    I've instaled wordpressMu in a directory on my root /blogs

    when I create a new blog and I try to view it http://test.this.ro/blogs/ it redirects me to my home page.. can someone help me with this problem???

    Thanks!!

    Are you using subdomains or subdirectories? In other words will your blogs be at blog1.this.ro or will it be this.ro/blog1? What server environment are you using (E.G. LAMP, WAMP, WIIS, etc.) My guess, and this is not an expert guess by any means, is that you need to check to make sure you have wildcard hosting, and mod_rewrite installed. Then check that you have the appropriate directives specified in your apache2.conf file. These are the specific issues I ran into with my server. If you aren't using a LAMP setup then my guesses will be slightly less useful than a magic 8 ball.

    I did a little guesswork about your domain and found the following page.

    http://www.this.ro/phpinfo.php

    You probably want to get rid of that page but it will tell you what you have running so that you know what to search for on these forums.

    For the record, I did not put that page there nor did I "hack" anything. I personally would most definitely not want that page accessible to just anyone. You may want to get together with your hosting provider and ask for their help securing your box. To begin with though I would google search for articles regarding setting up a LAMP server.

    I forgot to delete that file, thanks for briging that up :P and I don't think the host provider will install an server for me...

    I changed into subdirectory mode...but I still want to know why when I enter test.this.ro/blogs it redirects me to this.ro/blogs

    oh, duh. Sorry about that.

    Did you make the changes to apache and dns as per the install instructions?
