still don't iknow how to truly setup the wildcard thing =
had a previous installation with virtialhost set to "yes" but nothing in the wildcard set, the site worked, but of course everything was without www. and the endslash had to be there, without that in the url, user gets 404 page.
I need to re-install clean and before I do this, I need to know exactly what is required for me to do:
I have currently[locally] the last nightly unzipped and stuck the wp-admin, wp-content, wp-iclude in to a folder named "blogs" where the wp php files are of course.
Am still confused what the difference is for actually creating a subdomain on my server versus not doing that - regarding the installation and if not creating manually a subdomain, do I still need wildcard as in %blogs ?
installing MU in to the directory "blogs" within the root directory - what will the homepage url be and further, what will user cretaed blog url be?
Would very much appreciate if someone could explain to me these results.
Am not a total newbie - just have never had to know these things before, although I run 16 websites, own the server hosting - but never needed to do this before but my programmer who usually maintains and configures these things has terrible car crash and is out of commission at least for the next 3 months.
Am really desperate to get MU working properly.
Thanx for any advise.
ps: the first installation was kind of a test for me, it all worked except the email notification to a user with activatio [password etc] never got there.
Need to avoid at least these pitfalls at the new clean install.
