Installing BuddyPress and WP MU
Posted in Blogging on May 24th, 2009 by Icd – 4 CommentsI’m not completely sure why I’m already posting this, but I decided to try out a copy of BuddyPress. If it works out I might just give everyone a chance to host a blog here for free which includes BuddyPress on top of that.
I’m in the process of testing all of this out on a new host and will try to have a complete tutorial finished within the week.
I’m actually ranking far to high in Google, specifically for BuddyPress related posts. I would like to give the visitors something that can help them. So, if you have any tutorials you would like me to list feel free to do so.
Here’s a few tutorials I would recommend:
Installing WordPress MU:
1. http://maketecheasier.com/install-wordpress-mu-in-windows-localhost-with-xampp/2009/05/02 - A complete in depth tutorial on how to install and test WP MU on your local server.
2. http://www.blogopreneur.com/2006/11/06/installing-wordpress-mu-on-a-cpanelwhm-server/ - Installing WordPress MU on a Cpanel server.
3. http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU - The WordPress MU installation Codex.
As soon as you’ve thorougly tested and completed a few WP MU installations, you’re ready to start setting up the big mama , BuddyPress.
