    Hi, i am virtually new to this MU things.
    Yet, i am trying to setup it.

    I am running reseller account on cpanel/whm with SSH access, yet no root access.

    Been trying to find help with a help of uncle google. Yet, no luck. Everything is so confusing.

    Here's the fact:
    I have downloaded and insatalled the version 1.5.
    Website is up and running, it is located here: http://indoblog.info

    Then i am trying to setup another blog:
    howto.indoblog.info

    Here's my .htaccess file

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    #php_flag register_globals 0
    #php_flag display_errors 0

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule . - [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    I assume your host inserted the wildcard ServerAlias line to the Apache httpd.conf file under your virtual host...

    Wildcard DNS entries. Were they set up?

    Andrea_r has pointed out that because of the way cPanel works, the order in which the ServerAlias directives are created by cPanel requires the admin to go in and (manually) reorder the list, moving the wildcard higher up in the list (try a search). That helped me. Different hosts, different setups?

    Others disagree.

    Just confirm for everybody that you read the README file?

    I did read the readme file.
    Just seem to be blocked on the subdomain config.

    Can't get to the httpd.conf (as stated in the post).

    Is there another way around this?

    "Can't get to the httpd.conf (as stated in the post)."

    Will your host do it? Because no, there's no other way around it.

    I know one that dubbed as unsafe setup of WPMU. Is it still unsafe? Ever heard of it, never came across it though. Any idea?
