Just to mention I could get muWP installed pretty easily on Windows 2000 with the server package UniformServer 3.2 alpha (that is Apache 2.0, PHP 5.0, MySQL 4.1), see http://www.uniformserver.com
Just pointing out you need to fix the .htaccess as explained in
http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/127
Thanks for this great package!
well... I was maybe a bit too enthusiast... since I seem to have troubles with loops in the redirection process.
When I call a user blog with the url http://example.com/wpmu/blogname I get an error in Firefox: Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked."
Since cookies are not blocked I guess the rewriteRule scheme goes into a loop... I heard internal limit of redirection is 10, that should not be matched if I read .htaccess well.
any suggestions to fix/bypass this redirection limit problem?
Try to install WPMU into the root.
Use vhosts, as using directory names is broken at the moment!
i have the same problem......why install into the root?! ...and how i use the vhosts? i don't understand
I was getting this error because I had capital letters in the blog name. The redirect rules had [0-9a-z-] and when I changed them to [0-9a-zA-Z-] then the recursive rewrites didn't occur. Of course what should happen is that the url and blogname should be flattened to lower case during the creation process.
bazcewel - thanks for finding that. I'll update the default htaccess rules!
