@andrea – do you mean have I created a subdomain in my website configuration?

@tim
This is the content of the .htaccess.
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

access is set to 777

Where to now – checking with ISP re @andrea suggestion

Ah, thanks to my ISP (host4profit.com) all is solved. Apparently I needed access to a /temp folder on the system.

removed wordpress import, changed/checked folder permissions wpcontent/uploads/ all set at 777, reinstalled wordpress import. Still nothing works – same error.
Help, please

Well, read folder for file, but I am still stuck for a folder name

@govpatel – your fix solved the case. Thank you.
Your website looks very helpful, also

@jamal.
Here is another puzzle. After all that I did, I then found WP did not create a .htaccess file. I then created that file with the entries from a working version created by WP install on another site setup, but still no joy.

@drcherry. The codex refers to MU, and just putting define(MULTISITE) instruction into a single blog wp-config.php did not work for me. There is no way of generating the additional DB tables as far as my experience went.
If you get a different result aka-fixed with network, please drop a note back as I will be really interested in your method.
Many thanks

Hi Jamal.
I had actually run all the processes of install. The database tables were dropped when I cleared out the single blog install.
With the install of the network version there should be some 15 or so tables in the database. Currently there are 11.

When I changed the installation from single to network I :
1. Deleted all files on the wp folder site.
2. Dropped the tables in the database.
3. Uploading the WP 3.1.1 files again.
4. Changed the wp-config.php as above.
5. Renamed the .htaccess file.
6.Proceeded to run the install.
Hence my puzzle. The WP should have installed as a network install.

@andrea – Tried the following:
1. Uploaded wp-admin and wp-includes – overwrite any older file. Figured thai would ensure any missing file would be picked up with minimal potential to disrupt the other files.
result: Not able to click thu to network admin
2. Renamed wp-content/plugins to plugins-old. Mew directory “plugins” created.
Result: No plugins on the blog site, still not able to click through to admin.

Did check wp-admin/network – folder has files.
Ummm – I am a bit lost for what to try next.

@andrea. Turned off plugins – had to refresh as previous post to see deactivated.
Still have redirect problem – perhaps I missed a file in the upload of the WP 3.1 files???

In a blink, back again – this may be something to do with my settings, but:
I now can access the network admin by typing in the url /wp-admin/network/index.php?, but I cannot access it by simply clicking on either of the two links at the top of the page
1= “Thank you for Updating! Please visit the Update Network page to update all your sites.”
2= “Network Admin”
I get a re-direct error. Checked cookies settings – Accept 1st party, prompt for 3rd party, accept session cookies, override auto cookie handling.
Clicking the admin link top of the Network page redirects to the non-network admin page /wp-admin every time

Also I am finding redirect failures when I do any of the following:

1. Try to activate a plugin in wp-admin.
2. Try to activate a plugin in wp-admin/network
3. Try to add a new plugin in wp-admin/network

Now here is a puzzle – and maybe a clue??
When I am in wp-admin/network and go to activate a plugin I get the redirect fault, but I then go to wp-admin area and find the plugin activated…..
So back to wp-admin/network, activate another plugin, and then refresh the /network page – viola – the plugin shows as activated for the network.
Sorry to keep bothering you all. It’s a problem of redirects not working it seems.

Hi Andrea, you are a STAR!
Maybe there was a bit of cache or such not clearing, but the manual type-in worked a treat. – and I thought life was just a “cut and paste” process. Lesson learned.
Again, a big THANK YOU.

Tried the FTP method, but no success.
I can not access /wp-admin/network/index.php? – thought I could but after the FTP job I checked and it won’t accept my password – doesn’t say it is wrong, just no go.
Then I tried to reset the password – page would not redirect – not sure just what is going on.
Still have the problem of no network admin.

HI, have a similar problem – running 3.1, network upgrade, with subdomains – setup on root.
I cannot see my network admin area post upgrade, and when I click the link in “Thank you for Updating! Please visit the Update Network page to update all your sites.” I get a message that the page did not re-direct properly.
Plugins disabled.
Any ideas?
