    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
