well, its not really hacking…
cant help it if app doesnt let me install it if files are in a directory.

no workaround for that 🙂

Ok. I ll try and make this sort. You need some advanced knowledge to make it correct. I wont explain stuff a developer should know like wildcard dns, etc.

Ok . here goes:

1) put wordpress 3 files in a directory (e.g wordpress) in the the root of your site. /siteroot/wordpress/
2) edit wp-admin/network.php
change the line :
function allow_subdomain_install() {
to :
function allow_subdomain_install() {return true;
3)install wordpress. Before final step edit wp-config.php and put the lines:
define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
on top of the file.
After install edit again and put define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); like standard guidelines explained in wordpress codex.

After you setup the network put the lines suggested in wp-config.php but change:
$base = ‘/wordpress/’;
to
$base = ‘/’;
4)
For the .htaccess follow the following instructions:

.htaccess on root : add these lines
##########################
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.clubefl\.gr
RewriteCond $1 !wordpress/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress/$1 [NC,L]

.htaccess on wordpress directory:
##########################
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /wordpress/
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]
######################

That’s all. This worked for my site. Please post your successful or not tries.
