WordPress MU

I can get all the way through registering my username and then registering the blog name. When you hit submit, you get a blank page... Nada.

Any pointers in the right direction?

it's over at monticellolive.com/blogs

Something's serious wrong with your setup. Following that link, it redirects to the signup page for monticellolive.

It looks like you installed WPMu in http://blogs.monticellolive.com/blogs/

Hmmm. I have no idea what's going on. I had the hosting company create the shortcut that WP said would allow subdomains...

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Um, what shortcut for allowing subdomains? There's no shortcut. It's modifications in Apache and Bind.

Yes, I've done that (Apache mod) - or rather tech support did it for me.

Here's what's happening. When you go to blogs.monticellolive.com, you get the login page/register for a new account.

When you sign up for a new account, it tells you that your new account is going to be blogname.blogs.monticello.live/blogs.

I want it to simply be blogname.monticellolive.com.

/blogs is where I have MU installed on the server.

Where can I go to edit this info or change it?

Apache mod

Whatever they did, it wasn't what's in the directions.

For you to do blogname.monticellolive.com, you need to put WPMu into monticellolive.com, not monticellolive.com/blogs.

The only thing you can do with an install in monticellolive.com/blogs is monticellolive.com/blogs/username

Aah. Would you suggest a fresh install then, or can I adapt it?

Do I need to tell them to delete the wildcard DNS?

You need the wildcard in DNS and Apache. I would do a new install and get rid of whatever redirect they put in for you.

Ah. Shoot. I have the monticellolive.com blog running in the root of that site, so I can't install MU there. So... there's no way to accomplish the other?

Having blogname.monticellolive.com?

Yopu said in another thread there's a regular WP blgo in the root. MU sets up a main blog in the root. import your WP blog into that. Would save a lot of headaches.
