    I'm on Reseller account on site5. I have configured DNS for wildcard but keep getting "Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server" on I http://test1.muslimblogr.com/

    My .htaccess looks like this:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
    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 contacted Site5 & they said they can't help.

    I could not edit httpd.conf because they wouldn't tell me where it is, I don't think I even got access to it.

    well you'll need to configure apache because it needs to be able to recognise that you're running a wildcard in your domain

    If they're unwilling to modify httpd.conf for you, then a new host would be in order. The changes listed in the readme file are required to run the software in a subdomain mode.

    Either that or install the software as a subdirectory install.

    Gee, I remember site5 saying at one time they had wildcard subdomains set up by default. all you had to do was make sure you added your wildcard DNS records.

    then again, they also say you're not allowed to give away free webspace from your account. (it's in their TOS, look it up)

    they also will kick you off if you use up too many resources. Which WPMU will do on their server.

    And on a shared post you will never get access to httpd.conf. It's outside of the file structure of user accounts.

    So I'm betting they changed their mind. Again.

    Ditto. I'm wondering if there's a bit of miscommunication going on here.

    Oh maybe excommunication as Firefox is trying to change what I wrote up there. :)

    OK problem solved, they said they couldn't allow me to change the httpd.conf. But he also luckyly told me the solution would be to add a subdirectory like *.muslimblogr.com and it managed to work.

    I read their TOS, I think I better move to a better server before they kick me out.

    Would MediaTemple Grid be a good move to make?

    "add a subdirectory like *.muslimblogr.com and it managed to work."

    Yes, that's adding a wildcard to your DNS records, like we said. :)

    The instructions are in the readme file included with the download. It;s a two step process with both Apache and the DNS server that you;re running. Have you reviewed the readme file?

    Thank you for your post.
    I have added a wildcard sub-domain entry to your account so all subdomains that do not have their own entry will go to /public_html.
    :(
    I have Site5 hosting too.
