Resetting database name and user (3 posts)

    This is my first installation of WordPress MU although I do have some experience with standard WordPress.

    I uploaded all of the MU files into wpmu folder on my route and I began filling out the forms with the database name and user etc.

    I think I must've made a mistake in typing in names and/or passwords. I'm getting a 500 internal error. How can I start from scratch?

    Delete the wp-config.php file and the .htaccess, and you can start again.

    If you are getting a 500 error, it may be something else. Make sure the htaccess is deleted and check the rest of the installation instructions.

    Typically the wrong database details causes a Database error message rather than a 500 server error.
