Hi there!,
I'm trying to convert my WP installation (believe it's 3.2) on my development machine to support multiple blogs using the same installation/database. I think this is called Network or Multi User.
I'm pretty new to WP. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I used the instructions given in the 'Create a Network of WordPress Sites' document.
1) I created a blogs.dir directory at Applications/MAMP/htdocs/blog/wp-content/blogs.dir and made it writeable.
2) Added the following to wp-config.php
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
$base = '/blog/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'localhost' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/blog/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
3) Added the following lines to a new .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
When I logged in I got a message that 'One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.' I added define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true); to the wp-config.php.
When I run the 'Repair Database' option, I get the following errors:
I see the following errors:
wp_1_posts: Table 'wordpress.wp_1_posts' doesn't exist
wp_1_comments: Table 'wordpress.wp_1_comments' doesn't exist
