    Don't edit the config file by hand. Delete it and run the install again.
    Also delete .htacess

    Andrea_r, you tell me: "Don't edit the config file by hand", but I must write in config file the name e pass of database ecc. How I do?
    Grazie.

    No, you don't. Please follow the instructions in the readme file. The setup script writes the file.

    Ok, before I have deleted and after I have follow the instructions in the readme file (I have no write config.php). But when I try I again read:
    "Problem in wp-config.php - $base is set to BASE when it should be the path like "/" or "/blogs/"! Please fix it!".

    I have no write config.php

    Just to clarify, you should not have any wp-config.php file before installing. If you have one, please delete it.

    You have set the directory that your mu files sit in (ie public_html, www, or whatever your webroot is) to be writable by the webserver, right? You also have to set your wp-content to the same.

    Also delete anything in your .htaccess file and set that as writable as well.

    I use wp 2.7.1 first so I have a problem, the solution: do not change anything, after the zip extract it directly to your domain. I've tried in http://www.blogaul.com

    What setup script? I've uploaded the files via FTP and when I try to then setup mu, I get this error message: "There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started."

    Any suggestions?

    Brilliant - per andrea_r on a different thread, found this:

    "...there's core WP code in there that travels up one directory.

    usually people with this setup have a different issue with it actually reading the root config file. You could try disabling that long enough to get it installed."

    So I had WP installed on the same server, just a different folder. Disabled the wp-config.php file in that other folder and was then able to run the browser install program!

    Thanks andrea_r!
