Hi,
i've just recently moved from a standalone WP 3.0.1. site with buddypress to one with WPMU active.
I'm running it on a vps at Dreamhost who have activated wildcard dns.
When I installed it I got the message about using subdomains not directories.
Despite that it installed as a sub directory installation.
I followed the instructions to change to a subdomain setup by changing wp-config and the .htaccess file
Now if I go in as super admin and add a new site it is automatically set up with the path to the database appended to the URL, which the server can't find.
So instead of test.domain.com it looks for test.domain.comdomain.com_5 which is the db name tagged on to the url.
Any idea of what's happening would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My thinking is there's either something wrong in the database or in your wp-config file.
Can you check your database table for wp_options and see what you have for 'home' and 'siteurl'
Both should be set to your regular domain: http://example.com
Also, check for wp_site and let us know what your domain and path is for this.
My guess is the problem is in the database there, but if not, let us know and we can try a couple other things.
Hi,
Thanks for the response.
In wp_options both 'home' and 'site url' are http://domain.com
wp_site domain is just domain.com (no http://)
path is just /
Thanks

Are you on dreamhost by any chance?
There is a solution here - http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/multi-bd-everything-is-going-into-global-database-only#post-60363

Yes, I am on Dreamhost.
Cutting out the extra line in the wp-config file seems to have worked.
Thanks very much to you both for your help.
