   Hi, everybody!
   So I did everything (I think so) for proper installation:

   edited httpd.conf like this

   <VirtualHost ххх.ххх.xxx.xxx>
   ServerName mysite.com
   ServerAlias *.mysite.com
   </VirtualHost>

   and <Directory> section;

   mod_rewrite is on;

   DNS records:
   

   Name                  Type                         Address
   *.mysite.com.      A(Internet Address)    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   *.mysite.com.      CNAME                      mysite.com.

   But it doesn't work anyway. I mean - it installed, and let me register new users, but url newUser.mysite.com - doesn't exist =(

   I don't know what else should I do!
   Please, help =)

   How long did you leave it between changing DNS and testing it? DNS records can take some time to propogate.

   What error is it throwing when you try to access one of the newly created blog urls?

   2-3 days before I changed that dns records.

   error: 404 not found
   The requested URL /wp-activate.php was not found on this server.

   you put all the directory information within the <virtualHost> tag block I take it?

   mmm?
   well, yes, I asked support to make set it like this
   <VirtualHost ххх.ххх.xxx.xxx>
   ServerName mysite.com
   ServerAlias *.mysite.com
   </VirtualHost>
   and they said they did it

   something else should be done?

   In the <VirtualHost ...> section, you should also have:

   `
   <DocumentRoot /var/www
   <Directory /var/www/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride FileInfo Options
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
   </Directory>`

   The Options and AllowOverride lines should read as I've put them above. The others can be different, I believe.

   well... hoster said it's default settings, so they are there

   The defaulting setting on the AllowOverride is AllowOverride None, I believe, which would cause the server to not recognize a .htaccess file.

   Yes, but before I asked them to change it to AllowOverride FileInfo Options, so it set now like it should.

    OK, silly question -- when you create a new user, it doesn't necessarily create a blog that would be accessible at user.mysite.com. Are you creating the blog AND the user or just the user?

    I create a blog - I check 'Gimme a blog!' :)

    In WordPress MU, where are you going to create a user that has an option "give me a blog"?

    Can you provide a link so that we can see your site and what you are doing?
