    Ok! I actually "sorta" got an install done. Used the 4-7-06 build. First time, I didn't select virtual hosts (I have confirmed with my host it is supported, as is mod_rewrite). Install seemed to finish, but the main site had some text telling me I should use vhosts.

    So, I nuked the mysql db, deleted all the files, and started again. This time I enabled vhosts. There were about 50 errors when trying to write wp-config.php but eventually it said 'DONE' in green and told me to log in. I did. And it seemed to work.

    At this point I think I was looking at my "main" WPMU blog. I understand that I need to create my own "account" for my old WP 2.01 blog content. I did that, and it appeared to work. Looked all purty with the default template and everything.

    But I noticed there was no Plugin section on the admin panel, so I decided to go back to the "main" WPMU blog and log in. It was trying to go to this URL:

    http://org/ncs-tech/

    Which is obviously invalid. What is causing that? I must have missed something.

    I am presuming once I get the above issue addressed, I will be able to log into the "main" WPMU blog and set up stuff like site-wide plugins. Correct?

    Also, is there a way to "turn off" the capability to create new blogs? I intend to do that myself.

    Thanks in advance!

    I should also add that I was prompted to chmod folders and did as requested each time. Thanks!

    You arent going to like my answer...

    But I had the same issue, what I did to fix it was...

    1. Delete the entire installation.
    2. Reinstall. Run the installer at http://YOURDOMAIN.com and NOT http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com.

    There may be a quicker way--like editing the htaccess file, but this is what I did to fix it, and it worked out for me.

    andrea you said yes but you didnt show kjarrett how to do it. :))

    By deleting wp-newblogs.php or signup.php, wouldn't that disable signing up of blogs?

    :P

    To turn on plugins for users, go to /wp-admin/wpmu-options.php
    Scroll down.
    There's a ticky box labeled like this:
    Menus (Enable or disable WP Backend Menus)
    Menu Enabled
    Plugins
    Click it.
    Then click to update options button.

    To disable sign-ups, just turn on the "check for invites" button.
    Go to this URL in your installation:
    /wp-admin/wpmu-admin.php?page=mu-plugins/invites.php
    Chekc the ticky box, then click the "submit query" button to save it.

    Sign-up page will still be there (and hard to find if you don't link to it) and if anyone does try, they'll just get redirected back to the main page.
