I am hoping someone can advise me as to how to install Worpdress MU on the same url (or a subdomoain?) as my existing Wordpress site. I want to keep my basic existing site on MU but set up a member/sitename area with MU. My MU installation defaults to a 404 page. Can the two programs co-exist?
Any help would be appreciated.

Setting up multiple blogs using mu.wordpress.org is fine but what I am looking for is a common user database. I want user authentication to be the same across all blogs. How can we do that in mu.

You should probably try http://mu.wordpress.org/ is you have 1000 blogs to set up...

There's a way to install multiple blogs in different folders (/domains/www/domain1.com, /domains/www/domain2.com, /domains/www/domain3.com) using separated databases?

I mean, an automatic installation, I have to install 1,000 WP blogs :( for a customer and I only have 40 blogs installed...

any advice?

thanks,

Turox

As to B2E, I'd be fairly careful. I used the multiblog option to separate content and it works very nicely - BUT -
1) dealing with comment spam was a nightmare since 25% of the time the antispam tool denied me access the antispam page.
2) simple linking frequently took forever to work correctly
(In fairness, I never took the time to troubleshoot these two issues, so who knows why it happened)
3) B2E takes up an awful lot of server load. My webhost (spookymedia.com) told me that several hosts refuse to allow users to run it. Her solution was a server accelerator that worked by using my own bandwidth to cache pages. Thus, using B2E cost me about an eighth of my bandwidth. It was good motivation to move me to WP, though.

Did you ever get any further with this? I would like to implement a multiblog solution which enables authenticated users to automatically set up blogs. LDAP authentication would provide all the information needed to do the setup.

The b2Evolution solution doesn't appear to be a scalable solution because human beings still have to create multiple blogs. Work in an institution with thousands of students and it just don't work. In essence we want to take some basic details either from direct user entry or pulled in from authentication/authorization systems and then autogenerate the blog instance, a la Blogger.com

Considering multi-blog setup, you should look at the b2evolution.

It is an advanced blog engine, based on b2/cafelog - the same roots as WordPress.

In b2evolution the multi-blog feature is included by default and it has been there for some time already. There is also a fine-grained access control per user/blog/operations - you may enable one user to have full access to one blog and no access to other (for example).

Main developer's blog (Francois Planque blog) is a fine example of a multi-blog. It also has UTF-8 support, skins (may be different for each blog), hierarchical categories.

This does not imply you absolutely have to use b2evolution - but even if implementing multi-blog in WP, you may see how it works in b2evo. :)

I'm working on multi blog support and also on getting Smarty into WP too. Smarty is almost working fine, without caching, but the multi-blog stuff is hard if you want to run all the blogs on one host.
I went for the "thin layer" solution - mod_rewrite rules break up the URL and change URLs so that a "wpblog" variable is set to the name of the blog. A stripped down wp-config includes a wp-blogs/BLOGNAME/wp-config.php and then processing continues.
Unfortunately, I'm not an expert at writing mod_rewrite rules and it's proving to be a stumbling block.
In b2++ I redirect all requests to a redirect.php, but that turned out to be a very complex solution - I needed lots of PHP code to figure out what the URL contained. I'd rather have a thin layer any day!
