the error in the server log is LoadModule not allowed here
I'm assuming this means the line I added to httpd.conf?

This is after successful install, then clicking "log-in" as prompted.
A quick google for that error suggests that you've a LoadModule line within your .htaccess file within root. I know that wpmu a line into the .htaccess file. Have you done something else to that file?
I only added the LoadModule line as per the install instructions.
Um, the LoadModule instructions in the readme file are for the httpd.conf file, not the htaccess file.
If you have added that line to the htaccess file, chances are your host doesn't allow modifications to the htaccess file to override his or her settings. Best bet would be to get their them to make the required changes.
Have to admit though that I've never seen a linux based Apache install without mod_rewrite already installed. (I see it on Windows based ones all the time though.) It may already be activated. Again, you may want to get with your host.
