the install proces is creating half part of the table,
wp_1_comments ,
wp_1_links ,
wp_1_options ,
wp_1_postmeta ,
wp_1_posts ,
wp_1_terms ,
wp_1_term_relationships ,
wp_1_term_taxonomy ;
But not the other one, this is a new install.
I had this problem and it was caused by me having a plain wordpress install at the root level and MU install in a directory.
/ <- regular wordpress
/clients <- wordpress MU
to fix it open up the file “wp-blog-header.php”
look for
if ( !file_exists( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-config.php') && !file_exists( dirname( dirname(__FILE__) ) . '/wp-config.php')) {
should be around line 10-11ish
once you have found this comment out from the “&&” to the bracket just after the last “wp-config.php”
so you should have
if ( !file_exists( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-config.php') /*&& !file_exists( dirname( dirname(__FILE__) ) . '/wp-config.php')*/) {
then try it again.
The problem is wordpress mu checks the current directory and then goes up one more level so for me it did the following
/clients – no wp-config.php
go up one level
/ – wp-config.php found
I’m sure that there is a point to this being there I’m just not sure what that is.
Hope that helps

It’s legacy code from Wordpress itself, which lets you move the location of the config file to outside the public web directory. :) So that’s the why.
Great thanks for the info!
