   Hi,

   I had originaly my Site using "regular" WP 3.0, and transformed into Multisite.

   Now i want to create a secondary site under SuperAdmin/Sites and when I create a new site i can not access it.

   My original site is running OK
   http://revistadepunta.com/

   but my new site shows me "Error establishing a database connection"
   http://revistadepunta.com/test/

   Also when I press the "Visit" link under SuperAdmin/Sites it drives me to http://revistadepunta.com/wp-admin/ms-sites.php?updated=true&action=add-blog instead of http://revistadepunta.com/test/

   Any idea ??
   Thanks

   And you went through all the create a network steps as outlined in the codex?
   And you turned off plugins?

   Hi Andrea,

   Yes, i went all the steps:

   1) I've first "moved" mi WP installation to root directory since i had ir under /wordpress/ directory

   2) i've changed my wordpress directory to match my site URL

   3) disabled plugins

   4) added define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); to wp-config

   5) run Tools/Network install

   6) Added lines to wp-config & .httaccess

   7) enabled plugins

   8) added a new site

   The most surprising point is that anoying thing is that on my secondary site (http://revistadepunta.com/test/) it shows me "Error establishing a database connection" and the root site (http://revistadepunta.com) rusn OK

   i have some experience installing multisite and WPMU, but i haven't seen this kind of error before.

   thanks !

   Yeah, with the network feature built in now, getting the db error shouldn't ever happen. because you're already installed, you know?

   I gotta go pick the brain of one of the devs.

   If I go to http://revistadepunta.com/test/wp-admin/

   I get this:

   Una tabla o más de la base de dato no están disponibles. La base de datos debe ser reparada.

   Have you tried a repair of the database?

   i think is something with plugins
   i've disabled all plugins, created a new site (http://revistadepunta.com/test2/) and worked

   I think my steps 7 & 8 should be donde in the oposite way

   7) add a new site

   8) enable plugins

   thanks,

    Yep, then it was likely a plugin.

    yeah!

    2 plugins were causing the problem when "Network activation" was applied:

    All in One SEO Pack: http://semperfiwebdesign.com/

    Banner Rotator: http://tribulant.com/products/view/2/wordpress-banner-rotator-plugin

    Thanks !

    It seems like I am having the same error.

    But I do not have any plugins activated.

    I am running WordPress 3.0

    My main site works great: blogs.mobilitysales.com
    I have 1 secondary site that works great: blogs.mobilitysales.com/rapid-city-sd

    Now when I attempt to create a 2nd secondary site, I get the same symtoms as above.

    When I try a database repair for the secondary site it doesn't work.
    wp_11_posts: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_posts' doesn't exist
    wp_11_comments: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_comments' doesn't exist
    wp_11_links: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_links' doesn't exist
    wp_11_options: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_options' doesn't exist
    wp_11_postmeta: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_postmeta' doesn't exist
    wp_11_terms: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_terms' doesn't exist
    wp_11_term_taxonomy: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_term_taxonomy' doesn't exist
    wp_11_term_relationships: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_term_relationships' doesn't exist
    wp_11_commentmeta: Table 'wordpress-mu.wp_11_commentmeta' doesn't exist
    wp_sitemeta: 2 clients are using or haven't closed the table properly

    Any suggestions would be great!

    try to uncomment define( 'MULTISITE', true );
    try to run /wp-admin/ms-upgrade-network.php ,
    try to set english interface .

    I am now having the same issue.

    I've already tried removing all plugins and mu-plugins.

    I've tried creating the new site from admin, and by registering it as a user.

    I've set up the english interface.

    But the result is always the same, The blog gets created as well as the user, but not all the tables get to the database so the error stablishing connection message appears.

    What else can I try?

    The blog gets created as well as the user, but not all the tables get to the database so the error stablishing connection message appears.

    Check that the SQL id you're using has permissions to create new tables in your database. You may need to ask your host to check on that for you.

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    I've checked and it's currently: (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES) for the user accesing the database.

    Any other Ideas?

    I found, in: http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_a_WordPress_Network

    Also, on very few upgrades from WordPressMU to 3.0 and up, a small number of users experienced a problem with creating new sites and receiving errors. This turned out to be a database collation issue"

    Is there any more info on this one? I am using WordPress MU since version 1.5 if I remember well. And upgraded to 3.0

    Seems like Defensio is preventing the creation of the tables when adding a new site.

    It would be great if an exception could be raised when something like this happens.

    It's almost impossible to debug atm. We just have to turn off plugins one by one, but it's not feasible in production.

    @Oliver - you'll have to start a new thread with your own specific issues.

    Hello all,

    I've got the same problem om http://www.driverszone.co.uk
    The site is working (although still under construction) and blog creation was working. until one day, suddenly when creating a test blog, i got database error. and again when creating a another test blog.
    

    I tried repairing it and got this code to copy paste in here:
    wp_usermeta: 1 client is using or hasn't closed the table properly
    wp_19_posts: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_posts' doesn't exist
    wp_19_comments: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_comments' doesn't exist
    wp_19_links: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_links' doesn't exist
    wp_19_options: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_options' doesn't exist
    wp_19_postmeta: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_postmeta' doesn't exist
    wp_19_terms: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_terms' doesn't exist
    wp_19_term_taxonomy: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_term_taxonomy' doesn't exist
    wp_19_term_relationships: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_term_relationships' doesn't exist
    wp_19_commentmeta: Table 'driversz_engine.wp_19_commentmeta' doesn't exist
    wp_sitemeta: 1 client is using or hasn't closed the table properly

    How can this be fixed please :)

    I had the same problem connecting to database for all sub domain sites, the fix came from removing www. from the main site url in WP admin, but also switching off www. prefix in my domain configuration panel on the server (plesk), then it all worked fine.

    We solved this.

    First of all the problem was with databases connection
    my main concern was that privileges will be the problem

    I granted all privileges but didn't work

    I backed up all the website, started debugging, creating new db user, and granted him the priviliages. db error went away, but mu refused to work.

    when added new user in wp-config.php I used the standard pattern of config file instead of spanish comments, wpmu was disabled there, and I enabled that.

    It worked :)

    @Wiki Chaves thanks for the simple fix, I disabled plugins, then created sites, and then re-enabled plugins. I didn't get the "Error establishing a database connection" after that. Thanks!
