I'm trying to install MU as a subdomain of a site: http://artists.etsyglass.com and I'm running into problems. I can't change the directory to 777. Here's what my host says:
---
Jason: you can keep the permission at most 755
Jason: and not 777
Jason: because we have implemented PHPSuexec on server
Jason: so anything having 777 will give the internal server error
---
When I run the install it says that it can't find the .htaccess file and then I get this error "No WPMU site defined on this host."
I know that I can't use htaccess files either (I have to put the info in a php.ini file), so I'm wondering if this might also be part of the problem.
Will I be able to install MU at all or am I going to have to find a new host?
