WordPress MU

After I installed WPMU, the URL of a blog is "http://blog1.mydomain.com/wpmu/". Is there a way to rename "/wpmu/" without messing upthe site? Or I have to re-install the whole thing?

Thanks

the "easiest" way is to just wipe and reinstall. However it *can* be done manually if you are comfortable with changing a few rows in your database. :)

I also noticed that .htaccess file has the reference to the name. So I guess I just reinstall it though I am comfortable changing the database.

Thanks

Before you go through a re-install or start chaninging your db, did you install into a directory named wpmu, or did you install at root? This will affect what you can do to change what you want to change.

Anytime,

let us know if you need more help :)

I installed it under /public_html/wpmu/ directory.

Thanks

Go with Andrew's suggestion and re-install it, but make sure you install it into /public_html/blog (or whatever you want the folder to be) or you will end up with the same problem.

Thanks for the reply.
I have another related question. When I register a blog at wordpress.com, my blog URL will be "http://myblog.wordpress.com", instead of "http://myblog.wordpress.com/WPMU/" in my case. Is this because they installed directly under the web root or somthing else?

Please advise. Thanks.

yep, wp.com installed directly in their root directory. :)

You guys have been great. Thanks a lot for the clarification.
