I do the initial install, and it COPIES the sample config without making and of the changes designated in the index.php. The directory is wide open. I modify it, and it says 'No WPMU site defined on this host. If you are the owner of this site, please check Debugging WPMU for further assistance.'.
I delete the wp-config it COPIED, and try again. Same thing.
Advise please.
Furthermore, database tables are not created, and I get the BASE error.
It essentially just does the COPY of the config from the sample. Doesn't even save my database settings.
Sounds like a permissions issue. What permissions do you have set on the folder and who owns it?
And yeah, if your config file doesn't get created, not much is going to happen to your database.
Yeah, figured that. apache user and group owns everything, and perms are 775. The sample config is copied and perms become 644, don't think that should be a problem though.
I recompiled php, was running 4.3.2 on that box, but nothing has changed. Thought maybe it was one of those silly 4.3.# issues with mysql calls.

The main install directory has to be 777 during install.
wp-content should be left as 777 as well, so users can have uploads, etc.
Pretty sure thats in the install readme somewhere.
Yes. I tried this to no avail.
wp-content should be handled by the ownership of the files, which is the web server user.
I read the readme, and was somewhat startled at the 777 suggestion ;)
I'm not a novice, I'm just looking for input before I drill into it.
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 1182 May 23 08:35 wp-config.php
-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 1182 Mar 9 10:17 wp-config-sample.php
This is what it does.
[root@dev blogs]# diff wp-config.php wp-config-sample.php
[root@dev blogs]#
Identical.
The str_replaces are failing, even if I throw the posted variables directly into the index-install code. Maybe a compat issue?
Or- the case(s)?
I just made the changes in the sample config and it seems to be fine.
