In previous post I explain about adding host into my windows xp using : sample.com and testing if xampp lite work.
Today I’ll continue on installation process of wpmu followed by making its permalink work.
Here the steps :
Installation wordpress multi user
1. Extract wpmu and rename it to wpmu
2. Move the folder into htdocs
3. Don’t touch any config file as you usually do with usual wordpress file. Let it as is.
Configuration
4. Find file httpd.conf inside folder
xampp-> apache -> conf
using notepad
5. Find these lines :
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
remove # sign
and this line
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
change into this :
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
save the file and restart xampp.
6. Make new database from phpmyadmin
I make database ‘wpmu‘
7. Open browser, use this address :
http://sample.com/wpmu
8. It should show this page
9. Continue to fill all information :
- Choose Subdirectories
- Database name -> wpmu
- Username -> root
- Password ->
- Database Host -> localhost
- Server address -> sample.com
- Site title -> Sample.com Blogs
- Email -> fill my email address
Hit Submit button.
Testing
10. If installation process goes well, it will show this page
11. Login and test to modify permalink
12. Testing this permalink using ‘hello world’ post 
Yes, till this step all configuration work well and you can try your wordpress multi user in your laptop.
Play around with it, customize theme etc and when ready you may upload to dedicated hosting for organization, school etc.

Ok. I managed to get through that.
Now when I click Submit, I get a Redirect Loop Error from the browser.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
HELP!
I am having the same problem with the Redirect Loop Error. I get all the way through step 9, then:
Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.
how to make this hostname accessable to local area network ?, so another users can register to wpmu from another computers in the local area network
[...] Setting on apache side on ‘Clean URL’ section can be read here. [...]
Put
remove_filter(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’);
info the functions.php files for each template you have.
It will make the redirect arror go away.
