HOST by "

in my wp-config.php file, the following problem exists:
// 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!' );
i tried changing "BASE" to "/", but dashboard refresh to above message, plz any ideas welcome.

problem sorted. Edited wp-blog-header.php
if ( !file_exists( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-config.php') && !file_exists( dirname( dirname(__FILE__) ) . '/wp-config.php')) { on line 10
} line 20
all good to go.
You shouldn't be editing core WPMU files to get things to work.
That's the line to comment out to get it running in a subfolder. sometimes you have to uncomment it again.

i agree with you, I would not have done if things have gone smooth. but i am new to all this, this installation was my first and the sixth in a row, i pretty much learned a great deal, the hard way, by trial and error. plus my host wouldn't support in this arena.
And andrea_r, many thanks for your support again.
