Word Press MU Installation Woes

February 19, 2009 by carmelyne

I've been playing around with Word Press MU and encountered some issues during the installation.

Till I finally figured out the fix:

Dont manually create a .htaccess file and dont manually create a wp-config.php file either.
Just make sure you create a DB. Know the db name/db user /db password. Make sure your user has the proper permissions for the db you created.
CHMOD 777 on "public" and "wp-contents" if the site root is where you uploaded your base files.
Go to http://yourdomain.com/wp-contents/install.php
Go ahead and click button to create config file.
Then just plug in the information needed.
Once set up CHMOD 755 "public" and "wp-contents"

That's all you need to set up WPMU. Hope that helps someone else.
