WordPress MU

Hi,

I basically have the problem that once I copy WordPressMU to my server I never get to start the installation, because it just gives me an error 500 page.

VHost ist not an option, I wanted to use subdirs.
The path to my installation ist /wordpressmu/

This error appears with this .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase BASE/wordpressmu

# Rewrite http://www.domain.com to domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)http://%1/$1 [R,L]

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*)?/?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [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]

Hope this is enough information, I can't answer the other questions listed on the DebugWPMU page because I can't get to the installation...oh btw I am using RC2.

The install creates the .htaccess file, rename that back to htaccess.dist and make life easy for yourself :)

Oh really? Thanks for that. But I seem to have moved on to another problem. I now get this message:
"No WPMU site defined on this host."

I think you may need to redo the entire install. Sounds like something didn't get setup correctly.

Well the point is I don't get to the install at all. I just uploaded it to the server.

Wait...ehm...I have some (MySQL)tables from an normal WP blog, would that affect WPMU in anyway?

---Edit---

Here is the solution to my problem

I was trying to install as if I was using WP not WPMU.

Thanks guys, great support.

It now works I get to the installation. But after the installation it the links I get with the email just send me to a page displaying this error again "No WPMU site defined on this host." .

What am I supposed to be entering in the "Server Address" box? http://www.nfvi.is or http://www.nfvi.is/bekkjarsidur?
My WPMU is located on http://www.nfvi.is/bekkjarsidur and I wish to have the blogpages URLs looking like this "www.nfvi.is/bekkjarsidur/blog1"

Can you post the contents of your htaccess file here? In your first post, you should have removed the word "BASE" from "BASE/wordpressmu"

This is the content of my server's .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /bekkjarsidur/

# Rewrite http://www.domain.com to domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%1/$1 [R,L]

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*)?/?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [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]

Have you got the correct VHOST setting in wp-config.php?
