Multidb with buddypress

How to uninstall multidb? I try on normal wpmu and multi db 2.7.5 works perfectly, but when I tried on buddypress, I got empty blank page. Help?

    Hiya,

    Multi-DB 2.7.5 works correctly when installed properly. Several members have confirmed that.

    If you want to remove Multi-DB:

    1) Copy all of the tables from your multiple databases to a single db

    2) Configure the db details at the top of wp-config.php for the single db

    3) Remove the Multi-DB files.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Actually I change the global db to my own db name. In move-blogs.php I hacked $this_blog_new_db = $newdb_prefix."global"; to $this_blog_new_db = $newdb_prefix."mynewglobaldb";

    Then when I run the scripts, everything reported as fine. But when access index.php, blank page appears. It also seems that I cannot log into admin account also.

    I follow your advice and got the old buddypress working again, but multidb is not working since I have to hack.

    I have 2 wpmu installed on one account of the server, the problem I have is that the first wpmu uses global db as global, I need a new global db name for the second one. This is why I hacked the move-blogs.php up. Maybe my method is wrong. Is there a way to work around this?

    Hiya,

    I’m sure the script could be modified but I’m afraid it’s not something we’re willing to look into. Generally the only time you would need to modify the global db name to something other than "PREFIX_global" is if you have a restrictive host. 99% of the time Multi-DB shouldn’t be used with such hosts anyway.

    Thanks,
