Just curious to see if anyone has the MU version of WP installed and running. I've considered using it in a business environment, but wondered if in the shared environment of a reseller account if the subdomain creation part would work...

I've just installed it and am playing around with some of the other options, but haven't done that, yet.

You're talking about the multi-user version? Try to avoid acronyms when they're not as likely to be known.

I hope everyone knows what MU means... being that we are all geek heads here.

Oh no not a bunch of geek heads in one place. Hay that sounds like a geek party

I've seen a few queries about Wordpress MU but never see anything positive or negative on how good it works and what not.

Wordpress rocks I may go back to using it soon. Well this Fall when I get back to a project idea I have on the drawing board.

But if it is setup right and scripted well seems like it would be great.

I think WP must be the easiest to install 'blog' app there is as well. I've tried installing a few others and it was always a total mess.

Hey folks, I just installed MU, and I am wondering if I have to contact support to get them to update my account for vhosts, so that new users have name.domain.com when they register.

I'm on a shared hosting account for now, but if this takes off with popularity, I will have to move to VPS, but thats something I'll consider at later date.

Am I correct in that I have to ask someone to update my http.conf with this:

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /home/totally/public_html
ServerAdmin webmaster

mydomain.com
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
</VirtualHost>

I also found this incredibly helpful post for those of you who are running cPanel/WHM

http://www.blogopreneur.com/2006/11/...nelwhm-server/

This is for those of you who are going to use the sub.domain.com for new user registrations.

Essentially, it explains about using wildcards in your httpd.conf (*.domain.com) where (*) is the username.

I also should add, hat this is for reseller accounts. I'm on a shared hosting plan myself, so it doesn't help me, but may help someone else.

You should be able to add the subdomain yourself. I wonder if there were some automated way to do that.
