WordPress MU

I've just upgraded to RC4 from a copy of WPMU serveral months old. I've got everything working flawless, but for my main blog it now seems to want to force me to have /blog/ in permalinks for posts.

I've edited the "permalink_structure" value in the database to remove the /blog/ prefix, but this just changes the links on the site, and doesn't cause the pages to physically work again.

Any ideas? It worked fine on my old build :(

Somehow I fixed it.. I'm not even sure how :(

I screw around for hours with no avail... then i post here... and it fixes itself 3 minutes later :/

Sometimes the htaccess is cached and it needs a chance to clear for changes to permalink structure to take effect.

I have the same problem. However changing the permalink_structure, category_base and rewrite_rules in the options table doesn't seem to help.
The links are displayed how I want them (without the '/blog' prefix) but they don't work. Opening a single article permalink or category permalink will display the homepage content.
Adding the 'blog/' suffix will make the url return a 404.

Any idea how to get rid of this 'blog/' suffix?

I think I've found something for this. This can work as a plugin that will remove the 'blog/' suffix

function wpdate_rewrite_rules_array($wp_rw){
    $wp_rw_tmp = array();
    foreach($wp_rw as $k=>$v){
        $k = preg_replace('#^blog/#','',$k);
        $wp_rw_tmp[$k] = $v;
    }
    $post_permalink_structure = get_option('permalink_structure');
    $post_permalink_structure = preg_replace('#^/blog/#','/',$post_permalink_structure);
    update_option('permalink_structure',$post_permalink_structure);

    $category_base = get_option('category_base');
    $category_base = preg_replace('#^/blog/#','/',$category_base);
    update_option('category_base',$category_base);

    return $wp_rw_tmp;
}
add_filter('rewrite_rules_array','wpdate_rewrite_rules_array');

Permalinks need to be updated in order for this to have effect.

I just cut it off from the source, as it's much easier than having all that above parsed every time. 2 little edits and it's done.

lunabyte: can you describe what you did to resolve this?

I would like to know what lunabyte did also

I fixed my problem with a custom fix described on another thread
