    Hi, when installing wpmu I got the following problem: I unpack the files into a directory called wordpressmu, I set the wp-config file (obviously there is some problem), I go to the index-install.php and this is the result: No WPMU site defined on this host. If you are the owner of this site, please check Debugging WPMU for further assistance.

    Regullar wordpress (not mu) works fine http://napadite.net/wordpress, MU does nothing – http://napadite.net/wordpresmu/index.php

    This is my configuration:

    <?php // ** MySQL settings ** // // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‚DB_NAME‘, ‚name‘); // The name of the database define(‚DB_USER‘, ‚user‘); // Your MySQL username define(‚DB_PASSWORD‘, ‚password‘); //…and password define(‚DB_HOST‘, ‚host‘); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value define(‚VHOST‘, ‚no‘); $base = ‚/wordpressmu/‘;

    // double check $base if( $base == ‚BASE‘ ) die( ‚Problem in wp-config.php – $base is set to BASE when it should be the path like „/“ or „/blogs/“! Please fix it!‘ );

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database. $table_prefix = ‚wp_‘; // example: ‚wp_‘ or ‚b2‘ or ‚mylogin_‘

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages. // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‚de‘ // to enable German language support.

    define( „WP_USE_MULTIPLE_DB“, false );

    /* Stop editing */

    define(‚ABSPATH‘, dirname(FILE).‚/‘); require_once(ABSPATH.‚wp-settings.php‘); ?>

    I will be very glad for any kind of advices... I haven't set apache files, because I have no access to httpd.conf and I don't have idea how to set .htaccess...

    Thanks

    "I unpack the files into a directory called wordpressmu, I set the wp-config file (obviously there is some problem), I go to the index-install.php and this is the result: No WPMU site defined on this host."

    Do not touch the config file. That's your problem, first. It's right there in the included README. The install for this is not the same as regular WP.

    The htacces is made on installation.

    If you are planning on using the subdomain setup, you absolutely must get that set up before you install. If you can't access the http.conf file, then ask your host to do it.

    It never *told* me not to touch it!! Course it never told me to touch it, either.

    I just figured I had to because a) it didn't tell me not to b) I'm a dumbass who didn't read the directions the first time through and assumed it would be just like installing wordpress, and c) I'm really dumb, so a size 6 font and "DO NOT TOUCH WP-CONFIG, YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CONFIG FILE IN INSTALL KTHANXBYE, BITCH!!" would've totally cleared this up for me :D

    Luckily, I realized that I only had to delete wp-config, and all was golden! :D
