    hi

    I have installed wpmu at http://bayaaz.com and created a blog http://samt.bayaaz.com. But when I try to open it, it gives 403 forbidden error. Please check it and tell what's the problem.

    regards

    As Apache seems to be throwing an error you need to look at your Apache error logs and see what they are reporting. As well as the 403 you are getting a 500 which is a server configuration error.

    Did you enable wildcards? I'm betting not. Or at least, not correctly.

    Someone try pinging the samt (or any other random) subdomain. If it's not found then that means wildcards haven't been turned on.

    It wouldn't even ping the main domain, let along a subdomain.

    Thanks to all of you but my problem hasn't been resolved yet.

    I have got GoDaddy.com's Deluxe hosting and my website http://www.bayaaz.com is hosted there. I don't know how to enable wildcard there, there support doesn't tell this. Please tell me how can I enable wildcards. And if there's anyother problem, how can I resolve it?

    Thanks

    Looks like spam seo. Sites full of advertising.

    Ask you host to enable wildcard domains for your account.
