WP3 beta fails after enabling network

[OiPenguin]

After enabling the network feature (MU) according to the instructions (​http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Andrea/Create_A_Network) pages in the admin fails to load completely. I've attached a screenshot from Firefox. Opera produces the same error. I've tested on Ubuntu 10.04 beta running Apache.

The image depicts the page as printed from bottom up. A button to confirm changes and probably some more settings are missing.

A few questions/tasks for you:

• Did you put the required code for wp-config.php above the "That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging." line?
• Can you enable WP_DEBUG by placing define('WP_DEBUG', true); in wp-config.php above that same line?

I see the rest of the page without problem. If you do not see any errors printed please try checking your apache error logs.

Try dropping the network tables and re-enabling the network from scratch. That screenshot looks like it picked up an existing network install that was set up a while back in the alpha.

I missed this part of the instruction. After placing the required code above the "That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging." line the page loads completely.

However, I don't succeed in creating new sites despite double (or triple) checking that my settings are correct according to ​http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Andrea/Create_A_Network. I do however suspect that the error is related to a local issue. Hence, this report should probably be classified as resolved?

Apologize for the slow reply, I'd forgotten to register my e-mail address.

Yours,

What do you mean by that? How are they not successful?

[OiPenguin]

I'm afraid I'm unable to elaborate any further. If you could tell me how to trouble shoot or what logs to investigate I'll do my best to contribute.

My issue: When attempting to create site /localdomain/wp3/test2 with email tes2@… the page loads forever. When I go the Users the user test2 is created, as is the site /test2 however when trying to access backend (../test2/wp-admin) the page is non-existent and nothing is created in /var/www/wp3/wp-content/blogs.dir

Yours,

This is most likely something with your server config. The uploaded media folder isn't created when you create a site. That's done when the first media item is uploaded.

Do you have rewrites enabled on you vhost entry?

[OiPenguin]

I believe I have enabled rewrites, but the problem persist. However, I'd rather attribute the error to misconfiguration on my part rather than a bug in Wordpress. I suggest changing the status to resolve as invalid.
