   I am using 2.8.5 WordPress I tried to install WordPress MU in root folder with my WordPress and in my subdomain without WordPress. If I use wp-config-sample.php during install then installation didn't found any config file or if I use wp-config.php file then it giving me error $base should be like "/" or "/blogs/"

   Read ME file not helping in a proper way.

   anyone can tell what is the installation procedure?

   you can't have a config file a directory down from where you install MU - it won't let you install.
   You can temporarily rename the wordpress wp-config.php - then do the MU install - then rename it back.

   Please take any further questions to the MU forums.

   Thanks for your reply. Installation process here "http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU" is not helpful. I uploaded my WordPress MU at blank subdomain.

   If I dont change config file name then installation page giving me this "There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started." error

   When I change config file name to wp-config.php then installation page giving me this "Problem in wp-config.php - $base is set to BASE when it should be the path like "/" or "/blogs/"! Please fix it!" error

   My simple requirment is I want to install WordPress MU with my Wordpress 2.8.5. I wordpress Installed in http://www.xyz.com folder and I want to install WordPress MU at http://blogs.xyz.com is that possible or not?

   thanks

   is that possible or not?

   yes
   you must rename the wp-config.php in your root temporarily
   do not rename the MU wp-config.php you have created
   then run the installer
   http://blogs.xyz.com/index.php
   fill out the web form

   take this to MU forums

   Thanks a lot. WP-MU install at my subdomain http://blogs.xyz.com. The installation process which you told me not mentioned in Read Me file.

   I am already running my WP blogs at http://www.xyz.com. I was thinking that after the WP-MU installation at http://blogs.xyz.com my users which already register with http://www.xyz.com (already WP 2.8.5 running blog) will be able to access http://blogs.xyz.com (WP-MU) with their same user name and password but it seems totally different two bloging platforms.

   I want to connect WP-MU (new) with my WP 2.8.5 (already running wordpress) where my register user can assess both WP-MU and WP 2.8.5 with same login name and pwsswords.

   Do I need to install WP-MU in root directory with my WP 2.8.5 http://www.xyz.com or WP-MU will work in subdomain with my root directory?

   or

   Do I need to remove WP 2.8.5 and install WP-MU in my root direcotry http://www.xyz.com and transfer my previous posts from WP-2.8.5 to WP MU?

   thanks
