    Let us say that my site is at http://www.website.com and my wordpress installation is at http://www.website.com/wpmu My host is http://www.f2s.com

    I am admin and everything words fine for me. But, when I've been testing by logging on as another user and applying for a blog there is a problem. When I get the email to activate the blog the user cannot logon to the site name he is sent because it doesn't exist.

    Suppose I create user smitty, the link in the email is sent as http://smitty.website.com/wpmu, which doesn't exist. I guess this is because my site is hosted. Is there any way to resolve this dilemna?

    Did you follow all the steps in the readme?

    I don't have access to my hosts Apache files, so am unable to change any of them as explained in the readme. Does this mean that I can only use WPMU as a blog for myself and am unable to allow others to create blogs?

    look at your wp-config.php:
    define('VHOST', 'no');

    Can you create at least one subdomain? Create a subdomain for your wpmu install then your new blogs will look like http://wpmu.website.com/smitty/

    dsader - Thanks for the tip on wp-config. I made the alteration and everything appears to be working fine. Now I just need to add a link to the signup page. I really do appreciate everybody's suggestions and I want to thank you all for taking the time to do it. Thanks guys and gals.
