Fun with WordPress MU

I was playing around with several web applications recently, due to interest + project requirement. One of the application that I installed was WordPress MU.

It is surely a sweet program. If you do everything right, it really only takes 2 minutes.

But I spent a few hours. This is because:

1. I am trying out a new hosting account. I host this website in iPowerWeb. The ‘localhost’ should be changed to ‘username.ipowermysql.com’.

(2. My friend Rendy saved my time with finding out that iPowerWeb have CGI disabled by default. Hence I enabled it before I did anything. Thanks Rendy. If I have read his blog before I install, I would have saved time on point 1 above, too.)

3. That is actually a very stupid one. After I uploaded everything, I created a wp-config.php file with my database information in it. And I got an error ‘No WPMU site defined on this host’. I google’d a lot and found that I actually should not create this file. The installation process would create the necessary files automatically.

Surely will have more fun when I play around with it even more.
