It's quite alright! MU itself is (relatively) new and can be a bit tricky to set up under certain conditions (such as a shared hosting environment)

This is the only thread I've found on the topic (here at surmunity), so I'm sure it will become a source of info for other users as they come along. In fact the mu.wordpress.org forum is riddled with the exact same questions I have. I find the open forums there to be very "loud on the eyes" so I decided to start here. I certainly have no issue with reviving an old topic. Beter to keep things alive then scatter everything with new topics all over the place. :-)

Besides, anything I find out will be a help to others here, something I very much advocate. This thread could very well save someone a lot of time by not having to go over to the mu forums to sift through the vast amount of posts. Still highly recommended though.

lol, and I agree with your previous post. In fact, I came straight to the forum here, when my test account didn't create the sub-domain, and did a global search for "wpmu" the moment I found out I was going to have to deal with httpd.conf

I sure knew what the accronym was!

I was wondering how you felt about MU after you installed it. You have an extensive background with computers in general. Any thoughts? Oh, and to answer your original question that started this post, your on a reseller account, so you shouldn't have issue at all with subdomain creation; at least that's what I gather from all the reading I've done so far.

Your in a much more enviable position than I when it comes to your hosting solution ;-)

Well, I'm off for the moment. I'll have to deal with my subdomain wildcard issue a bit later; my DNS is on-again off-again with propagation, so that leaves me in the dark with development testing. ( I failed to mention it's on a newly purchased domain, but more on that later ;-))
