WordPress MU

I'm sure this is user error as I'm new and have a complex setup.

My main page works fine. The "Hello World" post works fine and comes up as "http://localhost.localdomain/wpmu/blog/hello-world/".

However, the Updated Blogs page "my_blog_title" links to the directory "/wpmu/core" which is where I have the WPMU core files. Header, footer and sidebar show up but body has "Error 404 - Not Found".

Everything in settings is pointing to /wpmu/core, but either that's wrong or I've got something wrong in .htaccess.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Hey-ho let's go!
RewriteEngine On
# Base is the URL path of the home directory
RewriteBase /
# Base goes to WordPress
RewriteRule ^$ /wpmu/core/index.php [L]
# Skip real files and directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Otherwise send it to WordPress
RewriteRule .* /wpmu/core/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>


BTW, here's my configuration
Windows XP, XAMPP, mod_rewite on, PHP5

File StructureSetup to ease SVNing wordpress
/core
/wp-content (is a SVN export from the core directory)
wp-config.php (moved from core)
.htaccess (moved from core)

Any help is appreciated. I know I'm close.

Oh yeah, Happy Holidaze!!

Why did you edit your .htaccess file?

If you've installed in a subdirectory (/wmpu) then your rewrite base should be /wmpu and not / . But really if you can you should install in the root of your website. Also not sure how well subdirectory install works with WPMU parked in a subdirectory itself.

and what is:

# Base goes to WordPress
RewriteRule ^$ /wpmu/core/index.php [L]

Doing in there?

More info. BTW, running a single (main) blog.

In the blog detail page of the admin panel, blog path, site url and home url are all set to localdomain/wpmu/core/.

That is the same setting in the wp_1_options and wp_blogs table. However if I change the db tables and the setting above to "wpmu/", for some reason I get the same fatal error saying it's still looking for "/wpmu/core" in the wp_blogs table.

Thanks for the response. I'm trying to implement from the codex.

Good question about subdirectory install, but I only want 1 blog anyway. I'm using MU so I can use Buddypress.

Found my answer. Of course, Andrea gave it awhile ago. Just didn't use right search terms the first time. Hope it helps someone else.
