   Hello there,

   I've installed a multisite using "subfolder" option.
   I have a main site which is linked to a secondary blog.

   I installed wordpress in a folder which is not at the root of my domain. I set all needed to have the multisite function in wp and everything was fine.

   For the exemple, the path for the main site is : "www.myDomain.com/myWordpressFolder/".
   and the second one is
   "www.myDomain.com/myWordpressFolder/my2ndBlogName".

   Now the developpement is finished, I want to remove the string "myWordpressFolder" from the url and have then :
   "www.myDomain.com/" for the main site and
   "www.myDomain.com/my2ndBlogName" for the second blog.

   The problem is... I've tried the method of copiyng the index.php (with the change expected in the require ('./myWordpressFolder/wp-blog-header.php'); line, copy the .htacces at the root of the domain. But when I want to change the Blog url, I can't change this in the General settings, I can read a line in the "Modification" page options of the main site but this one is in grey.

   I supposed it should be changed with the database but which line should I change ? I tried in the wp_options table ('home', 'siteurl') field by removing the string "myWordpressFolder" but that don't fix the problem.

   Could someone give me some help please.... ?
   Thanks in advance and sorry for my english. Tell me if you don't understand anything !

   You cannot do this with a multisite install.

   If you do not want the foldername appearing in the URL string of the sites, you *must* move the whole installation up a folder, and fix the URLS in the db.

   Or reinstall in that folder.

   Thanks for your reply...

   So there is no possibilities to have a multi site configuration installed in a subfolder (not in the root of the domain) and have a rewritting url after ?

   If not I will choose the move folder metghod I think. Is there a simple way to update the url in the database ?

   I decided to move the files to the root of my domain and tried to change the url in the database (Iv'e checked every fields).

   One problem persist concerning the plug-in.

   For example I uninstall the plug-in WPDBManager. I re-install it.
   In the plug-in page, I have the following sentence :

   "Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public"
   To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /blablabla/ddbName/www/myWordpressFolder/wp-content/backup-db" knowing that "myWordpressFolder" is the name where wordpress was installed before but not anymore.

   So I had 2 questions :

   - Is there any SQL query to check if the string "myWordpressFolder" is still somewhere in the db ?
   - Is there in wordpress a cache process which keep old informations ?

   Thanks again for your help...

   I think the next step for me is the hanging. So if you want to save the life of someone today you know what you have to do...

   Yeah, just do a search on your database via phpMyAdmin or whatever you have. Same as any SQL query.
