Add New Bloggs - do I need to put in files too? (3 posts)

    I have installed WP MU fine :-)

    But I am unclear about the urls for new user blogs

    If my install location is http://www.edsite.co.uk/ed_blogg/
    ...and I create blog called 'elricwilliams'...
    ...and the Admin CP tells me the url is http://www.edsite.co.uk/ed_blogg/elricwilliams/
    ...I go to that url and I get an error because there are no files installed there ? !

    What am I missing?

    Thank you

    No, you don't need to add files. WPMU works on rewrite rules. It grabs the info from the db and "creates" the blog on the fly.

    A way to check to see what you need is to look at the post link on the main blog - they don't work either. This means the .htaccess file is missing, or the server is not reading it.

    So, it's all very dependant on the .htaccess rewrite rules ?

    We're on our inhouse OS X Server 10.4.11 ... guess we'll have to find and answer to that.. :-(

    Anyone know how to activate .htaccess properly on OS X Server 10.4.11 ?

    Thank you,
