| 15 | | 1. Download and unzip the WordPress MU package, if you haven't already. |
|---|
| 16 | | The unzipped files will be created in a directory named "wordpressmu" |
|---|
| 17 | | followed by a version number. |
|---|
| 18 | | 2. Create a database for WordPress MU on your web server, as well as a |
|---|
| 19 | | MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it. |
|---|
| 20 | | 3. Place the WordPress MU files in the desired location on your web server: |
|---|
| 21 | | * If you want to integrate WordPress MU into the root of your |
|---|
| 22 | | domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all the files and |
|---|
| 23 | | directories of the unzipped WordPress MU directory into the root |
|---|
| 24 | | directory of your web server. |
|---|
| 25 | | * If you want to have your WordPress MU installation in its own |
|---|
| 26 | | subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blogs/), |
|---|
| 27 | | rename the directory wordpressmu to the name you'd like the |
|---|
| 28 | | subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. |
|---|
| 29 | | For example if you want the WordPress MU installation in a |
|---|
| 30 | | subdirectory called "blog", you should rename the directory called |
|---|
| 31 | | "wordpressmu" to "blogs" and upload it to the root directory of your |
|---|
| 32 | | web server. |
|---|
| 33 | | 4. Make sure your install directory and the wp-contents directory are |
|---|
| 34 | | writeable by the webserver. |
|---|
| 35 | | 5. Run the WordPress MU installation script by accessing index.php |
|---|
| 36 | | in your favorite web browser. |
|---|
| 37 | | * If you installed WordPress MU in the root directory, you should |
|---|
| 38 | | visit: http://example.com/index.php |
|---|
| 39 | | * If you installed WordPress MU in its own subdirectory called |
|---|
| 40 | | blogs, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blogs/index.php |
