I'm trying to install multi-db using this link: http://www.billbailey.co.nz/2009/multi-database-step-by-step-installation/#more-90.
First off, are these instructions accurate?
When getting to step 7, I can not find my own global tables. Can anyone provide guidance on how to find these?
Thanks

If you didn't define a global db in your db-config.php file before migrating your tables it can be very hard to track them down.

Thanks for the response Aaron! I am actually doing this on a testing site and not my live site. If possible, can I get a bit more of an explanation in your above comment? I installed WPMU on my live site under one database. Was I supposed to go into the db-config.php file and define a global db?

Can anyone lead me to instructions on uploading multi-db?

Hiya,
We're currently working on better instructions. In the meantime please read through this thread:

I seem to have gotten somewhere. I reached the final step, but it doesn't see the databases. Can anyone help me get past this issue?

Did you open up move-blogs.php and fill in your db details?
Thanks,
Andrew

Yes we did that. Any other suggestions?

The mysql login info you put in move-blogs.php is wrong or doesn't have permission to create DBs.

Thanks Aaron. I think we have it under control now. I'll let you know how it goes.
