    Thanks for the explanation of how WPMU works. I couldn't find that in the README or FAQ.

    Also, I have noted people who have the most issues are running an install in a subdirectory off a subdomain. It wasn't really meant to be used like that. I would imagine internally it creates a mess.

    So, basically what you're saying is that if I have the install in /WPMU I still need a VHOSTS directive in apache.conf that maps something like 'blogs.earlham.edu' to this directory? The README file refers to installing in the root of the domain or a subdirectory but it's not clear that it won't run directly from that subdirectory off the subdomain. Doing the VHOST thing requires that the DNS gets set to map 'blogs.earlham.edu' to 'myhost/WPMU/' right?

    If you are getting a 404 Not Found error like I was, then this thread http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2556&replies=4 explains how it was fixed [on linux].

    I installed MU with the directory option, not domain opt.

    Even with the correct .htaccess file, the problem was in the httpd.conf

    The changes to httpd.conf and .htaccess fix the issue forme as well. It is a bit frustrating to note that after a year this install issue still exist. Someone should update the install docs.

    This install docs are accurate...just confusing for many people. This is what the README.txt file says.

    2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this
    line
    "AllowOverride None"
    and change it to
    "AllowOverride FileInfo Options"

    In my Red Hat Apache httpd.conf file, you will find this.

    <Directory "/var/www/html">

    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride FileInfo Options

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    </Directory>

    If the AllowOverride in not changed at this particular spot, the subdirectory blogs will give you Page Not Found.
