How to fix WordPress WPMU – There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file -

September 2, 2009 By Freelance 4 Comments

You tried to install WPMU and in one moment you go to install directory and got :

“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started.”

Solution :

1) Don’t create config.php alone.

2) Go to file wp-blog-header.php, this line searches for two possible wp-config.php files:

if ( !file_exists( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-config.php') && !file_exists( dirname( dirname(__FILE__) ) . '/wp-config.php')) {

This problem could be fixed by changing this line to:

if ( !file_exists( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-config.php') ) {

Try now !
