Any wordpress MU experts out there?

Contacting you now

Thanks. All this stuff throws my head through loops.

you need to have wildcard domains enabled, after that it's business as usual

I'll post more details here:

I have the following setup to attempt to get blogs to work like this: wordpress mu(latest version) is setup on in domain.com/blog/ I have it set up so new blogs are set up as subdomains x.domain.com/blog/. The blogs themselves seem to work superficially from that address. I have existing niched sites set up in x.domain.com (or domain.com/x/). When I click on any of the links or the post titles, archives, tags, whatever in x.domain.com/blog/ it redirects to x.domain.com.

My hosting company is completely perplexed as to how to fool with the rewrite rules to get this working correctly. It was hard enough to get wordpress mu to work with my structure in the first place. If you guys have any advice, explanations or answers, it would be greatly appreciated. *domain.com isn't actually the domain, just an example.

This is in my apache config

RewriteEngine On
# mod_dir fix
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*\.)?([^\.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%2%{REQUEST_URI}/ -d
RewriteRule [^/]$ http://%2.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# strip sub subdomains
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*\.([^\.]+\.domain\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

# abc.domain.com/def --> /subs/abc/def
##RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%1/ -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewriter.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
#UseCanonicalName off
#VirtualDocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/domain.com/%-2.0.%-1/%-3


This is in my document root

<Files feed>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

<Files visit>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

ErrorDocument 403 http://www.domain.com/
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com/

#This part changes and subfolders to use subfolder.domain.com
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^$
#RewriteRule (.*)/? http://$1.domain.com/ [R]


#This changes the document root of part.domain.com to a folder
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
#RewriteRule %{HTTP_HOST} (.*).domain.com [NC]
#RewriteRule (.*) /%1/$1 [R]

I havea feeling this is something super simple like changing the rewritebase in the htaccess in my /blog dir.

wildcard subdomains are already active.

I'm not an expert in .htaccess but it seems OK at first sight. Just a question: in WP admin, do you have WP to direct to root or /blog?

that .htaccess looks like mine i posted a year ago for the subdomain hack

/blog......

Anybody using buddypress here?

Blog link networks FTW

It may have been. I pulled sources from here and over places on the web for mojohost to look through. Do you have any ideas on how to accomplish what i want to do?

try this htaccess or append the <IfModule mod_security.c> part to your htaccess

I already have that section in there.

If you're just talking about subfolders as subdomains in general, I've had that in place since 2004 or 5.

ROFLMAO. I knew it HAD to be something simple. I changed vhosts from "no" to "yes" and everything works fine now. Everyone missed it pulling out their hair(no one more than myself) for a very long time.

It reminds me of fixing/building computers back in the day. I'd think of every problem a pc could have when around 90% of the time it was the simplest thing I should have tried first. Thak you to everyone who tried to help. I feel like such a moron.
