    all site links (e.g /blog /members) are not working
    if I manually type in http://www.purelypc.com/nathan/index.php/blog then the pages come up
    is there a way of making all links have index.php in the link ?

    1) WPMU doesn't expect to find www in the urls which isn't going to help

    2) You seem to be running " Zeus/4.3" as a server which claims to have close compatibility with Apache. Have you turned on mod_rewrite

    My host names.co.uk doesn't allow me to change or see the server files, so I don't know if it's active. I've searched online and tried adding certain scripts but it's still not working. So I just need to find a way to add index.php/ in front of all links. I know it's not the best option but I know it'll work

    I think this is one of the very few times an htaccess edit would actually do it.

    I've just pulled it down and about to reinstall
    what would I have to add/change in the htaccess file ?
    If it still doesn't work then I'll just have to change host, because I absolutely hate namesco with wordpress anyway

    I've left it as a normal wordpress site at the moment
    asking parents later to change to a different host

    i've changed it now so wordpress mu is at http://purelypc.com
    but it's still coming up with 404 error
    And now, even if I type in http://purelypc.com/index.php/blog it still won't work

    Is mod_rewrite (or whatever the Zeus equivalent is) enabled?

    Right, I've done research on the Zeus Webserver. I need a rewrite.script for wordpress mu to work.
    Does anyone know what I need to include in the rewrite.script?
    If anyone has a working mod_rewrite script, I can easily convert it into a rewrite.script
    So if anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it

    Hey Shoeyn,

    Not sure if you have this sorted, but I have the rewrite.script code

    #Zeus webserver version of basic Wordpress mod_rewrite rules
    map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL}
    look for file at %{SCRATCH:path}
    if exists then goto END
    look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path}
    if exists then goto END
    ##### FIX FOR LOGIN/FORGOTTEN PASSWORD/ADMIN ETC #####
    match URL into $ with ^/wp-.*$
    if matched then goto END
    set URL = /index.php
