   Hey folks,

   I installed WordPress with MultiSite Support on a directory:
   http://www.servername.de/wordpress

   Now the website is ready and should be accessible under http://www.mydomain.de instead of the link above.

   I tried to install domain mapping plugin but it doesn't work because I didn't install wordpress in the root direcotry (here: http://www.servername.de/).

   So how can I get the new url workin? of course I can add a redirect via the webhoster but then the servername url will be shown in the browser.

   Just thought about 2 options:
   1) moving wordpress files to the root
   2) editing files and database manual for a url replacement ?!

   but in both cases I don't know the exact way to do. Any suggestions?

   Only Problems with multisite :(

   There's your problem. You can't do that.

   Move WordPress from /wordpress to just http://www.servername.de/

   How can this be done correctly?

   What files / databases will I have to edit exactly?

   In the wp-config.php I have the following entries:

   PHP Code:
   

   define ('MULTI-SITE', true);
   define ('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
   $ Base = '/ dev / wordpress /';
   define ('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'name.server4you.de');
   define ('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/ dev / wordpress /');
   define ('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
   define ('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

   , and my dev / wordpress / .htaccess looks like this:
   PHP Code:
   

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase / dev / blog /
   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]
   RewriteCond% {REQUEST_FILENAME}-d
   RewriteRule ^ - [L]
   RewriteRule ^ ([_0-9a-zA-Z-wp-]+/)?( (content | admin | includes) .*) $ 2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^ ([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*. php) $ $ 2 [L]
   RewriteRule. index.php [L]

   Database entries, I'd have to modify in the following Dabell by hand:

   DEVwp_postmeta
   DEVwp_site
   DEVwp_options
   DEVwp_blogs
   DEVwp_usermeta

   Since I've at least found a direct URL entries.

   And Moving WordPress Multisite which is, alas, more complicated :(

   Yeah and that's the big problem! :(

   Seem to me that the only way to get worpdress working on the "LIVE URL" is to setup a new multisite system and integrating the old one?

   Think that will be very hard too?!

   Backup and Importing the old stuff would lead into similar problems?

   If you edit the files, move everything, and then search the database for /foldername/ (whatever / dev / wordpress / really is), you SHOULD be able to just change that to / and be okay, but make backups first!

   No, not necessarily.

   In *your* case, since the original install is off in a subfolde,r then yes.

   But it is not true for everyone.
