    I just saw the RC build for 3.0 and decided to download it to my site and play around with it. In the root of my site I have 2.9.2 installed and working great. I created a directory called /dev/wp3 which has the RC inside it. I modified the settings like I was told in the codex but I get the error in my title. Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong?

  • I have Tools->Network, but I don’t get the Super Admin section.

    When I go to Tools-Network I get a message box that states the following:

    Warning: An existing WordPress network was detected.
    Please complete the configuration steps. To create a new network, you will need to empty or remove the network database tables.

    In my database I have tables like this:
    wp_

    What should I do?

    I’m pretty sure you don’t need to worry about the warning. Just finish the config steps.

    @maddtechwf it probably had more to do with two separate installs in one database. Start with a clean empty db, install WP, then do the network enabling steps.

    I think I need to start over too. I’ve got two instances installed on my server. How to uninstall WP on FreeBSD? Is anything else needed besides removing the DB tables and emptying the directories? My goal is to install WP MU.

    I also had this problem: “”An existing WordPress network was detected”

    “Warning” lift!
    Make sure that the code added in wp-config.php in the / * That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. * / In front.

    Examples:

    define (‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

    define (‘MULTISITE’, true);
    define (‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
    $ Base = ‘/’;
    define (‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘pnuo.com’);
    define (‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
    define (‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
    define (‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
    / * That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. * /

    Same problem. Mine also turned out to be the wp-config.php file.

    In my case I had moved the abs path lines off the bottom and above the allow multi-site lines, not thinking it mattered. I put them back to the bottom and it now works.

    So be careful to start with a wp-config-sample.php and add the lines exactly as instructed and in exactly the right spot (just above happy blogging).

    I had this mistake too. And the error was that I didnt copy new wp-config.php.

    WWWWAAAAAoooOOO very nice useful multisite feature that wordpress give us.. very nice & make me happy that i m a wordpress designer ??
