did you install it in the /blog/ subdirectory?

also have you looked at line four in index that its referring to?

no, i create a subdomain for my domain: http://www.illi-pro.com

I want to install it in a subdomain and the members will have a subdirectory link like:

http://blogs.illi-pro.com/sombra
..

also have you looked at line four in index that its referring to?

what do you mean?

My index.php is:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

Are all the MU files in http://blogs.illi-pro.com ?

yes.. i upload all the folder and installed it :S

"failed to open stream: No such file or directory in"...

That's the problem. Either by permission, or location, it can't find and include the necessary file(s).

Your best bet would be to completely wipe all the files (don't forget "hidden" files, meaning .htaccess), empty the database, and try it again. Paying very close attention to the install.

Also, make sure the modification was made to your vhost in apache's configuration file for the directory section.

vhost in apache's

what's that? how i do it?

You shouldn't be installing MU if you don't know what virtual hosts are, it's too advanced for you sorry :(.

:(! Well.. where i can find a guide about this? i want to learn :)

Well let me pick this up since I am technically proficient enough and willing to deal with your snobbery. I am having the same issue, as well as a related problem using permalinks. I have set a vhost on an intranet.

I am running a SuSE v10.1 Enterprise server.

My vhost (I am leaving the options at a much more open state than I normally would just for testing):

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webadmin@mydomain.com
    ServerName blog.mydomain.com

    DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/blog

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/blog.mydomain.com-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/blog.mydomain.com-access_log combined

    HostnameLookups Off
    UseCanonicalName Off
    ServerSignature On

    Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/cgi-bin"

    <Directory "/srv/www/cgi-bin">
	AllowOverride None
	Options +ExecCGI -Includes
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/blog">

	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    	AllowOverride None
    	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

My wp-config.php:

define('VHOST', 'no');
$base = '/';

So I should have users in subdirectories as in http://blog.mydomain.com/rreuss. New users can register and their is created fine. The URL as listd above (which they get redirected to) does not work - I get a 404 error. My error log shows:

[Fri Jun 27 07:18:29 2008] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XX.XX] File does not exist: /srv/www/vhosts/blog/super-rr, referer: http://blog.mydomain.com/wp-admin/wpmu-blogs.php?action=editblog&id=3

My htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

Now the related issue (I think it is) is that if I use any permalink option besides the defalt I get 404 errors

[Fri Jun 27 07:10:28 2008] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XX.XX] File does not exist: /srv/www/vhosts/blog/blog
[Fri Jun 27 07:10:30 2008] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XX.XX] File does not exist: /srv/www/vhosts/blog/blog

I suspect I have soemthing misconfigured in the Rewritebase or the actul rule, but this stuff can be kind of voodoo, when you ahve three things working on the same URL.

Any advice?

First problem I see, is a missed step in the readme:

2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this line
"AllowOverride None"
and change it to
"AllowOverride FileInfo Options"

"Any advice?"

- Never dip your pen in company ink.

- Don't stare at the sun too long.

- Snide remarks about snobbery when in need of help isn't the best way to get it.

Thanks for the info - the overide did the trick. I was under the impression that was only if you were using define('VHOST', 'yes');

And you have to admit the comment my MrBrian was pretty snobbish.

You're welcome.

IRT Brian's comment. Not really. Blunt, but sometimes that's what it takes. MU just isn't for everybody, and at times it's best to be upfront about it.

And honestly if someone's posting such things, it shows they haven't even read the readme.

hi
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home/dentatur/public_html/blog/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php on line 14
what is this can you help me?

that means that for some reason wp-blog-header.php cannot find the wp function which is defined in wp-includes/wp-functions.php.

I suspect you've got a path messed up somewhere or a file missing

thank you

I recently upgraded my site to Wordpress Mu 2.7 and buddypress. http://sportsblognet.com and everything was working fine. Now I get an Internal 500 error (or blank white screen) whenever someone sign's up and tries to use their wp-activate key that is sent to them in the email.

Needless to say, now people cannot complete their activation.

It worked fine yesterday (I activated a few accounts myself), but now today, the wp-activate doesn't work. And I didn't install any new plugins, or do anything different that I can think of.

Here's an example:

http://sportsblognet.com/wp-activate.php?key=603926e873b6da0f

Solved it...it was a problem with plugins in the mu directory causing the script to hang
