WordPress MU

I have upgraded to 1.3 from 1.2.4. I deleted all folders and files except .htaccess, wp-config.php, and the directory /wp-content

I have already referred to this post: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=6899&page&replies=22 and the suggestions there have not solved my problem.

After adding new blogs, I do not receive notification from system, I cannot access the blog through URL or the backend. Accessing the URL either front end or backend leads me to to the blog leads me to http://subalterncinema.com/wp-admin/install.php

I tried bumping up the sql version in /wp-includes/version.php but it did not help either.

Any help appreciated.

bump. anybody please?

Any information about your server?

This was noted in a recent trac ticket, although under a different set of circumstances, but a recent fix that's in the latest trac revision corrected a similar issue. As a side benefit, it also corrected this (which wasn't a widespread problem, but did cause certain version of mysql to bork).

you mean apache and mysql versions?

"...certain version of mysql..."

OK. made the following changes to the wp-config file

original
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf-8');

changed to
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

THis seems to have had the following effect. I am now able to add blogs. But for some strange reason they are not listed on the home page (I use the list all posts plugin). Please see http://subalterncinema.com I have added the blog test http://subalterncinema.com/test but the same is not displayed on home page.

But changing the charset from utf-8 to utf8 has hosed the site for special characters. See http://subalterncinema.com/kishore/2007/10/13/%e0%a4%98%e0%a4%9f%e0%a4%95-%e0%a4%95%e0%a5%80-%e0%a4%bf%e0%a4%a8%e0%a4%ae%e0%a5%8d%e0%a4%a8%e0%a4%a4%e0%a4%be/

Same problem here after upgrading from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3. A new user registered a blog. Right after entering the activation code he was redirected to /wp-admin/install.php. No blog-tables were created.

Though an existing user registered a new blog and everything worked.

Running a vhost-Install on Apache 2.2.3 and Mysql 5.x an PHP 5.1.x. I never had problems with db-charset utf-8.

Mhh, I see this also now on a testblog, I wonder if this is plugin related.

Is there any resolution to this? I am experiencing several issues with WPmu after an upgrade from 1.1.1 (to 1.3.3). Whenever a new blog is added, any attempt to access that blog redirects you to /wp-admin/install.php, which does not exist in this version of WPmu . I am running

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4
Apache 2.0.59
MySQL-5.0.45-community
PHP 5.2.3

I performed a clean install of the extracted files and selectively copied over old files (plugins, themes, wp-config.php)

I guess this could answered by someone who knows if there is supposed to be an install.php in wp-admin, or if the browser is being incorrectly redirected.

Plugins installed: NiceAdmin, SK2, Per User Themes

Check and see if the tables exist in the database. My guess is not (I've had this error before).

No, no tables are being created. Although a row is inserted into the "wp_blogs" table.

I figured it was the 'install.php' that created this since that is where I'm being redirected?

Bump

Any ideas? It's going to be a problem real soon when we need to add more blogs.
