Subdomain requires the use of wildcard subdomains setup on the server.
Subfolders stuff a /blog/ in the permalinks off the main blog. In a new blog this is not a bigge, but if this happened on an older blog with established traffic it would mess up your links.
You can override it by installing one way and then editing the files for the other way.
what is the implications for me to use a sub.domain instead of a sub/directories. Is it a problem with SEO ? Will it be working with my plugins Multisite language switcher ?
Other than the permalinks, there are none. No seo issue,s no plugin issues. Just a preference.
Sorry, what do you mean by : “You can override it by installing one way and then editing the files for the other way.”
What are the step required for me to be able ton install the new site in the network in a sub/directory ?
WP says I can’t see the images here : http://www.juliecloutier.com/network_images/firstmessageNetwork.jpg

Thank you for your help.
O, I think I got it, I had in my config file
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true );
I changed it to false and I think it will be working.
I guess this is what you meant by override it.
Thanks a lot, it is indeed working.
I completed 1 step but have another problem. I created the new site with sub-directoriy, so far so good : http://www.groupeespaces.ca is the main site and I created http://www.groupeespaces.ca/en for the english verision.
I can see the site when I go to the adress /en but I can’t see it in my list of sites in my network and I can’t login when I type : http://www.groupeespaces.ca/wp-login.php
I also do not understand why I need to login the english and why I can’t see both of the site directly within my usual login in the main site adress : http://www.groupeespaces.ca/wp-login.php
In forefox when I try to go to the dashboard it give me this error message
“The page isn’t redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.”
Any idea what I should do ?
In safari and google the message says there is too many re-directs.
Maybe it is the htaccess file, I currently have : # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Maybe I should have this instead :
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress
What do you think ?
That’s it, I am almost a “geek” LOL, I changed the hta file and it is working now.
Although I still don’t know why I can’t see the sites in my sites list when I am loged-in as the super admin of the main site.
I found out why, I have to add the main admin user as a user under the new site. Finally getting there.
