    Ok so I have installed the latest version of WPMU and Buddy press. The main page is working fine when I try to setup a new account I get a 404 error. And oddly enough when I am logged in as admin and click on my name to see my profile I get a 404 error. Any thoughts?

    Here is one more thing I just noticed. My site is hosted on 1&1 on a developer account. I took a look at my .htaccess file which currently has the

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    Command to force the server to use php5. When I add the text from the htaccess.dist

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase BASE/

    #uploaded files

    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*

    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$

    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

    RewriteRule . – [L]

    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]

    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]

    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    <IfModule mod_security.c>

    <Files async-upload.php>

    SecFilterEngine Off

    SecFilterScanPOST Off

    </Files>

    </IfModule>

    I get 500 errors. Any insights?

    Make sure you have the bpmember theme in the proper place: /wp-content/bp-themes/

    Then, make sure you have it selected in WPMU’s backend by navigating to the BuddyPress menu grouping like this:

    BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages

    Choose the “BuddyPress Default Member Theme”.

    I took a look at my .htaccess file which currently has the

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    Command to force the server to use php5. When I add the text from the htaccess.dist

    Also, concerning the .htaccess file. It will automatically be created for you during the WPMU install. So, if you went to it and did not see anything, then something went wrong with the install. Why did you have to add the text from htaccess.dist to your .htaccess file?

    First off Jeff thanks for the help!

    The themes are in the correct place as you have indicated above. The BPHome theme is located in the wp-content/themes directory to feed the main site.

    When I did the install it didnt produce a .htaccess file. So I tried creating my own. Does this provide any insight?

    Well, if you don’t touch the htaccess.dist, it should create the .htaccess file. It is an invisible file, so if you do not have your file browser set to view hidden files, you will not see it.

    Also, if as you’ve said you did a root install of WPMU, then this line should be:

    RewriteBase /

    and not:

    RewriteBase BASE/

    I can see hidden files so thats not the issue.

    But, Jeff your other solution fixed everything perfectly. Thanks for the assistance!
