Whilst I know I can store the contents of /wpmu in the /public_html root, rverything I've read suggests it's best to maintain WPMU files in a /public_html/wpmu/ folder.
So can someone please help me with how, then, then operate user blogs like http://subdomain.domain.com and not http://subdomain.domain.com/wpmu/?
That is, how do you both separate the wpmu files *and* remove that portion of the url from user blog? Is there a bit of rewrite magic that can be done?
Notes...
1. My host has confirmed mod_rewrite is available (though I don't have access to the httpd.conf myself - so am not able to confirm availability of "AllowOverride FileInfo Options" as per readme.txt instructions).
2. My host has enabled virtual host wildcards and DNS wildcards
I am also confused about .htaccess. I am a cPanel user and have just deleted the .htaccess file I had in /public_html - how will this get replaced by the necessaries? Will I need to do it, will it happen during installation?
Thanks for your help?
