Component:  General       |     Version:  2.8.4     
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:            
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 After many, many attempts to upgrade WPMU and previous attempts to install
 WPMU2.8 I lost all data and started over again.
 I downloaded 2.8.4a, unzipped and published.
 1. The docs say that the install directory has to be 777. Not true: I get
 a server error if I do so.
 2.
 Run index.php > server error
 Run index-install.php > data are asked (DB name, DB user, DB pw)
 afterwards 404 file not found
 3.
 Edit wp-config-sample.php with the DB data, and publish as wp-config.php
 index.php says Database Tables Missing.

 Quite obvious: yes, this is a new installation, so there are no data in
 the DB.
