    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]
    SELECT option_name FROM wp_1_options WHERE option_name = 'wp_hashcash_rand'

    WordPress database error: [Table 'usmanlaw_BlogsByTopic.wp_1_options' doesn't exist]
    SELECT option_name FROM wp_1_options WHERE option_name = 'wp_hashcash_rand'

    WordPress database error: [Table 'usmanlaw_BlogsByTopic.wp_1_options' doesn't exist]
    INSERT INTO wp_1_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload) VALUES ('wp_hashcash_rand', '', '', 'yes')

    WordPress database error: [Table 'usmanlaw_BlogsByTopic.wp_1_options' doesn't exist]
    UPDATE wp_1_options SET option_value = '10521082' WHERE option_name = 'wp_hashcash_rand'

    Could Not Find Blog!
    Searched for blogsbytopic.com/wpmu/ in usmanlaw_BlogsByTopic::wp_blogs table. Is that right?
    Please check that your database contains the following tables:
    wp_blogs
    wp_users
    wp_usermeta
    wp_site
    wp_sitemeta
    wp_sitecategories

    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?

    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

    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

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

    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:
    wp_blogs

    wp_usermeta
    wp_site

    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?

    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.

    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. :)

    Not sure what you mean by value.
    Maybe this is what it is.
    Statements 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!
