In case anybody else ran into this (searched, couldn't find any posts) ----

After upgrading to WPMU 2.6 this morning, I was hit with 500 errors for the main site & wp-admin directories. Turned out to be a problem with the htaccess distribution.

Changed:
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase BASE/
```
to:
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
```
Hope this can help somebody out, thanks again all the others out there that have given me a hand.

Thanks!!

This worked for me with an install of 2.7 using XAMPP on a Win2K3 box. I used sub-driectories as I couln't get sub-domains to work (might have been something to do with .htaccess? Not sure and not about to uninstall just to find out).

It was the final fix needed to get the whole thing working. Big "whew!"
