You are probably better off using something like Drupal which provides multi user blogs out of the box. The last time i looked at the wordpress source for multi user it looked like a terrible hack. ashok

WP-MU is one of the best blogging systems if its not the best. However, it doesnt work for the "localhost" domain, you have to use the IP or computer name. If you are installing on a linux server, it should not give you an issue. David. On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 9:10 AM, <ashok+skunkworks@parliaments.info<ashok%2Bskunkworks@parliaments.info>

Perhaps your db user does not have permissions on the mysql db used by wp ?

If you are trying to install the WPMU 2.9.1, guys here http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/16409 seem to be getting the same problem. Try installing a previous version like WPMU 2.8.6 then upgrading it to the new version.

2 things you can check 1. The wp user has sufficient rights to the database 2. You are not installing it on a database that is already set up with wordpress (the normal one). Table clashes can cause this problem If all else fails 2.8 was pretty stable. Try installing that then upgrading it On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 10:04 AM, Ashok Hariharan <ashok@parliaments.info>wrote:

Only thing is that for Non-techies (the more important crowd) wordpress is the most intuitive.... I have tried all - including apache roller Al Kags ----------------------- Author, Living Memories. “IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS Kenya, these stories belong to us all, just as the pictures in Kenya Burning document the trauma of a nation during the post-election violence.
