I have installed a WP MU blog and when I create a blog, I get the welcome email, I click the link but the bog is not there - error message.

My htaccess is this:


php_flag register_globals 0
php_flag display_errors 0
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

Which comes with the WPMU install files.

Is the wild card thing set in Dreamhost? Can I install WPMU blogs on DH?

Wildcard DNS can only be turned on by Support. They'll need a good explanation from you why you want it turned on.

No, not by default it is not, and while your attempts to set a custom DNS with a "*" might *seem* to work, they will not produce the desired results.

More details on this, and how you *may* be able to use wildcard DNS on Dreamhost, can be found here:

If you want similar functionality, and don't care about wildcard DNS, you might check out the [url=http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/]Lyceum[url].
