    Hi,

    I have my primary Wordpress blog installed in the /public_html folder. Now i want to install WPMU on my server with blog.itechengine.com sub-domain settings.

    I tried following things..
    1) Installed it in /public_html/blogs - and i got structure like...

    newblog.itechengine.com/blogs

    2) Then i installed it it /blogs folder i.e. in the root folder - and i have structure like...

    newblog.blog.itechengine.com

    I dont want these both the cases, i just want to setup a WPMU blog which could result like....

    blog.itechengine.com
    newblog.itechengine.com and so on....

    Please help me.... Ihave tried many times and many ways but still NO LUCK... Waiting for replies....

    Best bet would be to place wpmu into the root of it's own account. As you have discovered, wpmu doesn't like being used as an addon or via a redirect.

    You can do it but you'll quickly discover it'll cause more issues down the road. Plus with most hosting setups (ie CPanel) if Apache has any issue like even a 404 that it can't deal with, it'll fall back to the main site.

    So is there any way that i can get this done... i am even ready to migrate my main blog from Wordpress to WPMU, I tried this several times but i am failed to import my DB.

    reason may be my $table_prefix = 'jt_'; than $table_prefix = 'wp_';
