Hi I followed all the instructions in readme.txt file, but keep getting same error.
here's what I did
1. Download and unzip the WordPress MU package.
2. Create a database for WordPress MU on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
3. Place the WordPress MU files in the desired location on your web server: - I uploaded all the MU the files to root.
4. Make sure your install directory and the wp-contents directory are writeable by the webserver.
5. Run the WordPress MU installation script by accessing index.php in your favorite web browser.
This is where the problem starts.
The error 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.
Now, in the database I can see that all the tables have got created. wp_site, wp_blogs, etc. etc.
Here is what I changed in wp-config.php
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'mohanarun');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'mohanarun');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'myterrificpassword');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'mohanarun.db.3980805.hostedresource.com');
/** 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', 'lavinitair.com' );
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1' );
I changed $base to '/' but no luck. i want to use the same MU installation for several domains, but to begin with, it needs to work with this particular domain. What am I doing wrong?
