Ok I uploaded MU and got it running etc but I choose subdomains. Well apparently my host can't do the wildcard so I have to use subdirs.
So I deleted everything, uploaded everything *again* and screwed up and didn't change the "recommended" setting and its set to use subdomains *AGAIN*..........
Now it takes me about an hour to upload everything with my connection so I would REALLY like to not have to uploaded everything for a THIRD time.... Is there anyway I can "uninstall" "reinstall" without deleteing everything and uploading everything again????

delete files:
wp-config.php
.htaccess
drop all tables from your MU database.
There's never any need to re-upload all the files all over again.
(I upload zips and unpack 'em on the server. Faster all the way around.)
I just followed the instructions above and I keep getting "No WPMU site defined on this host. If you are the owner of this site, please check Debugging WPMU for further assistance." Unfortunately, the answer doesn't seem to be there.
I had only had it installed for 5 minutes. Anyone have any other ideas as to what needs to be dropped/deleted/overwritten?
Are you on a cpanel host? Have to delete the htacces via ftp.
This particular site is a dreamhost account but I uploaded the files over sftp using FileZilla and then deleted wp-config.php and .htaccess the same way.
Did you drop the db tables?
Tried again and it is working now.
Sorry to revive old thread.
I installed WPMU in the same database as a few other wp-blogs but I chose subdomains which didnt work.
I want to remove the tables used by WPMU. I just dont know what tables are careated by WPMU and what tables belong to my other blogs.
So my question is: Exactly what tables does WPMU create and is it safe to remove these if there are other WP-installations in the same database?
when you installed you should have had the option to specify a table prefix. By default it is wp_ so if you look into your database you should see a pile of tables all starting with wp_ and for each blog you should see wp_x_ where x is the blog id.
I have the following tables. I have 3 previous wp-bloggs that I want to keep these are:
wp_ar
wp_jj
wp_thelamp
so is it safe to remove all wp_1, wp_2 and:
wp_blogs
wp_blog_versions
wp_registration_log
wp_signups
wp_site
wp_sitecategories
wp_sitemeta
wp_usermeta
wp_users
without damaging my other wp-installs?
Here is a list of tables in my db
wp_1_comments
wp_1_links
wp_1_options
wp_1_postmeta
wp_1_posts
wp_1_terms
wp_1_term_relationships
wp_1_term_taxonomy
wp_2_comments
wp_2_links
wp_2_options
wp_2_postmeta
wp_2_posts
wp_2_terms
wp_2_term_relationships
wp_2_term_taxonomy
wp_ar_comments
wp_ar_links
wp_ar_options
wp_ar_postmeta
wp_ar_posts
wp_ar_terms
wp_ar_term_relationships
wp_ar_term_taxonomy
wp_ar_usermeta
wp_ar_users
wp_blogs
wp_blog_versions
wp_jj_comments
wp_jj_links
wp_jj_options
wp_jj_postmeta
wp_jj_posts
wp_jj_terms
wp_jj_term_relationships
wp_jj_term_taxonomy
wp_jj_usermeta
wp_jj_users
wp_registration_log
wp_signups
wp_site
wp_sitecategories
wp_sitemeta
wp_thelamp_comments
wp_thelamp_links
wp_thelamp_options
wp_thelamp_postmeta
wp_thelamp_posts
wp_thelamp_terms
wp_thelamp_term_relationships
wp_thelamp_term_taxonomy
wp_thelamp_usermeta
wp_thelamp_users
wp_usermeta
wp_users
I think so, but backup the database first, or rename them and see if anything in your existing blogs breaks!
