WordPress MU

   This may be a stupid question but I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into before I start development.

   I current have a static site running for the company I work with. I want to develop a new site with MU but during development I need the current site to remain stable. So, I installed MU into a sub directory. When I go live here is what I think I need to do to transition between the two without any issues.

   • Point my directory root in httpd.conf to the subdirectory
   • Change the path in the install database from the subdirectory to root

   So my question is, is this correct? Am i doing this the hard way? If so, any suggestions on a better way to handle my situation?

   I would love any of you more experience MU users to chime in if you get a chance. Even of it's not the easiest way, and I would love the easiest way, am I correct in assuming I can do it this way?

   Yeah, that'd work.

   Andrea, thanks for the response. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to hit a huge roadblock because of flawed thinking "after" I finished development.

   I appreciate your help.

   In your case, that's probably it.
