    Hi,
    I went through the forum and Google for searching this issue, but I can't find it. I got to where WPMU is setting up subdomains OK, but when I go to the subdomain page, it shows a default Apache message shows:

    "Great Success !
    Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server"

    I have a dedicated server and I think I did everything with VHOST and other DNS stuff.

    What is wrong with it?

    Thank you

    I guess you set up a real subdomain on your cfg panel? you only need to setup wildcard dns, and don't set up your subdomains, wpmu handles them "virtually"

    No, I didn't setup sub-domains manually.

    I have had this problem also, but managed to solve it by directly editing the apache's httpd.conf file. I couldn't find any option in WHM/cPanel to do it.

    Mine is located here:
    /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

    find this:

    <VirtualHost {ip address}>
    SeverAlias mydomain.com

    change the ServerAlias line to
    ServerAlias *.mydomain.com

    mydomain.com should be replaced with your domain for wpmu (obviously).

    It did work the magic for me. Hope it works for you too.
