internal server error in WordPress MU

    I was getting an internal server error after replacing my .htaccess with the htaccess.dist. I commented out every line and added them in one by one. The offending line is:

    RewriteRule ^$ BASE/wp-inst/index.php [L]

    I know only what I learned in about 10 minutes at Apache’s site about the syntax of these rewrite rules, which is enough to almost be dangerous. Is there a problem with this line that needs to be changed? If it’s just something squirrelly with my server, is leaving this commented out going to make a huge difference?

    You can leave that out. Better yet don’t bother with htaccess.dist at all; use the .htaccess file provided in Options » Permalinks. If you don’t see one there, then WP is automatically managing your .htaccess file and you don’t need to do anything. If you do see it there, copy and paste it into your .htaccess file, replacing any old rules you may have had.

    WordPress MU is not supported on these boards. Sorry!

    Ach, I missed the MU part. Sorry. Ignore whatever I posted; it probably won’t work.

    Is there a board for questions on MU elsewhere then?

    FWIW, I assumed it would be appropriate for the Beta section and assumed that since “support” is mostly a matter of anyone who WANTS to be helpful doing so and the people who DON’T finding various reasons to b**ch about the questions people ask, that it wouldn’t be any extra skin off anyone’s teeth to ask a question here anyway.

    Tomhanna, all Allusion was trying to tell you is that you probably won’t get an answer here.
