WordPress MU

   This might seem like a Noob question , I have done several installs with the standard version of word press without any issue but im a little stumped with this one.

   I have configured my DNS with a wild-card entry so that anything.mydomain.com will always resolve to my web-server.

   now my question is where should I put the MU files. Should they go in the var/www/http Apache default folder
   or
   in the folder of my Virtual Host.

   Im a little fuzzy on where I should place these files. Would anyone be willing to share an example Apache config from a working setup?

   Thanks for any help

   Put them in the folder for your virtual host, if you are supporting more than one host on your apache server.

   Thanks Steve

   Another quick question, I'm only planning on using this server to service the MU installation.
   So should I just leave the default Apache http dir empty and have the *.mydomainname.com alias serviced by the virtual host.

   I am trying to allow the creation of site names on the fly
   such as
   blog1.mydomainname.com
   blog2.mydomainname.com
   blog3.mydomainname.com
   etc...

   and with a big of luck and the right configuration the MU installation will pick-up and manage these domains due to the wild card dns entry in place.

   Any suggestions on what I should have the default web server resolve to if im not planning on using it.

   Thanks again.

   That's pretty much how WPMU works?

   Thanks for your reply Andrea, I found your site http://wpmututorials.com and downloaded your "Installing Wordpress MU" E-book I found it very helpful.
