Hmm I see. I’m gonna find a way to do that automatically because I have over 2000 subscribers, I can’t add one by one.

Before install your config.php you should add just one line to it:

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

Then you go to admin, Tools > Network, choose if you want the subblog as subdomains or subfolders, add the other lines to yout config.php and edit the .htaccess file.

I chose to use subfolders and my config.php looks like this:

/* WP MULTI USER */
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'VHOST', 'no' );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'my.domain.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

I didn’t see an answer to Barmaid’s Q4. When she says “same question for visitors. Will they have to register per blog or does their user info work across all wp blogs?”

Because I’m having the same question. I see via phpmyadmin that there’s only one wp_users but when I’m logged as an author from a subblog, the main blog doesn’t seem to recognize that user.

@pswheeler did you have any luck?

One last question, is it possible to allow a user to post just under one category?

I’m an idiot. I forgot to add the first line on the config.php
define( 'MULTISITE', true );

When I read it I thought it was the same as “define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);” so I skipped.

I’m on Super Admin!

Thanks for your help!

Yeah I know about the vhost. I just pointed it out because this was causing the WP to “crash”.

The db user’s pass has more than 6 chars and 2 tables were created I believe. wp_blogs and wp_blog_versions. Should’ve been more? And from what I know the db user can’t use drop.

Thanks

Just one small correction, VHOST was set to NO. I changed to see if it would work. It didn’t.

I did just like it says:

/** MULTI USER! */
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define('VHOST', 'no');
$base = '/';
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'my.domain.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);

But when I refresh the admin, it says the db needs to be repaired, when I comment the VHOST line, it goes back to normal but nothing happens.

But it only works when I log in thru WP.

Don’t know what happened but it’s working right now. Go figure!

brian.pan: and I still got the message “PHP Single Sign On is almost ready. You have to Follow the instructions for it to work.” when I’m logged in on WP. but I guess this has nothing to do right?

brian.pan: unfortunately they were copied over correctly. I’m looking at then right now. and I just started a fresh install of both wp and phpbb running on different databases.

I was able to set the auth_method but don’t know how to test it. I registered a user from phpBB and when I logged in, nothing happened on WP’s side. And when I tried the opposite, nothing happened as well.
