WordPress Network server requirements?

    I tried to install and set up a WordPress Network this evening. After following the instructions and logging in as the admin, the Network link is not there. I tried going directly to /wp-admin/network/ and get the message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

    I’m really not sure what to do next.

    I saw somewhere that someone had this problem because their web host didn’t support WordPress networks, so I thought I’d ask my network administrator but I couldn’t find the system requirements. This – http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#Server_Requirements – is not particularly helpful.

    Can someone point me to the system requirements for a wordpress network or provide any other help to get this working?

    Thanks!

    If I knew *specifically* what they may have done to block access to Network Admin, then yes I would list it. But I don’t. And I haven’t been able to reproduce it. So really, I’m just giving an educated guess on where to look.

    Yes, there’s a few other threads where others have had the same issues but I don’t think any of them said exactly what the problem was.

    You could check on permissions & ownership of the /wp-admin/network/ folder.

    Did it create all the extra db tables for you?

    If it’s something in the server config, then as I stated earlier, on a shared host you won’t have access to things like the Apache configuration.

    >>You could check on permissions & ownership of the /wp-admin/network/ folder.

    The permissions of the /wp-admin/network/ folder are 755 and the owner is the the hosting account user. What should they be?

    >>Did it create all the extra db tables for you?

    Which tables are extra?

    I have pull with the network administrator. So if there are any configuration changes needed, I can make them happen as long as they won’t have a significant impact on the other accounts on the server.

    Can you contact you privately, give you the account info and have you take a look?

    I can’t, sorry.

    Same as the other WordPress folders.

    . So if there are any configuration changes needed, I can make them happen as long as they won’t have a significant impact on the other accounts on the server.

    As I said above – if I knew exactly what was causing and knew exactly what to tell you to fix it, I would. 😉

    All of those tables exist except wp_sitecategories
