The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Looks screwed up after install (6 posts)

    First I tried installing MU with subdomains enabled. i figured out that my godaddy host doesn't use the wildcard, so I tried installing it into a subdirectory /blogs/

    After that process, it looks like the CSS isnt working or something. Like its not formatted. I thought it was my FTP corrupting the files. I uploaded and installed several times, and it turned out the same way. I uploaded the zip file and extracted it on the server to see if that would stop any data corruption. Same result. When I try logging in, to the pages, even though they look weird, it goes to the wrong address: http:/com/myfiles...something. I can't remember. It wasn't right.

    I already have a wordpress install on the main directory, but I dont think that could be screwing it up.

    Need a link please. Can't help you unless we see what you're looking at.

    Have you checked the paths of where WPMu thinks the css files are? Take a look at the outputted html code and see if the path to the CSS works.

    http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/wiki/DebuggingWpmu as well.

    Hope this helps,

    I opened up your site, had a look at the source code and found out the link to your css looks like this:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://com.ec/somosasamblea/wp-content/themes/home/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    while it should be:
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://somosasamblea.com.ec/wp-content/themes/home/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    stealthgear says he tried it both ways, so maybe he did not delete / empty the database between those two installs? that might be the reason why wpmu is looking for this stylesheet like it would in a subdirectory install but generates the blog like it would in a subdomain install...
    so my guess would be that you have a mix of subfolder / subdomain install...

    That's the reverse domain issue upon install.

    Open up the database with phpMyAdmin and correct the URLs within wp_site and wp_blogs.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks.

    I solve the problem follow these steps:

    1.- Correct the URL's on these tables in the database:
    - wp_site
    - wp_blogs
    - wp_user
    - wp_1_options
    2.- Go to the admin control panel of WordPressMU and change all the bads URL's in the blog tab.

    Is not necesary to edit any code in the .php files
