WordPress MU

My host tells me the server is set up properly yet pages below the homepage (blog posts, pages, etc.) return 404s with any permalink other than the default.

I am only left to guess that it is the httpd.conf given directio nfrom here: http://www.blogopreneur.com/2006/11/06/installing-wordpress-mu-on-a-cpanelwhm-server/

I am on a reseller account with Hostrocket and can't find it. I'm told it should be here: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

A search returns these similarities but I can't access these files: /.cpanel/datastore/_usr_local_apache_bin_httpd_-v

1. Am I on the right track regarding a solution? Does the httpd.conf have anything to do with the problem here?
2. If so, any idea how to get at it? Does it not exist on my server?

pages below the homepage (blog posts, pages, etc.) return 404s with any permalink other than the default.

Is mod_rewrite enabled? Got .htaccess file?

What pertains httpd.conf - not sure if your problem has anything to do with it, but if you have ssh access type locate httpd.conf

That's really a question for your host as, even with the locate, the OS and/or hosting platform you;re using may use a differently named file and/or not provide access to it for you.

edit: Hosting platforms (ie CPanel, Direct Admin, Ensim, etc) have a habit of redoing files for their own liking.
