i had the same problem with Strato and the plw123 plugin

without the plugin wpmu doesn’t work, but with it buddypress doesn’t work at all

here is what you need to do!!!!

you need to reinstall WPMU after editing a few files to force it to use the “www” prefix, and you will only be able to use sub-directories.

edit line 9 and 10 in wpmu-settings.php, just comment them out or remove them.


if( substr( $domain, 0, 4 ) == 'www.' )
$domain = substr( $domain, 4 );

then go to index-setup.php and do the same with lines 515 and 516

then go down in that same file and do the same with lines 683 to 687


if( substr( $_POST[ 'basedomain' ], 0, 4 ) == 'www.' ) {
printheader();
nowww();
continue;
}

then go down to line 696 and do the same there


$_SERVER[ 'HTTP_HOST' ] = str_replace( 'www.', '', $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_HOST' ] );

now reinstall wpmu and make sure to put the “www” in front of the domain name although it tells you not to do so. now wpmu and buddypress both work.

you can do the same thing without reinstalling, but that requires you to make the changes for the domain name manually in the database..

success!!!!!
