Added one line of code to wp-config.php and broke it

    I added the “nonce…” code to the wp-config.php just as I was instructed on the dashboard of a WPMU site that I had successfully upgraded to WP 3.0.

    Then I got this message:

    “Problem in wp-config.php – $base is set to BASE when it should be the path like “/” or “/blogs/”! Please fix it!”

    I reset everything and it is still broken.

    Help.

    the site is: http://www.autobituary.net

    I chose WPMU to have individual blogs for members, will the Network function of WP 3.0 work?

    Thanks for all help!

    When you say you “reset everything” what does that mean, exactly?

    The BASE line should look like:
    $base = '/';
    unless your location is different from the norm.

    The NONCE_SALT line should not go at the bottom of the file. Put it in with all of the other similar looking key lines.

    Network works great.

    The network function in 3.o *is* what WPMU was.

    And the base line should be in the .htacess file if you started with mu, not in the config file.

    Andrea, there’s a base line in wp-config as well:

    /** MultiSite **/
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'domain.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

    And yeah, it should be something 🙂 / means your WordPress install is in domain.com, /blogs/ would mean the WordPress files are in domain.com/blogs/ and so on and so forth.
