This doesn’t make much sense to me. I copied ‘n pasted some PHP code (at the bottom) from /wp-admin/network/site-new.php and it worked, without any output. I looked at the network admin interface, and it looked like everything was working. So I try to visit the site, and that’s when I get a 404. Anyone know a work around? Here’s the code (minus some details):
<?php
/* I have omitted the values of $domain, $sPath, $title, and $uuid.
* For those who don't understand, $domain is the domain of the site (e.g. wordpress.org ),
* $sPath is the new site's path, $title is for the website's title,
* and $uuid is the user's ID from the DB. This was made for the sub-dir install. If you have the sub-domain install, then this script is not what you want.
*/
require_once( 'wp-config.php' );
require_once( 'wp-includes/ms-blogs.php' );
require_once( 'wp-includes/functions.php' );
require_once( 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php' );
require_once( 'wp-includes/ms-functions.php' );
wpmu_create_blog( $domain, $sPath, $title, intval( $uuid ), array( 'public' => 1 ) );
?>
I found the main problem with the old code – my install was corrupt. I reinstalled WP (this time, I’m sure it’s NOT corrupt.), and the new site that was created told me
Error establishing a database connection
so I re-wrote the code (new code at the bottom). Just like the script before, everything worked, until I tried to view the site (and just like before, it told me it couldn’t connect to the DB). I took a look at the DB, and noticed that all of my other sites had their own tables (in the format of (my prefix)_(site’s ID)_options, (my prefix)_(site’s ID)_posts, etc.), but the site I made with this script didn’t have it’s own tables with it’s ID. So, my problem now is that WP won’t make tables for my new site.
<?php
/* I have omitted the values of $title, $newSitePath, and $email.
* If my WP installation was at example.com/mystuff and I wanted to make example.com/mystuff/something
* and I wanted to assign administration rights to xyz@example.com then I'd type in:
* $email = 'james@jamescostian.com';
* $newSitePath = 'something';
* I also need to add in a definition for $title. If I wanted to give this site the title "Randomness" then I'd type in:
* $title = 'Randomness';
* This was made for the sub-dir install.
* If you have the sub-domain install, then go to:
* wp-admin/network/site-new.php
* and use it to figure out how to make your own script.

Did you have any luck with this? I had the same problem and found that requiring wp-admin/network/admin.php does the trick. However, that requires an admin to be logged in, which is not really what I wanted.
alright so the following 2 lines added in the require block made it work for me:
wp_set_current_user(0,"wp_admin"); //pretend it is the network admin doing this, since regular user can't
require_once('wp-admin/includes/admin.php'); //load the prefixes for database tables
I tried placing that code at the end of my current require_once section, and it didn’t work for me. Could you tell me what code you used (so that I know the order of everything)?
