Can't Finish Installation | Fatal Error (4 posts)

    No matter what I do, I can't seem to finish the installation.

    I downloaded the current version from the download page. It said the current version is 2.9.2.

    I installed WPMU on this testing subdomain: http://wpmu.joshwayne.com/

    I followed the installation instructions and created a database and a user that has full access privileges to that database. I put that information in the wp-config.php.

    There were no documentation either in the README or on the site but I needed to make further changes to the wp-config.php.

    Here is what else I changed:

    define('DB_COLLATE', '');
    define('VHOST', 'no');
    $base = '/';
    define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'wpmu.joshwayne.com' );
    define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
    define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
    define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1' );

    What am I doing wrong?

    Nevermind, I was going through the normal WP installation. I deleted the wp-config.php and went through the web interface install.

    ". I put that information in the wp-config.php."

    Then you didn't follow the directions, which are also at the top of said wp-config.php. All that text surrounded by these things: *******

    Do not edit that file. It is not the same as installing single WP, and MU will build the config file itself.

    Delete wp-config.php.
    Now, visit your site in a browser. Follow the directions there.
