WordPress MU

While accessing wordpress-mu from "http://locahost/blogs"
It gives error
Installing to http://localhost/ is not supported. Please use http://localhost.localdomain/ instead.
Is there no way to install it from localhost without using sub-domain??

Just out of curiousity, what kind of a set up is that on?

I am working on apache and trying installing it directly in localhost instead of localhost.localdomain... Is there any way out to do so???

Oh I didn't ask, are you trying to set it up as a sub-domain install or as a sub-directory install? Because I could see how a sub-domain setup would balk at being on localhost. Second question is, Apache on Windows, or Apache on Linux, because the steps if you really need to set it up as a sub-domain install is different for one or the other.

I am trying to install it as a sub-directory... Using Apache on Linux.

It should be as simple as adding

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain

to your /etc/hosts and setting up a new VirtualHost on Apache,

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName localhost.localdomain
        ServerAdmin you@localhost.localdomain

        DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/
        <Directory /var/www/localhost/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Off the top of my head. Somebody will correct me if I've made a typo. ;)

I got it... I even installed it in localhost.localdomain.. But my question was that is there any way to install it in localhost without using localhost.localdomain.????

"is there any way to install it in localhost without using localhost.localdomain.???? "

No. You have to add it to the hosts file as specified. If it were possible, you wouldn't get that message. :)
