    Hello!

    I've just installed WPMU on my localhost. I created vhost for it: http://wpmu. Instalation was without any problems, but when im trying to login into administration panel sometimes it works...
    Im using mac
    1. ON SAFARI login works
    2. ON FIREFOX i'm typing login and password, and after LOGIN - nothing happen - I have got reloaded login page with empty form fields. In adress bar I can see redirect: http://wpmu/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwpmu%2Fwp-admin%2F
    3. ON GOOGLE CHROME I cant login too, redirect:
    http://wpmu/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://wpmu/wp-admin/
    and nothing happen...

    Please dear Wordpress Community help me!
    Greetings!

    You need to install it with a two part domain name - so wpmu.local or localhost.localdomain

    Steve,

    Thanks for your reply! What does it mean? I have to create vhost:
    wpmu.local 127.0.0.1 ?
    Or I dont know.. creating "general" domain local and sub-domain: wpmu with result: wpmu.local ?

    Greetings!

    You need to put

    127.0.0.1 wpmu.local

    into your hosts file on your computer and make sure that your webserver is configured correctly.

    Then delete the tables that have been created in the DB and delete the config.php file and the .htaccess file (NOT the DIST versions)

    Then go to http://wpmu.local and you should get the install screen again.

    Steve,

    Thanks a lot! Now everything works. It is my first installation of WP-MU, single WP looks a bit easier.

    Cheers!

    Don't forget that if you've installed in subdomain mode then for each blog you add you'll need to add that host alias to the 127.0.0.1 line
