    I am running a wordpress multisite in the my root directory:
    public_html/

    I want to also install another instance of wordpress and a drupal multisite but don’t want to do it w/in the wordpress multisite installation.

    My questions:
    Can I run a wordpress multisite out of a subdirectory in my root directory?
    If so what are the steps to moving it there (if it’s dangerous I may not do it as I’m running a few clients sites on there…)?

    Thanks for the help and advice!

    Yes, if you’re using subfolder URLs. Just keep in mind your URLs are changing to domain.com/folder/wahtever now.

    If so what are the steps to moving it there (if it’s dangerous I may not do it as I’m running a few clients sites on there…)?

    It’s ‘dangerous’ but make backups and you should be okay…

    The trick is that you’re moving to a folder, so you’ll have to check the wp_blogs table to make sure everything gets updated, and the wp-config.php will need a tweak to the base location (normally it’s /, so yours’ll be /folder/)

    Thanks Ipstenu, you’re the bees knees. I’ll repost if and when I run into any problems!
