WordPress MU

I have a domain I normally use as my portfolio, ivatanackovic.info and it was working well with a single-user WordPress until I decided to test WP 3.0 alpha (which is basically WPMU and that's why I'm asking for help here - knowing that the community is smaller and that I'll get help faster <3) on a subdomain. So, I installed it on blog.ivatanackovic.info, added BuddyPress and created a couple of sub-blogs, solely for the testing purpose (by the way, sub-blogs cannot be accessed at all, might have something to do with the rest?)

Ever since I've done so, my root domain and/or my www subdomain don't work at all, they just don't show anything. I had no idea what was wrong until I realised that my main domain is probably being treated as a part of the multi-site installation, even though that one's on a subdomain.

I came accross this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Ignore_Some_Subdomains

...and I tried to exclude the www domain from it (thinking about forcing www for my portfolio if there's no other solution while I'm testing this, obviously), but nothing changed. Also, I wasn't sure if I should've put that in the root's .htaccess or the blog sbudomain's .htaccess.

In case it's not clear - the root installation is still using WordPress 2.9.2., single user, it's only the subdomain that's using WPMU/WP 3.0 alpha.

Does anyone have any tips for this? Thank you very much in advance!

well, what kind of user blogs did you pick? Subdomains or subfolders? If subdomains did you do the wildcard subdomain setup in Apache?

I picked subfolders of a subdomain. I don't know why is that disturbing the root domain or the www. subdomain.

Can you give a link?

Also. 3.0 is still very much in alpha stage.

The domain itself is http://www.ivatanackovic.info or http://ivatanackovic.info ...that's where I have WordPress 2.9.1 that stopped working when I installed 3.0 alpha on http://blog.ivatanackovic.info and its sub/blogs(which act a bit jaggedy as well) such as http://blog.ivatanackovic.info/subsite/ were just made with the multi-blog functionality.

This is what I have in the subdomain's .htaccess, I assumed it'd at least let the www subdomain show the other install.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} http://www.ivatanackovic.info
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !sub/
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I would basically do anything to be able to continue testing without making my portfolio (the root/www) unavailable.

Thanks for being helpful. :)

I have decided to uninstall all this and let the main domain be, and instead of that I got a random domain name for testing purposes and will try subdomains instead. But Andrea, thank you so much for wanting to help me out (and as far as I can remember, it was not the first time, either). :)

I think the htaccess for the subdomain Network install is still showing the single WP one.

but, you got a new domain, so that'll do it. :P
