php and put in the database info so that it was wp-config.php - I guess that's how I did it in the old days.

I can't believe how easy it is now that I simply took out the wp-config.php file and just left in the wp-config-sample.php file.

If I did not see this post I would still be looking forever on this. I guess sometimes it's better if you do not get to confident with Wordpress. Thanks for the info.
