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.
Thanks, now I understand, I will ask my web host tommorow where the folder is.
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

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

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.

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
