There was a problem creating the .htaccess file in /home/myweb/public_html.

Error: Could Not Write To .htaccess.

Please Help me!

with ftp client make chmod 777 over your actual .htaccess befor install wpmu.

i found that by deleting the directory, then untar the archive again, then chmod -R 777 wpmu

that seemed to help.

you should probably drop all your tables and try really going from scratch.
