WordPress MU

What does all this mean? How can I fix it? Sorry if this has been asked.

WordPress database error: [Table 'usmanlaw_BlogsByTopic.wp_1_options' doesn't exist]

Searched for blogsbytopic.com/wpmu/ in usmanlaw_BlogsByTopic::wp_blogs table. Is that right?

I have been stuck at this same level for the past day. I investigated into the code. Here's what i understand.
On august 17th, a new plug in was added "wp-hashcash.php". This is adding options BEFORE the tables were created.
So if you got the version prior to august 17th you are doing well.
I think this has to do with how the initia blog is created. It used to be done through function calls and seems like it was moved into a plug in.
I just wish the developer did some basic testing before releasing this change into nightly build. I dont' want to sound critical, this person seems to be doing a great job with the whole software, but this just seems like basic testing is missing.
Does any one have a prior version of build to download?

guess not?

I do have the 8-14 version; but suppose things will get fixed soon. How can I get it to you?

Eiter host it and we can download it or email it.

Thanks a lot!

I put the download from 8-16 here http://anyonesblog.com/lucid1/wpmu-unstable-8-16.tar.gz

if anyone official has a problem with me putting that there, please let me know....
thanks

Thank you!!
Downloaded this version and got past the errors! thank you very much!

However, I am able to go through the installation process and it redirects me to the main page (www.mysite.com) and when i go there, it is asking me to go through the install again.

lucid1, can you help me?

thank you in advance

We must be doing something wrong

sorry, that is not an error I am familier with... I am not a developer, just a tinkerer... perhaps after the weekend one of them will come on and help you. Maybe sooner even... good luck!

This is a problem with my apache directives. I had to set
"AllowOverride All" in my apache conf file and now everything works fine

How do you do that? is that like the 777 thing?

Hmm, can you edit the virtualhost configuration for your apache server? This has to be a line with in your apache server configuration file.

This is probaly something my Host is suppose to do. I will email them.

Good plan, I just ask mine to, ahem:

" Hiya,

Please can you create a dns wildcard alias and an apache wildcard virtual hosts for ladedadeda.com

Cheers, James "

And it works... programming for dogs :D

I've downloaded the version you provided - I just can't get past the

"Please check that your database contains the following tables:

bit...

I'm going nuts here - Tried on 3 different servers and keep getting errors...

It's got to be something I'm doing, I just can't see where I'm going wrong at all.

I've tried changing the table prefix from wp_ to mu_

I've tried the latest rebuilds - the old one provided above - everything I can think of...

Any ideas anyone?

Im still stuck there to

I posted in another thread too...

Doesn't look like support reaches this far yet...

It's a shame - such a great bit of software, and I just can't use it yet...

There is support, but it's limited and not infinite. Did you install into the root of your server or into a directory? Try the root, might work better!

I thought you have to put it in the wpmu folder?

Hej, I had the same problem.

The point is that the installation wizard creat a line in wp_blogs with the field "path" with a "/" less.

For example for me was "/wp" instead od "/wp/" ... once I changed this the BLOG appeared.

Hope this help

This is what I see in wp_blogs/path

* If field type is "enum" or "set", please enter the values using this format: 'a','b','c'...
If you ever need to put a backslash ("\") or a single quote ("'") amongst those values, backslash it (for example '\\xyz' or 'a\'b').
** For default values, please enter just a single value, without backslash escaping or quotes, using this format: a

What do I do with that?

Actually in my DB the field "path" in the table "wp_blog" is a varchar(100) ... so.

I've installed the last version of WordpressMU, the one is on download now.

Simone

Reinstalled the latest version, Its varchar 100, still getting the same thing, dont see where i would add the \, still gettin the same error

things are looking bleak

There is support, but it's limited and not infinite. Did you install into the root of your server or into a directory? Try the root, might work better!

I understand that - It wasn't a dig... :)

I have installed it in the root (Well, example.com/wpmu/)

That is the directory the site has to sit in right?

The DB tables are *certianly* there, so I just don't see why it's not seeing them. :)

Cheers

To UsmanLaw,

can you please tell me how many lines you have in the table "wp_blog" (should be one) and the content of them/it ?

I have 7 fields. 3 lines in the path field. Did I answer that right?

you forgot the values of them ... ;-D

I get this with newest build...

Not sure what you mean by value.

Install WPMU into the root of your webserver, not /wpmu/ - it's a pain but it's buggy otherwise. If you can fix the bug and mail me a patch it'd be great though!
