I have never had a problem with this… until today! I think you jinxed me.
I made a configurable product and assigned an attribute… later I decided I wanted to change my attribute but it doesn’t seem Magento lets you change attributes for configurable products after they are created (I REALLY HOPE THEY CHANGE THAT SOON). So I made a new configurable product with the correct attribute and then I deleted my old one and I made 2 simple products… Everything is “IN STOCK” as usual and everything is enabled… but now it says my product is out of stock on the store front. Any ideas?
Ok, I found the solution to my problem.. hopefully this works for you!
Manage products, and select your configurable product… then go to associated products on the left. Under “Super product attributes configuration” make sure your simple products are listed below that and make sure they are checked, then save. Everything should work after that.
I am having the same problem as gamelodge for revision 19700 (magento 1.0) ...
Configurable products ALWAYS show Out of stock - whatever you do ... I tried everything… all my simple products are set to In Stock and inventory > 0.. My configurable product is set to In Stock… but it keeps showing Out of stock in the front end.
I strongly believe this is a bug and should be fixed soon.

First I created a configurable product.
After that I created in asoaciated products quick simple products. When creating, the simple products goes to the list at bottom of page, then I thaught everything was ok.
But when I see the product on the catalog it says “out of stock”.
My simple products have 5 each of them but my configurable product remains 0.
When I tried to follow the instructions about “super product attributes”, I realize that the simple products are not in the list and don’t know how to add them or how to do with this issue of “out of stock”
Yeah I’m having the same problem. I can’t get it to show it as stocked. In the “associated products” screen I have both items listed, they both say they’re in stock, and they’re both checked. On the configurable product inventory screen i have “manage stock: yes” and “stock availability: in stock”. Still says out of stock on the product page.
