    Hi to all!

    I try to install MU-Wordpress without any result.

    I get always the message "Database Table Missing"; the following tables really aren't on my MySQL:
    * mm_blogs
    * mm_users
    * mm_usermeta
    * mm_site
    * mm_sitemeta
    * mm_sitecategories

    ("mm" is the table prefix that I have selected...)

    Can you help me ???

    Hi

    I've got the same problem with the version wordpress-mu-2.8.2. I get since yesterday trying to resolve this problem. But I have not achieved it.

    I'm using it on Windows XP sp3.

    Greetings

    Thank you.

    AinTz: looks like you're trying to set up WPMU with your single WP DB. Can't do that off the bat. Following instructions might help you

    I disagree, mercime. I'm installing a fresh WPMU2.8.2 and I'm getting the exact same error.

    I've checked permissions on the db and directories. I've changed the host name to use host.domain.com instead of just host, and I still get the error. This is being setup inside the firewall, and I was hoping to use the host name only.

    Apache and PHP 4.3.9 configurations appear to be correct.

    Not sure where else to look.

    Curse of knowledge -- I just had to go edit the wp-config file before I ran the setup. Simply unzipping the files, applying permissions to the root and wp-content solved the first problem.

    But, another error happened. I can't find the link now, but on these forums a user figured out that having a wp-config.php in the directory below my new wpmu installation caused the problem. Example /var/www/html had a wp-config.php; but the wpmu installation was in /var/www/html/wpmu. I moved the wpmu installation to /var/www/html/wpmu/new-wpmu and that got me a site.

    However... I couldn't access the panel. I seemed to re-call that WPMU hates using only the host name. So, I started over and this time using site.domain.com. I'm disappointed I couldn't use a host name only, but it works now.
