Thanks for this excellent guide!!!!! I can’t believe how wrong the WordPress MU Codex instructions are for installation, when it’s really quite simple. Brava!

And you’re right – even THIS girl could do it.

@ Aaron:

I don’t know if you read this but hopefully..
This error is because a connection to the database was not possible. Check your host, database, username and password. And make sure you have permissions.
I made a local installation and had to point out my sock.tmp to make it work. I.e. Host: localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock

Hope this helps!

thanks. this guide was really helpful – do you know of any guides on what to do after the install – what are the things I need to know about when setting up my first wordpressmu blog. I am new to WPMU and feeling a little lost.

Helpful and useful post – thanks.

I remember the days of having to input all the variables by hand. Thank God those days are over now (for the most part) when installing scripts on websites.

HI Sarah,

Thanks for the guide. I found it invaluable.

I had the same issue as Aaron with the config file. I was installing WPMU as a subfolder with another single WP running called http://www.domesticallyemployed.com. I found this WPMU hack did the trick:

The permissions are set to 755 and I am not putting it directly on the root. I am putting it on a sub-directory.

Thanks for your quick response to my initial question! :-)

Did you change the write permissions on the folder housing your instllation? Make sure to set them to 777 or 755. Are you putting it directly on the root?
