Okay I started setting up the blogs using subdomains, but we are going to have to switch over to using shibboleth authentication so I need to switch from using subdomains to using folder. What is the proper way to do this, I changed the setting in the config file but now I can't access any of the blogs at the /blogname/ url, all I get is a 404 error, even on a new blog that I just created.
Thanks for any help.

You need to open the database in phpmyadmin or something similar.
Open the wp_blogs table and change all of the domains to be the root of your site and the paths to be the subdomains. E.g.
domain - myblog.mysite.com
path - /
becomes - mysite.com
path - /myblog/
When you have done that, you need to open the options table for each blog and change the entries for siteurl, home and fileupload_url to reflect the new url. e.g.
siteurl - http://myblog.mysite.com/
becomes - http://mysite.com/myblog/
etc..

Thanks, I tried this, but I only get a 404 error. I also changed the config setting for vhosts. Any other ideas.

Are you getting a server 404 (with a mention of apache at the bottom or similar) or a WordPress 4040 with the site theme.

apache 404 error, so i'm guessing it is something with the .htaccess file that should add index.php to the end or something like that.

yep, it sounds like a htaccess issue.
Try deleting any existing one and recreating it from the htaccess.dist file.

thanks, I looked over my .htaccess and it was a match for that I swear, but apparently it was different, when I replaced it with the htaccess.dist file everything started working properly. Thanks for your help.
