WordPress MU

Hello, I'm trying to install wordpress mu 2.7.
I did all the steps required and nothing appears, only a 404 error.
What can i do?

404 error where?

In http://www.meditationee.com/Spiritual-Blogs

In Spiritual-Blogs are the files of wordpress mu.

You had 404 error issues a month ago didn't you? Did you ever get those resolved because if you didn't I'd suggest that your problem this time is the same problem as last time

Yes, I deleted all last time and now i'm trying to install it again.
But, i don't know, the first time was easy and quick, i did the steps several times and nothing happens.

My first guess would be that your .htaccess file "BASE" directive and the wp-config.php options for "base", "domain_current_site" and/or "path_current_site" are invalid.

So, you mean create a new database?
And I have a question, the .htaccess file is created when you install wordpress? Because in the folder of wordpress 2.7. is already created.

compare it to the "htaccess.dist" file, and compare the "wp-config.php" file with "wp-config-sample.php".

I don't have the "htaccess.dist" file.

This file is in installation package of WPMU.

I compare them, they seems to be ok.

There is at least one difference between htaccess.dist and .htaccess that you should have on your server.
In .htaccess there should be RewriteBase /

And where is the .htaccess file?

The htaccess.dist:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase BASE/

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

Rename htaccess.dist to .htaccess and upload to your website's root folder.

Change
RewriteBase BASE/
to
RewriteBase /

I did what you told me but when i upload the .htaccess file doesn't appear in the server.

Some FTP clients do not display hidden files by default. The .htaccess is a hidden file.
Go thru options of your FTP client and make it display hidden files.

What hosting are you using?

I'm using ix web hosting.
To uploading files i use Bullet Proof and i don't find the hidden option.

Well, i can see the file now but doesn`t work anyway

What doesn't work?

Wordpress mu, i don't understand why appears the 404 error.
Because I followed all the steps.

Any ideas what can I do?

I need help.

can u tell the steps u followed?

http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

if you follow those steps then there should not any error as last week i installed 2 wpmu at IX hosting.

Did u get the installation page?

No, only appears a 404 error.

ok then, try to rename the folder. I think it's batter for you to use sub domain. use your domain pointer to point to that folder.

Is your hosting Linux based or windows based? You havent saved the file as something like .Htaccess instead? it has to be lower case. Most apache based installs will hide the file in your browser, but that doesn't mean its not there. It should be visible in your FTP upload unless - perhaps- -that too is using a web interface that doesn't display dot files.

jagalizzi, given all the issues you've experienced, you might just want to hire someone to do it for you.

second that proposal :)

when I installed for first time was easy and fast, but suddenly stopped working and now every time I want to install it, this error happens.
