After installation of the zipped version of Wpmu from the web site, I have had many problems viewing newly created blogs.
Under my current installation, I used (from the install.php) a server address of blog.domain.com , and I chose subdomains. I installed wpmu not at the html root but one level down at /blog/
In my httpd.conf, I have this entry:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/blog
ServerAlias *.domain.com
</VirtualHost>
So now if I try to access a new blog, meetings.blog.domain.com , I get "Error 400 - Bad Request" and no error is placed in the httpd error_log.
I have tried various other configuration of the HTTPD virtualhosts and using subdirectories instead of subdomains.
I currently do not have an entry in my httpd.conf file related to step two in the apache configuration instructions:
"21 2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this
22 line
23 "AllowOverride None"
24 and change it to
25 "AllowOverride FileInfo Options""
I tried this at one point but it did not work and I was not sure where it went. It seems that I have seen a wide variety of recommended solutions for similar problems, from changing DNS settings, to .htaccess, to virtual hosts - but there haven't been many explicit instructions on what the httpd.conf settings should be, so I am asking here.
