Hi Nikhil
yes I +read that–my host does not supply an option to set multisite when installing– so I installed the wp and made the multisite adjustments to .htaccess file and the config file after basic installation and then got started (running)— I was not sure about the permalinks so set that to the second last option in the settings— also I am not sure about the database — so I left it as the basic config change code as provided in the instructions– I started to load the new theme and plugins(yet to load buddypress and s2member) — I will see if there are issues after I start to add the subdomains —- The url is — groupsoz.com
Thanks
Montaya
