Hi ,

Installed Mu succesful..Blog creation succesful within Mu.Mu works perfectly alright.

Installed buddypress as per the instructions and the index page comes up.However clicking on anything on the page throws up a 404 ?

The only thing I have changed is permalinks structure and I do not have any .htaccess in my root directory.

Any help is appreciated ?

You need the .htaccess in the root of your WPMU install. If you don’t, that’s why you are getting errors. If you do, remove any changes you’ve made and change the permalinks structure in WPMU to one ofthe defaults.

If still not work, what versions of WpMU and BP have you installed – and where? What OS is your webserver on?

no .htaccess = no mu working = no bp

be sure WPMU works before installing bp

What does “lates” mean? Do you mean that you’re running the latest BP version?

If so, do you mean that you obtained BuddyPress from the big, orange Download button? Or, did you upgrade from trunk?

More questions?
1. By latest WPMU, do you mean latest public release?
2. Have you customized the theme in any way?
3. Have you tried disabling all but the BuddyPress plugins?
4. Where exactly do you have the BuddyPress plugins installed?
5. Have you tried re-uploading from scratch?

Hey there…

1)Yes latest public release from WPMU website.

2) No customization has been done as yet.

3) I have no other plugins except buddypress

4) Buddypress folders have been migrated to /wp-content/mu-plugins/

5) I tried reuploading everything from scratch.

I did some tests with .htaccess and I think it is my .htaccess in the base folder thats playing up.

Here is the sample of my .htaccess

Any idea ?

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase luckyperson.net/

#uploaded files

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

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

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

Change your rewrite base to “/” and check back.

Only reason to have that be anything else, is if your hosting WPMU inside a sub-directory off the root.

I took out 3 plugins:

Raw HTML capability

WordPress Database Backup

Smart Youtube

and everything is working smoothly.

Javajoba-

I’m glad your BuddyPress install is functioning once again.

As you have already done, one of the first places to begin troubleshooting BuddyPress issues is by deactivating plugins one at a time until the problem goes away. If it does not go away, then the issue may be BuddyPress related.
