I'm setting it up now but I've bagged rewriting. Seems fine - except the very latest version breaks in MU. The 1.0RC1-9 seems alright.
I'm using it through Plugin Commander if it makes any difference ... not sure.

I use DreamHost for DNS and a different host for Apache. It was a matter of me emailing DH support and asking them to "setup a wildcard DNS for my domain" which they then told me I could have done myself (know next time) - and emailing the Apache host and pointing them to this page for this
Code:
2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this
line
"AllowOverride None"
and change it to
"AllowOverride FileInfo Options"
3. In the <VirtualHost> section of the config file for your host there
will be a line defining the hostname. You need to add the following
if you want virtual hosts to work properly:
"ServerAlias *.domain.tld"
Replace domain.tld with whatever your one is, and remove the quotes.I'm going to be writing up a help guide on MU soon I'll toss it in the thread http://www.wickedfire.com/traffic-supreme/12690-complete-guide-wordpress-blogging.html
For DreamHost ... if you're familiar with creating custom DNS records there, as far as I can tell from looking at what support did, it's just a matter of adding a CNAME of "*" (without quotes) pointing to your domain.tld. If unsure - just ask 'em. They did mine quick!
I can help ya more tomorrow if needed ... family night tonight!
That's genius! Cheers for telling me that dude, would have taken me hours otherwise. lol :bowdown:
Doesn't your hosting provider already have mod_rewrite on, if it does then you don't need to add that line, if you are using a virtual host like Apache then in the http.config file the loadmodule line is usually commented out just remove the # from the start of the line and it should work fine.
However if you want to do this online and your host has mod_rewrite turned off then yeah I'm not sure how you would go about doing it other then asking them to turn it on for you.
Bam Bam,
I am curious to know if the plugins contained in your wordress.zip file work with WMU. Mind updating us on the compatibility?

It seems that the "Update Services" option isn't in WordPressMU, should I ignore this? I am really new to it, are WordPressMU and WordPress the same thing?:xomunch:
Under Options---->Privacy make sure you have the option "I would like my blog to be visible to anyone who visits, including search engines, archivers and in public listings around this site." Checked off then once you go under......................ummmm..........................ummm...............ok what the fuck the ability to ping is gone in MU as well.
As for MU and Wordpress being the same thing the answer is yes they are 100% the same core program, you see MU was built directly on top of Wordpress but the two guys who are building MU like to do things pre-maturely and I'm sure they have there reasons for it but there are still lots of little things that they need to clean up.
I've basically already hacked down most of the new MU code and tweaked some chuncks on my own installs to support some of the old features that I MU wen't ahead and changed but to put it simply yes MU is the same as WP.
