   Hi.

   There were no errors during installation, and the Superadmin and main blog work. However, if I create a site, it won't work. If the site's admin logs in, wordpress will redirect them to some site which doesn't exist. I can manually change properties of the site as Superadmin to make it work, but I'm guessing I shouldn't have to.

   What's happening:
   1. Install WP
   2. Install subdomain multisite
   3. Create a site ("bob" in this case, user is "alice") in the Superadmin's site panel
   4. Log in as alice. I am then redirected to http://www.lambyte.comlambyte_com_2bob, (which is my domain + wordpress's database + site name) which does my browser tells me does not exist.
   5. Clear my cookies and whatnot so that I can login as Superadmin
   6. In the sites panel, edit the bob site's path to /bob/. Now everything works!

   Evidence:
   I am using Dreamhost.
   Subdomain install of Multisite.
   My database name is lambyte_com_2

   Possibly relevant info from Superadmin Sites panel:
   

   Editing Site - http://www.lambyte.comlambyte_com_2bob
   
   Site info (wp_blogs)
   ---
   Domain: http://
   [lambyte.com]
   
   Path: [lambyte_com_2bob]
   
   ...
   
   Site options (wp_y2fek1_3_options)
   ---
   
   Siteurl: [http://www.lambyte.comlambyte_com_2bob/]
   ...
   Home: [http://www.lambyte.comlambyte_com_2bob/]

   Oh dream host... Check your WP-config file for something like a base define for that eXtra domain name.

   I appreciate your trying to help, but I don't understand. There are a couple lines which kind of fit that description:

   wp-config.php
   

   //Multisites install
   ...
   $base = '/';
   ...
   /* Stop editing */
   ...
   $base = DB_NAME;

   I'm guessing you mean by "extra" that the second $base = should be removed. Is that it?

   Yeah, comment out that extra Base.

   Change it to // $base = DB_NAME;

   Sorry, I couldn't find my notes on that last night!
