WordPress MU

I've configured all (A WP 2.7.1 installation was already done successfully on the same hosting platform).

Did the /wp-admin/install.php
and message was:

"Success!
WordPress has been installed. Were you expecting more steps? Sorry to disappoint."
with admin and pwd

But when I go the message is:
Fatal Error
If your blog does not display, please contact the owner of this site.

If you are the owner of this site please check that MySQL is running properly and all tables are error free.

Database Tables Missing.
Database tables are missing. This means that MySQL is either not running, WPMU was not installed properly, or someone deleted wp_site. You really should look at your database now.
etc etc

WHAT THE HELL WENT WRONG?????
THE CONFIG FILE CONTAINS ALL THE DATA
thanks

"A WP 2.7.1 installation was already done successfully on the same hosting platform"

This is the kicker. As well as this:

""Success!
WordPress has been installed. Were you expecting more steps? Sorry to disappoint.""

WPMU doesn't show that message on a normal install.

What do you intend sorry?
I did an installation NOT on the same hosting of course. I tested WP 2.7.1 but I deleted the db and created a new one from scratch.

On the other hand, i double checked that the tables was really created: and they are all on the db, ready to run.

I checked the mod_rewrite too, and it's installed and active

So, the files on the website are the *only* ones I've unpacked from the Mu package, not others.

what's the problem? Yes, it's the first WP-Mu install I do, but Which message should appear (and from which file, at this point?).

thanks

And how did you install it? Did you edit the config file or not?

Yes, I edited the config file (otherwise, I think, the installation procedure didn't start at all), as I did for the other WP 2.7.1, just adding the few additional fields:

/wp-config.php

(I stripped off comments and sensible data):

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'pef_1');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'pefadmin');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '*****');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', '*********');

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
define('VHOST', 'VHOSTSETTING');
$base = '/';
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', '**********.it' );
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1' );

define('AUTH_KEY', 'some garbage');
define('AUTH_KEY', 'some garbage');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY' 'some garbage');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'some garbage');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'some garbage');
define('AUTH_SALT', 'some garbage');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'some garbage');
define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT 'some garbage');

$table_prefix = 'wp_';

define ('WPLANG', '');

define( "WP_USE_MULTIPLE_DB", false );

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** WordPress absolute path to the Wordpress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
?>

PS. The define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT missing comma is my transcription error, not as on config file.

During MU installs, the config file is set/edited by MU, unlike in plain WP. Also,
vhost=yes

No, don't say me that simple! I can't believe.

Now I try .. thanks.
