https://wpmututorials.com/basics/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-creating-a-network-of-multiple-sites-in-3-0/

now i feel stupid ?? thanks. i went ahead and installed the network and as you said, pretty much exactly what i wanted. thank you very much Mr. B

You have a good day now

one last question relating.

when i have installed the network on the root address. how do i make sure the new users blogs fall into a sub directory. for example.

https://www.mysite.com

and i want the new blog to always be created at:
https://www.mysite.com/blog/newusername

currently they are being created at : https://www.mysite.com/newusername

and after someone can show me how this is possible, can you also show me if its possinle to create all new posts to follow this format:
blogs.mysite.com/newusername

thanks again
and i look forward to your reply

i LOVE wordpress

You have to put the install in that /blogs/ folder to get what you want.

that sounds strigh forward, but could u be more specific please.

do u mean the install of wordpress? if so that wouldnt work for me because the main blog needs to be located at https://www.mysite.com

its just the user blogs that need to be placed at:
https://www.mysite.com/blogs/____HERE____

so more detailed instructions would be very much appreciated.
thanks

then you still need a multisite install located in the /blogs/ folder on the server.

You can’t have wordpress at mysite.com, then have the blogs one folder down. Not out of the box, not without another install.

the addresses are formed directly off where the installation is.

In other words, if you want:
https://www.mysite.com/blogs/____HERE___

then wordpress needs to be installed at:
https://www.mysite.com/blogs/

No, you can’t do htaccess magic to force what you want.

(though I will note if you also want to use buddypress and have a social network, it actually creates a PAGE called /blogs/ and gives a directory of all the blogs on the system. which will still be at https://www.mysite.com/)
