    My site seem to be ok but once I try to create a user account I can't validate the account from the email that was sent. I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" so it seem as though the site does not exist.

    Here is the link to my site

    Try creating a new blog and you will see what happens.

    Thanks

    Did you fidle with the permalink settings? It can't find anything off the main site other than the login/signup.

    Like the feed, the about page that should be there...

    I didn't fiddle with any of the settings. What I did was try and create a new blog from the front page as if I was a new person trying to get a blog. The sign up process went well but when I try and click the validation link from the email that was sent I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" For some reason the sub domain is not working

    Please check your database tables. A looksee at your site shows that WPMU things your URL is http://net/urbansugga/

    I deleted and reinstall and I get this error message again

    WordPress database error: [Field 'category_description' doesn't have a default value]
    INSERT INTO wp_1_categories (cat_ID, cat_name, category_nicename, category_count) VALUES ('0', 'Uncategorized', 'uncategorized', 1)

    WordPress database error: [Field 'category_description' doesn't have a default value]
    INSERT INTO wp_1_categories (cat_ID, cat_name, category_nicename, link_count) VALUES ('2', 'Blogroll', 'blogroll', 2)

    Congrats! Your WPMU site has been set up and you have been sent details of your login and password in an email.

    Also the subdomain does not work

    here is a copy of my htaccess file

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Rewrite http://www.domain.com to domain.com
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
    RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%1/$1 [R,L]

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*)?/?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [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]

    I am on the verge of giving up :(

    You may have not deleted everything. :)

    As to the URL issue, please make sure that when you install, you use urbansugga.net. If I remember correctly, the issue you're facing on that may be because you used http://www.urbansugga.net. Please double check that. (edit: Although it looks like you got that figured out now)

    As to the subdomain, have you modified Apache and DNS like is says to in the install instructions?

    I deleted everything.. I deleted the site from IIS, I deleted the file folder and created a new folder for the files, and I deleted the database and created a new one with a new name. I did use urbansugga.net and not http://www.urbansugga.net

    I have IIS running and per this post I thought IIS was ok to use. If IIS won't work please let me know.

    you deleted everything, but you did not delete the database content... so the re-install does not work.

    there is some issues with IIS, search in this forum for answers about them.
