Another subdomain query ... (2 posts)

    Having just downloaded and *attempted* to install WPMU, i've come accross the problem of subdomains.I've never touched the apache configuration before.WPMU has been installed on a local server on my computer for testing.

    Basically, none of the subdomains are working.If i create a new user and attempt to access his blog, the address will not be reachable.

    I browsed through the forums and found a post (http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/311#post-1658) which seemed very helpful indeed. Now bearing in mind im on windows, i copied and pasted into my own http.conf changing all of the relevant bits (paths etc) to suit my system.However, now not even localhost can be found!

    The following is what i have changed:
    --------------------------------
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin server@sample.org
    # Temporary dns (wildcard)
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias *.localhost
    Customlog C:\AppServ\apache\logs\access.txt combined
    Errorlog C:\AppServ\apache\logs\error.txt
    DocumentRoot C:\AppServ\wwww\wpmu

    <Directory C:\AppServ\www\wpmu>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    </VirtualHost>
    ---------------------------------

    Some guidance and help needed please!

    Regards,
    Mo

    I would also like to know please. I want to setup each new blog under a subdomain, newblog.domain.com etc etc. Anyone know how this would be possible and simple to do?
