WordPress MU

How to install WPMU on 10.3.9 for subdirectory working

1. Download wpmu. Rename it to something.dev. Then move it /Library/WebServer/Documents.

2. Open NetInfo Manager

3. Click on machines > localhost. Then highlight localhost and click duplicate. Rename localhost to something.dev. The (.dev) could be anything.

4. Then click on something else. A save box will pop-up. Click save.

5. Go to System Preferences > Sharing.

6. Restart Personal Web Sharing.

7. Go into the terminal and jump into God mode (sudo).

8. Type to /private/etc/httpd. Create a folder for backups (mkdir bak). Copy httpd.conf into /bak (cp httpd.conf bak)

8. Emac or vi your way into httpd.conf

9. Uncomment these lines:
- LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/httpd/mod_rewrite.so
- AddModule mod_rewrite.c
- LoadModule vhost_alias_module libexec/httpd/mod_vhost_alias.so
- AddModule mod_vhost_alias.c

10. Add this somewhere:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/wpmu.dev
ServerName wpmu.dev
</VirtualHost>

11. Add this somewhere:

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/wpmu.dev">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
Allow for all
</Directory>

12. Restart Personal Web Sharing again, just in case.

Make sure your unix stuff is current. If you are too lazy to do it yourself, then:

Yea, this info up top was kind of answered on other forums, then again not really.

Thanks for posting! I may be able to test this at some stage!

Nice summary, and good to see other people running MU on their OsX machines as well. :)

step 11 is WRONG....
in line 4 must be FROM instead of for...

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/wpmu.dev">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
Allow from all
</Directory>

do you know if this is possible on Mac OS X 10.2.8?
