WordPress MU

Hi,

I have wordpress mu installed at:

root.domain.com

is it possible to create blogs with the address:

blog1.domain.com
blog2.domain.com

I can't edit/install mu at domain.com

Thanks.

no, but you could do blog1.domain.com/something

I'm not sure about this but you can have blog1.root.domain.com...

thanks.

Messing around with it,
blog1.root.domain.com
blog2.root.domain.com

were easy to create, but I don't like having that many subdomains in the url.

If
blog1.domain.com
blog2.domain.com

is not possible, as indicated by benny, I will probably do the blogs by directory rather than by subdomain..

so it will be

root.domain.com/blog1
root.domain.com/blog2

Actually, it might be possible to do what you want, but you would need to do some rewrites in .htaccess to make sure that

blog1.domain.com

actually points to

blog1.root.domain.com

But, I am not the one to explain how to do this - hopefully someone else here can share just how to do the rewrites in .htaccess could be set up to do this.

if i do create mod_rewrite rules, how would that solve the problem of WordPress creating links using the 'hidden' domain?

example, the archive links would be

blog1.root.domain.com/2008/12

or categories

blog1.root.domain.com/category/some-cat

is there a MU setting to fix this?

Probably not, at least not that I have seen. Not sure how you would do this if you can't install MU at the root. Probable best to go with a subdirectory install.
