WordPress MU

I've created about 10 pages on one of my MU sites. I have pretty permalinks set and they work just fine. However, when I created the /blog and /contact pages, they came up with a Page Not Found error. If I manually change the permalinks on each page to something else (ie: from /blog to /blogs) it works just fine.

This is actually the problem on all of my MU sites. It's a minimal problem, but I would really like my Blog page to be /blog and not try to come up with something else. I appreciate any thoughts.

Are you using a subfolder format for the blogs?

No, I have MU setup as subdomains, if that's what you mean.

Yeah, that's what I meant. :) Because in the subfolder option, the /blog/ permalink is used on the main blog to prevent url rewrite collisions.

You ding this on the main blog, or on sub-blogs? Or domain mapped ones?

I hate to admit this, but I have no idea what you mean by those last questions. I am apparently more of a novice than I choose to admit.

If you're using subfolders, the main blog would be like so:
http://mydomain.com/

A subblog wold be like so:
http://mydomain.com/mysubblog/

A mapped domain would be like so:
http://myotherdomain.com (which points to http://mydomain.com/myotherdomain)

Make sense?

Sort of, though I will admit I haven't heard the term mapped domain before...

Right now, my main site is mydomain.com
When I create pages, they show up as mydomin.com/page

When I create a new blog, it is created like newblog.mydomain.com

So I suppose I'm using mapped domains?

no, you;re using subdomains. mapped domains is a term used from the Domain Mapping plugin, when you want an entirely new TLD to show for your blog, and not the subdomain.

Are you using the latest MU download?

I'm using 2.8.6

Okay, i see from the other thread you did some name changing and moving around. That might have something to do with it. not sure.

So it's just something I need to live with?

Dunno, I have to go test.

I know you have other issues though.
