Can’t Create User Accounts

    My buddypress install is not letting me create new accounts. Full registration is enabled. I am able to fill out the form for a profile and it even sends out an email. But when I click on that email’s activation, it links to a “Server not Found message”

    Same thing happens with my home base. Since there is no email activation, I get the message when I click on my user name on the top right hand corner..

    Any ideas?

    By the way, I love what you guys are doing. This is going to change the world!!! :D

    Could you create accounts in MU before you added Buddypress?

    Good question…it was a new install so I never tried.

    I am at work right now and wont get a chance until 6 pm PST.

    Lets say I couldn’t create accounts with MU, what would you recommend then?

    Thanks,

    Does the link in the activation email have the right domain in it?

    “Lets say I couldn’t create accounts with MU, what would you recommend then?”

    Then I’d recommend you go back over the readme file included with MU. :) If you set up a subdomain account, it’s likely you forgot to do the wildcards.

    Ah…it is a subdomain account. I do not know what wildcards are. I will look into it now

    okay so…how do I do the wildcards? Is it hard? Am I better off disabling subdomain accounts? If so, how do I do that?

    :)

    thanks!

    Wildcard subdomains are part of your DNS & apache setup.

    To turn off subdomains in WP, edit your wp-config.php and change VHOST to ‘no’.

    ihave got it working so far but the strange thing is that it creates a blog instead of a profile and when i click on create a home base it just says…

    You’re logged in already. No need to register again!

    so basically when you register at bp.spotskenya.com/ you go through the sign up well and uit does it nicely but its creating a blog not a user… i am guessing this is due to the fact that i am useing sub directories no subdomains as my server doesnt alow me acces to wildcards.

    plase can som one help its for a major uni project..

    cheers
