I have successfully installed WPMU (http://<server name>/wpmu/) on my Windows XP box running IIS 6. I am able to do all sort of admin things (i.e. Admin site at "http://<server name>/wpmu/wp-admin" is working just fine), but when I create a new blog using following steps, I am facing problem:
1) go to blog home http://<server name>/wpmu
2) click on Create a new Blog link, opens wp-signup.php page
3) enter "user3" in the username and entered a valid email adress
4) clicked on Gimme a blog! link
5) entered blog name and blog title as "user3" on next screen (url still showing wp-signup.php) and unchecked privacy checkbox
6) clicked on Signup >> button
7) screen displays the following message:
-----------------
<server name>/wpmu/user3/ Is Yours
But, before you can start using your blog, you must activate it.
Check your inbox at user3@yahoo.com and click the link given.
If you do not activate your blog within two days, you will have to sign up again.
----------------------
8) I go and checked my mail and this is what i got in mail:
-------------------
To activate your blog, please click the following link:
http://<server name>//wpmu/wp-activate.php?key=13bda34ab90919ee
After you activate, you will receive *another email* with your login.
After you activate, you can visit your blog here:
http://<server name>//wpmu/user3/
-------------------
9) I click activate url and it says:
-----------------------
All set!
Username:
user3
Password:
<some passowrd>
View your site or Login
-----------------------
THE PROBLEM STARTS HERE!
10) When I click on "View your site" link (as I see "View your site or Login" in step 9) it takes me to http://<server name>/wpmu/user3/ and ends with error "The page cannot be found"
If I click on Login link it takes me to http://<server name>/wpmu/user3/wp-login.php and page with "The directory name is invalid." message is displayed rest is classic white page....
Can anyone help me please? I have been trying to fix it since last 3 days and scanned all forum posts (few related but of no help)....
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all :)
