   Spent about two days off and on attempting to install wpmu in a subdirectory of my deluxe hosting account with static IP using an aliased domain name. Boy what a headache that was. No need to list the 500 different failed things that I tried. 8(

   I then decided to try installing it in the root of my hosting account on the primary domain.

   Yesssssssssss...It installed and fired up without a hitch. Just make sure you follow the directions to the T. Directions--> http://help.godaddy.com/article/5072

   I would also suggest waiting at least a few hours after you set your wildcard before you attempt the installation. I'm not sure if propagation is an issue with setting up a wildcard but why suffer the frustration.

   So anyways...Get your deluxe hosting with a static IP. Set up your wildcard on your A host. Go catch a dinner and movie. Then do your install when you get home.

   Hey Mike, glad to got it set up. I've noticed that godaddy's propagation seems to take a while. I'm actually running two wpmu sites off of godaddy shared hosting (well technically one plan is grid hosting, but basically the same thing at the moment) so I know where you're coming from

   Question...does this solve the issue with new blogs on subdomains not showing up?

   I followed the instructions, but still having issues with new blogs giving 404 error. It only works if I add the subdomains manually in the hosting account and point them to the installation directory, but that seems to be a bit counterproductive.

   To be perfectly honest, I am really getting tired of GoDaddy all together. Thanks for any help you might be able to offer!!

   Probably a very good point was made here:

   I then decided to try installing it in the root of my hosting account on the primary domain.

   That is the only thing that I haven't done (and for various reasons I can't do). If that's the problem then it's completely silly!

   I don't think that you can get subdomain to work for mu on goaddy servers. WPMU uses virtual subdomains so you need to set up domain aliases.

   Does godaddy servers let you edit dms entriesand the apache httpd.conf file?
