 * I have given up on this as i realize I can’t create a multisite install of WordPress
   in a subfolder using lighttpd and I do not wish to install wordpress in the rootfolder
   of my domain being that I wish to run an existing website there.
    I tried all
   kinds of configurations and realize it won’t work the way i want it too.
 * One question I have what besides convenience and easy of use is the benefit of
   using WP Multisite as opposed to create individual installs into subfolders or
   sub-domains?
 * Thank you all for you help.

 * Andrea,
 * You are right. I think the issue is a PHP error (how do i access or locate the
   error log for php?). I setup the my.cnf file on my mac and this resolved many
   of the errors I found when logging into phpmyadmin.
 * There must be something I still am missing because I still can’t upload images.
   Using the flash uploader it does show the image at 100% crunching but that is
   as far as I get. With the browser uploader there still is a blank screen and 
   in both cases, no file is uploaded. This must also relate to the permalink issue
   as I cannot get the new sites links or themes to work.
 * I will keep checking the boards and tinkering until I find a solution. It seems
   as if most are using apache with wordpress.
 * Stay well.

 * Andrea,
 * Thanks I will try to use the mod_rewrite instructions they provide for Lighttpd.
   I think I had it working once with the single user WP.
 * THanks for clarifying question 11.
 * I know this sounds silly but how do you “manually” upload images in wordpress
   posts?
 * Or should I just up load the images to the blogs.dir folder? I tried to upload
   images using the Media Library but this gave the same “blank screen” result.
 * THanks again for all your support.
 * Cmweb
