    Is this a way to use wordpres mu ?...

    I am building a CMS site using wordpress and I really like it. I want to design several websites each on it's own domain name but not have to upload the wordpress files to each domain.

    Is this a realistic way to use wordpress mu?

    I want to be able to use completely seperate domain names for each website.

    Do you know the exact name of the Domain mapping plugin?

    I'm having a hard time finding it.

    "domain mapping"

    It's in the official plugin repository.

    I'm so bummed, I can't get the install to work. I have spent a bunch of time on this. Watched the install video, etc... I have installed wordpress more than once without problems so I get "how" it should all go...

    I think I almost have it: http://www.mu.hcsdesigns.net/index.php

    I check the sql database and all the table are there.

    There is one area of the wp-config that I don't understand what to put and I think it may be what is holding me up:

    [/ double check $base
    if( $base == 'BASE' )
    die( 'Problem in wp-config.php - $base is set to BASE when it should be the path like "/" or "/blogs/"! Please fix it!' );]

    what do I put for 'BASE'?

    I loaded my files to my root directory of the domain.

    Please help

    "what do I put for 'BASE'? "

    You don't. The install builds the wp-config file for you.

    Here's an ebook with step-by-step.
