WordPress MU

i have only IIS on main windows hosting servers and WordPressMU is not designed to work with IIS. It needs mod_rewrite Apache module and I didn't find any solution how to make it working on IIS.

help,help

You need to install IIS Mod-Rewrite Pro.

Also, you need to copy the following line of code at the beginning of wp-settings.php:

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL'];

This is a easy and well working solution.

install IIS Mod-Rewrite Pro can my hosting adminstrator?

Best bet would be to ask your host how they want it done. Heck, they may already have it installed.

you can see http://latvians.eu/wpmu/

install o.k but cannot open posts and Create a new blog

That's because you need to have mod_rewrite installed as you noted.

baltic123,

did you copy the following line of code in wp-settings.php, as I mentioned before?

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL'];

This is essential for being able to create a new blogsite.

For more information on this issue, take a look at these two threads:

One thing that isn't clear to me: if you choose to have your blogs created as http://www.mysite.com/blogs/username , is there actually a directory called "username" inside the /blogs directory? Or is this a virtual directory?

It's virtual. you'll never see it on the server.

Why is it that your WPMU is now fonctionning ?
I'am the author of the blog http://test2.latvians.eu/?p=3
you can check and see.

I'am having the same problem, i m working with IIS server,
This is my blogging system http://clik-on.com/blog2/

When you try to create a new blog, you have this error :
http://clik-on.com/blog2/wp-signup.php page not found

Should I install mod_rewrite before i can create a new blog?

Have you checked to see if the file is actually there? I would also check to see if there's anything in the webserver's error logs as well.

mod_rewrite is a requirment for using the software and needs to be installed. I wouldn't worry about needing it before or after creating a blog. It just needs to be installed.
