I've just downloaded, unzipped, and installed wpmu 1.0RC4 in the root of my domain with the SubDir option chosen. I am on a shared hosting server running Apache 1.3.29. I ran the install and everything went fine.
However, when I type http://openpagepublishing.com/ into the address bar, I get "Page cannot be displayed" in IE and the following error in FF:
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
I played with the .htaccess file (changed the % to $ in the first RewriteCond line) and at least got the content to display, but with no formatting. Here's my .htaccess file as it stands now:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# 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]
I'm at a loss here--any help would be great. Thanks.
