    I've successfully installed both Wordpress and WordpressMU. Now I would like to create multiple blogs in WPMU. Can't find instructions to do this. It should be so evident since that's what WMPU is all about. Would appreciate some hand-holding. Thanks.

    And to spell it out a little more, as far as I know, there's no way to automatically add a whole bunch of blogs all at once. You have to create each one through the link andrew mentioned above, but the creation process is really just picking a name for it and assigning an author. Then boom, it's done.

    wpmu is setup in http://mydomian.org/wpmu. If I enter http://mydomain.org/wp-newblog.php OR http://mydomain.org/signup/ I get a page not found. If I enter http://mydomain.org/wpmu/wp-newblog.php OR http://mydomain.org/wpmu/signup/I get a sign-in page for my initial blog. I don't get a screen that asks me to setup a new blog.

    So... are you using the default template? Didn't change it for the main blog? On that, it had the proper link to "click here to make a new blog".

    Can you give us the real URL so we can have a look-see?

    http://www.wiprogram.org/wpmu/

    I believe that's the site they are discussing.

    The signup should be at http://wiprogram.org/wpmu/wp-newblog.php but it's just reloading the main blog.

    Yes, the url is http://www.wiprogram.org/wpmu. I reset the template back to the default from Wordpress Classic.

    Something's up with the htaccess file because you're having the same problem I'm having with the WPMUFeed plugin. The URL gets rewritten into a subdirectory and that creates a 404.

    http://domain.tld/wpmu/wp-newblog.php/ (make note of the '/' at the end) works for me.

    When I try adding the trailing /, I get the WIP MULTIUSER PAGE but with Error 404 - Not Found.

    tory I suspect you didn't upload wp-newblogs or for the new build wp-signup.php. Try uploading again. :)

    tory, others of us are having the same issue.

    I had this issue. Fixed by manually editing .htaccess and changing:

    RewriteBase /wp/

    to:

    RewriteBase /wpmu/

    That wpmu should refer the the subdirection under which you installed WordPress MU.
