    Installation seems to go just fine. I give WP all the info it needs (db name, db host, password, email of admin) and it works wonderfully.

    However, when someone new wants to open a blog, they get the email to log in, but the new blog space isn't created. They get 404 errors. Also, the "hello world" blog returns a 404.

    Any ideas?

    Plently actually but without an example nor any information about your install, you don't give us anything to go on.

    In my case it was a problem in my httpd.conf with the serverroot but it's a bit hard for anyone to guess that without knowing how you configured things.

    How about a URL?

    I've just been using http://(server ip address)/wpmu/

    I don't know anything really about DNS and URLs and all that jazz...I was hoping I could just install WPMU to my document root...use directories instead of virtual sites...and be done with it...unfortunately it does not appear to be that easy...

    Sounds like you uploaded the zip file and then upzipped it. You may want to reread the readme.txt file again.

    Also realize that if you don't understand things like DNS and URLs, WPMU may not be for you. What's going to happen when a client comes to you and asks you a question about something?

    the work I'm doing is far from mission critical type stuff...I'm hoping to learn some of this as I go along...
