   Hi,

   I had the same problem as this guy http://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-url-4.
   Answering his question Andrea said that he made some errors with installation. Kharvari wrote: 'So, I need to install directly into the hosting account and not in a folder'

   I don't understand his answer, I followed tutorial when installing and put everything into a folder - I created special one on my hosting account (= on my server)i.e. public html and put there WP files.

   My blog works, but I have problems with url and domain.
   What shall I do to put my domain into my blog, now I have following address http://www.myservername/public.html/wordpress ?

   Thank in advance for your answer

   If you want WordPress MultiSite to run out of myservername.com then you install WordPress in the ROOT of your HTML server.

   On most server's it's a folder called public_html or www. If that's not yours, ask your web host.

   I contacted my web host. They said that type of server I ve got allow to put me WP files in any place on the server. My problem ,according to them, is caused by wrong configuration of .htaccess (Mod Rewrite)- they suggested to go to IT specialist.

   I ask kindly for help. Below I put down my .htaacces. What shall I change?

   Thanks in advance

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
   # uploaded files
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
   
   # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

   That is correct, BUT, you (and they) need to listen to WHAT I said :)

   If you want WordPress MultiSite to run out of myservername.com then you install WordPress in the ROOT of your HTML server.

   Okay read that a couple times. That's not a SERVER requirement, it's a WordPress one. Tell your host. They need to learn that one.

   My problem ,according to them, is caused by wrong configuration of .htaccess (Mod Rewrite)- they suggested to go to IT specialist.

   Yeah, no. That .htaccess is 100% correct for using WordPress MultiSite with subfolders. Tell your host that the .htaccess is right, but their SERVER setup isn't handling it correctly, and can they turn on AllowOverride to ALL

   Give them this link too: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#Apache_Virtual_Hosts_and_Mod_Rewrite
