 * Please read through the material in the previous post 🙂
 * Be advised that WP multisite is a rather advanced process.

 * okay, i have read that. but i havent done in that way. right now i have made 
   3 folders in htdocs. one is root folder. installed wordpress in each folder as
   normally we do giving separate database by editing wp-config.php file.
 * i have developed these 3 sites now but how to join them. how to develop connection
   between them.
 * there are mainly two parts of my site. so at the index page it will ask the user
   where he wants to go..and according to the choice he makes it will redirect to
   the respective section.
 * so how can i achieve this..plz help..thanx

 * sorry to piggy back.
    but I tried something similar I want two wordpress blogs
   on ports 8080 and 8081 I have them eventually working by decompressing the software
   to two their respective directories. then each have their own config.php in each
   config folder. which specify to use differnt databases.
 * I tried other things like
    * symlinks and trying to put config.php in parent 
   directory
 * I can see mount-binds doing the job but don’t want to use that.
 * Is there a way a single untargz of the wordpress software can be served by a 
   webserver using two differnt config.php on two different url/paths

 * internally the wordpress code seems heavily reliant on __FILE__ which uses dereferences
   symlinks and exposes filesystem paths.
