    I've migrated my mu site from bluehost (shared server) to rackspace (dedicated server). Same domain, same structure. After the migration the main admin blog loads and I can post to it, but all of the mu blogs give a 404 Not Found error.

    http://blogs.saschinaonline.org
    http://blogs.saschinaonline.org/jutecht

    I contacted rackspace and they gave me the following:

    You are getting a 404 error becasue the URL you are trying to call does not exist on the server.

    /home/httpd
    [RackShell 20:47:22]=-=<Linux i686>=-=(root @ 115366-app1.saschina.org)
    (/home/httpd) # find . -name jutecht
    [RackShell 20:47:23]=-=<Linux i686>=-=(root @ 115366-app1.saschina.org)
    (/home/httpd) #

    This is a school site with about 500 blogs on it. Not sure what to do now....any help is appreciated.

    mu 1.1.1

    Just found out the wp-admin/users.php page is not showing up. It's just blank.

    Update: after running the upgrade script from the Site Admin the users are now all there, but the blogs still giving 404 Error.

    Do you have a .htaccess file in your WPMu's root and is there stuff in there? Should look something like this:

    http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/htaccess.dist

    You'll note that your blog isn't showing up either.

    I remember rackspace....

    Solved my problem with the blogs. The following needed to be changed on the Apache server.

    the apache configuration was modified from this:
    --
    <Directory "/var/www/vhosts/saschinaonline/blogs">
    allow from all
    Options +Indexes
    </Directory>

    to this:
    --
    <Directory "/var/www/vhosts/saschinaonline/blogs">
    AllowOverride FileInfo Options
    </Directory>
    ---

    Hope this helps others. This was on a rackspace Linux server.
