Wordpress MU

To get WordPress MU installed, and running you will have to set proper file permissions, to get access to the files, and you will have to activate the mod_rewrite.so Apache module. Setting the file permissions is precisely explained during the installation process, and activating mod_rewrite.so is achieved by adding the following line to the top of either your apache2.conf or httpd.conf file: LoadModule rewrite_module       /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so Notice that the LoadModule option is rewrite_module, and not mod_rewrite.so. Believe me, it took a bunch of error messages to realize the proper formatting necessary to get things cookin. In the most recent version of Apache2 provided by the Ubuntu Feisty Server repositories, the above line will reference the module, in its correct location, and successfully enable url rewriting Apache functions. As for dependencies, sendmail sudo apt-get install sendmail Also I changed a couple of things in the wpmu-functions.php file to suite my taste. At first the email function was not working properly, then I installed sendmail, and had to modify the following line: $message_headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0n” . “From: “{$from_name}” <{$admin_email}>n” . “Content-Type: text/plain; charset=”" . get_option(‘blog_charset’) . “”n”; $message_headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0n” . “From: {$admin_email}n” . “Content-Type: text/plain; charset=”" . get_option(‘blog_charset’) . “”n”; Notice that I remove the $from_name, and the brackets around the $admin_email.
