   I have our main WordPress website installed in the root directory of our server. I'd like to install the MultiSite option in a folder within the root called "portfolio." Can I do this?

   My server is BlueHost. Ideally, the URL link would be example.com/portfolio/multisite01

   No, it isn't recommended.

   Quoting from the Codex: "Giving WordPress its own directory will not work in WordPress 3.0 with multisite enabled. It interferes with the member blog lookup."

   Sorry, that;s incorrect.

   you *can* install multisite ina folder IF you want the folder name to also be in the URL.

   The part Tim was quoting from referrs to if you wanted to put the WP files in a folder and serve the main URL from the root. that is the only spot where multisite will not work.
