my solution is:
update domain, path field on wp_site table are following: domain=”www.domain.com/subpath”, path=”/”.

and everything works fine.

Andrew – a similar problem exists with WordPress. If a user of WordPress wants to edit their template files via the backend they must edit php files – those files have to be owned by the webserver, just like WPMU template files.
In a WPMU install, the directories that are world writeable (or preferably owned by the webserver) only hold Smarty code/html or images, no PHP. Right now of course there’s no advantage as Smarty has to be running in secure mode and by default that’s not enabled.

I’m considering Wordpress MU as an engine for a weblogging site, and so far like what I see (LOVE Wordpress for single users, eager to make this critter run). My main concern is one of security. Since Wordpress MU seems to require working and sub-directories with CHMOD 777 access, I’m nervous about installing the system in such an exposed way. My bones tell me never to allow permissions beyond 755 (and even them, I’m skittish).

Are there any plans or efforts to make the installation and function more secure? Should I work with my web host provider to follow the CHOWN path instead? Just wondering if others have resolved this issue as of yet.

I’m having the problem concerning this:
‘wp_’.$wpblog.’_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2′ or ‘mylogin_
For the line: $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2′ or ‘mylogin_’

I’ve changed it and still get the same problems.

Hope this can be of help.

I have now made a successful installation of MU.
The first installation did not go well, and had to contact my webhost to inquire about the mod_rewrite and allowoverride all settings in server configuration.

After they changed some “settings” I was able to get the installation working.

Here are the changes needed:
“mod_rewrite” must be enabled for your webspace.
“allowoverride all” must be enabled for you webspace.
And additionally your webhost must enable your installation script to detect the FULL SERVER PATH, which look something like /home/virtual/site93/fst/var/www/html/

If the installation script only detect the last part of it, like /var/www/html/ then you may get problems.

This may work for some, not for others. Just hope sharing my information can help someone with similar server environment

Hello Donncha

I have installed MU, but have problems getting it to work properly.
My webhost admin state that mod_rewrite is activated, but still I have problems.
I have had a look at the server configuration via phpinfo.php, and see that “Virtual Directory Support” is disabled. Can this be the reason I can not get .htaccess redirects to work properly?

I DON’T KNOW WHO ASK FOR IT, IF YOU DON’T BE, EXCUSEME.

I reduced wordpressmu’s last version and I had the following problems in the installation:

1. installation, second step:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '/wpmu_categories ( cat_ID int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment, c]
CREATE TABLE wp_/wpmu_categories ( cat_ID int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment, cat_name varchar(55) NOT NULL default ”, category_nicename varchar(200) NOT NULL default ”, category_description text NOT NUL…

That I repaired changing the line: $table_prefix = ‘wp_’.$wpblog.’_'; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2′ or ‘mylogin_

For the line: $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2′ or ‘mylogin_’

2.When visit my new blog:
Warning: Smarty error: problem writing temporary file ‘/feab3f7d6d91316820c5a7de39669cec/%%200/%%2001463753/42142cbbaa7e8′ in /home/site/public_html/wpmu/Smarty.class.php on line 1042
Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: “index.html” in /home/site/public_html/wpmu/Smarty.class.php on line 1042

That I can not repair but that such time be bound up with the following

3. at the section UPLOAD, admin, indicates me:
It doesn’t look like you can use the file upload feature at this time because the directory you have specified (/home/site/public_html/wpmu/./wp-content/blogs/wpmu/images) doesn’t appear to be writable by WordPress. Check the permissions on the directory and for typos.

the fact that neither I know of what handles itself.

CAN YOU GIVEME ANY ORIENTATION WHERE LOOKING FOR THE ERROR Or THE SOLUTION IF you RIGHT NOW HAVE IT AVAILABLE?

THANKS
