Open this file in your browser, download and copy into your wp-inst/ folder as “wp-newblog.php”
Create the following entry in your root .htaccess file too (modify to suit your site):
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-z-]+)/wp-newblog.php(.*) /wp-inst/wp-newblog.php [L]
Call it by going to http:// example.com/main/wp-newblog.php
It’s a very simplistic script, there’s no error checking, it creates a new directory before handing over control to the WordPress install.php
Give it a whirl but when you’re finished be sure to delete it or move it out of the way!
Look what I found today!

Hiya,
Just thought I’d say that this is fantastic, I’m not that, um, good with the code though and was wondering if you could be a bit more specific about which .htaccess file & where I should put the code, I’m getting to Weblog ID:
/wp-inst/wp-newblog.php
But am then getting ‘too many redirect’ problems
(
Sorry for the bother. Maybe a copy of the .htaccess code you use might help???
Thanks again for a very cool app though!
Cheers, James

James – in the directory where “wp-inst” is you’ll find a file called “.htaccess”. Just edit that and insert the above line at line 60. Just remember to change the path to “wp-inst” to make it look like the lines above and below it in .htaccess
Hope that helps!

Well, I have tried to figure this out on my own for a few days with no success, so to the master I come.
I have set up WPMU with the registration code. The problem is when a user registers, it sends an email to them that tells them they can log in at:
http://www.host.com/wpmu/wp-inst/wp-admin
I need it to tell them they directory address, which should be something like:
http://www.host.com/wpmu/user_directory/wp-login.php
In the email code, the program supplies a variable called: $guessurl
I hope someone can help.

Crikey, you’re not going to believe this but we’ve just figured out what my ” ‘too many redirect’ ” problems are… if you put in a folder name with capital letters… it won’t work!
I’d love to be able to code a solution (and might have a go) but thought I’d leave it here for the professionals
Cheers, James
