    i have wpmu installed on a subdomain, blog.domain.com

    i want subdirectory urls for other blogs (blog.domain.com/child)

    i have made the following DB edits -

    wp_blog (domain, path)
    wp_(blogid)_options (home)

    I've deleted my .htaccess file and still it does not work.

    I get a 404 apache error.

    wp-config.php

    Change vhosts=yes to NO.

    I just answered your other thread about editing the vhsots file. If you want subfolder blogs, you DO NOT need to edit that file.

    k so it worked for the creation of new blogs now to subdirectories, but when i try to go to the new blog, I still get a 404 error.

    Since then, i've also tried:

    - fresh upload of wpmu in a new directory within the primary website's (www) directory.

    - Renamed the old htaccess file so that it wpmu wouldnt get confused. (i read somewhere that it does)

    - Ran the install-index

    - chose directories for new blogs

    - set domain to: blog.mydomain.com

    - entered in existing database details

    And still no success...

    At this point, I'll settle for instructions for the best way to start over and set it up so that it works, instead of trying to fix what I have somehow screwed up. Then I'll just import my posts, etc.

    And check the permalinks on the main blog. the subfolder blogs use mod_rewrite.
