advancedracedotcomI installed WPMU 2.7.1 at http://advancedrace.com/new/. My host and I (he allowed me to come to his office for helping me in the installation procedure) followed the readme.txt and the installation instructions found over at here(http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU).
We checked we got mod_rewrite enabled, as when we disbled it the wpmu installer gave us a warning telling us that mod_rewrite disabled.
We also have the line "AllowOverride FileInfo Options" in the appropriate place in the Apache instead of "AllowOverride None".
We used subdirectory install as my host asked me to keep wpmu blogs in subdirectories.
So other than that I have a normal wordpress install in another directory, a copy of its files are under the public_html folder though, allowing it run on the main domain page which is advancedrace.com
As so the WPMU guys say on the download page of this current version :"
Requirements
Apart from WordPress Requirements
Apache mod_rewrite - if you had WP installed already with fancy URLs then you should be fine. "
While installing wpmu in the public_html folder though I just renamed the wp-config.php file for the few minutes while we ran the wpmu installation and then changed it back to normal.
But after entering all the data on the installation page like database user and password and other, we get to the page showing the password. But when we click on login it gives a 500 internal server error.
If the .htaccess file is renamed to htaccess.txt then we get into the login and get the admin panels and the site. We were first creating pages and blogs but none worked as they showed 404 error. But then in the admin menu of permalinks I just changed the permalinks to default format from the previous "month and name" format, and the permalinks for pages are now working as you might notice, but the blogs that are getting created, they are still showing page 404 error.
Here is what is in my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /new/
#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>Just for your information I dont have a .htaccess file for the other wordpress setup in the public_html folder as it is in the other directoty where it is originally installed, and all the databases are created fine as well, as checked by my host and me.
I hope I have given the most details that I think of.
Could any one please guide me in may be editing the .htaccess file or some other part of the admin or anything else that I might be missing. My host has been very patient and spent a lot of time on this, as we spent together over 4 hours at his office trying to get it to run (I have myself spent over 20 hours on getting it to run and searching for help on this forum and on the web).
