wpmu is different it requires some setting to be on in your httpd.conf n php.ini
Apache
14 ======
15 Apache must be configured so that mod_rewrite works. Here are
16 instructions for Apache 2. Apache 1.3 is very similar.
17
18 1. Make sure a line like the following appears in your httpd.conf
19 LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
20
21 2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this
22 line
23 "AllowOverride None"
24 and change it to
25 "AllowOverride FileInfo Options"
26
27 3. In the <VirtualHost> section of the config file for your host there
28 will be a line defining the hostname. You need to add the following
29 if you want virtual hosts to work properly:
30 "ServerAlias *.domain.tld"
31 Replace domain.tld with whatever your one is, and remove the quotes.
32
33
34 DNS
35 ===
36 If you want to host blogs of the form http://blog.domain.tld/ where
37 domain.tld is the domain name of your machine then you must add a
38 wildcard record to your DNS records.
39 This usually means adding a "*" hostname record pointing at your
40 webserver in your DNS configuration tool.
41 Matt has a more detailed explanation:
42 http://photomatt.net/2003/10/10/wildcard-dns-and-sub-domains/
43
44
45 PHP
46 ===
47 1. Don't display error messages to the browser. This is almost always
48 turned off but sometimes when you're testing you turn this on and forget
49 to reset it.
50
51 2. If your PHP is compiled with memory limit checks, the default is 8MB
52 which is much too small. You should increase this to at least 32MB or 64MB
53 to avoid PHP out of memory errors. Look for "memory_limit" in your php.ini
54 file.
55
56 3. GLOBAL variables must be turned off. This is one of the first things
57 any security aware admin will do. These days the default is for it to
58 be off!
59
60 The easiest way of configuring it is via the .htaccess file that is
61 created during the install. If you haven't installed WPMU yet then edit
62 the file htaccess.dist in this directory and add these two lines at the
63 top:
64
65 php_flag register_globals 0
66 php_flag display_errors 0
67
68 This is NOT included in that file by default because it doesn't work on
69 all machines. If it doesn't work on your machine, you'll get a cryptic
70 "500 internal error" after you install WPMU. To remove the offending lines
71 just edit the file ".htaccess" in your install directory and you'll see
72 them at the top. Delete and save the file again.
73 Read here for how to enable this: http://ie.php.net/configuration.changes
74
75 If you don't want to edit your .htaccess file then you need to change your
76 php.ini. It's beyond the scope of this README to know exactly where it is
77 on your machine, but if you're on a shared hosted server you probably
78 don't have access to it as it requires root or administrator privileges
79 to change.
80
81 If you do have root access, try "locate php.ini" or check in:
82
83 /etc/php4/apache2/php.ini
84 /usr/local/lib/php.ini
85
86 Once you have opened your php.ini, look for the sections related to
87 register_globals and display_errors. Make sure both are Off like so:
88
89 display_errors = Off
90 register_globals = Off
91
92 You'll have to restart Apache after you modify your php.ini for the
93 settings to be updated.
94
95 4. If you want to restrict blog signups, set the restrict domain email
96 setting in the admin.

So does Hostgator allows that?

Any other shared host allow to install WP MU?
