Is it ok to intall wpmu on the same server where I am currently running an active wp blog already?
my existing blog:
http://www.example.com
wpmu folder:
http://www..example.com/wpmu
Will this affect my current wp blog?
Thanks guys!

No, it won't affect your current blog, but you will have an issue on install. THe WPMU will find the config file for the main WP install, so you have to stop it from doing that.

Thank you very much for the response Andrea. Now I'll do my best to learn on how to do so :)
Cheers!
Yep, I read that and it worked. It installed in a sub-directory, but when I punch in the link at a web browser, back to the wpmu install page...no matter what link I try. Any ideas? I'm getting the impression that this is a common problem that novice face as all the pro's won't respond to it. But hey, I could be wrong, I'm searching page by page till I find something. I'll let you know when I get to page 80 :)

Uh, no.
Also, if it was common, I can assure you I would have covered it in the installing WPMU ebook I did.
Yep read the book and thank you. I got it installed, I'm just getting jammed up when trying to actually look at the link in a browser...only get the wpmu install page! Do you work for Wordpress? I notice your all over this thing solving everyone's problems. No matter, a thanks is in order.
:D If they want to pay me, I'm open for that.
This particular issue is one I'd like to solve. I'm 99% certain it's the hosting environment. Any other hosts I've installed it on, I haven't run into this issue.
...and answered in the other thread. It's the host.
from another post:
I wanted to let everyone know what I learned from My WPMU and single install woes.
With Lunarpages I was able to install and run it on a shared server. It had to be installed on the root and I did get it to install in a directory, but it just won't run correctly. So I moved my previous single install of WP to a directory and installed WPMU on the root and everything works fine.
Hope this helps those of you trying to do something like this.
