The Great Real Estate plug-in by default does not work in Wordpress MU. When you try to save your Options on the Settings page with the “Update Options” button- you get the error “Options page not found!” I updated my great-real-estate\admin\settings.php file to work seamlessly with the latest version of Wordpress MU. I am providing my settings.php file here just to be helpful, and with no guarantees except that it works for me…
Right-click link and Save Target- (make sure to remove .txt extension that I’ve added for security) Enjoy!

Getting Wordpress MU to work with subdomains on local windows machine
I’m mostly publishing this blog post for my own benefit so I don’t forget the steps I went through to accomplish the task in case I want to do it again (notes are easier to lose than blog posts). Also, while I searched around for solutions to problems I had while attempting to get things setup I had to jump around a lot. I will compile my findings and thoughts in an easy to follow manner (hopefully) for people who attempt this in the future here. I recommend you use this post in conjuction with the Wordpress MU README, and I bet both will make more sense to you.
My goal
Run Wordpress MU with unlimited subdomains locally on my windows-based laptop for development and testing purposes.
This would serve as a good substitute for the more costly hosting option of a Virtual Private Server with my hosting company (using MU with subdomains isn’t usually allowed with shared hosting plans), and also would untether me from the Internet while in development/test mode. Ultimately I do plan to buy some VPS space when/if I decide to upload any Wordpress MU solutions to Internet, but for now running it locally is all I want.
