I am looking to use WPMU and BuddyPress for a new site and have just finished installing WPMU. I am able to log in, create new users, go through the various dash board contents and create a test blog.
The test blog has a link on the home page http://as7.bluefishwireless.com/wordpressmu/ but when I click the link I get
The requested URL /wordpressmu/2009/06/07/jamess-first-blog/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5 with Suhosin-Patch Server at as7.bluefishwireless.com Port 80
I have tried to go through the various instructions to configure apache2 but am having no luck.
In /var/www/wordpressmu I have htaccess.dist file with following contents;
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase BASE/
#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,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]
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
In /etc/apache2 I have an empty htaccess.conf file and an apache2.conf file where I have changed the default directory lines to
# Alias /error/ "/usr/share/apache2/error/"
#
<Directory "/usr/share/apache2/error">
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
Options IncludesNoExec
AddOutputFilter Includes html
AddHandler type-map var
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# LanguagePriority en cs de es fr it nl sv pt-br ro
# ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback
</Directory>
This is where I found the 'AllowOveride' and thought it must have been where I needed to make the changes.
I am very new to configuring apache so any help to fix this problem would be very much appreciated.
