I got it working without the domains pointing to the base domain! Just with a htaccess script and some rewriting files ;)

It was quite a work but I managed to fix 3.0.1 with it.

Advantages? * Wordpress is in root folder like /home/username/domains/WP-installations/3.0.1 * No WP files in the public_html * just a htaccess and a rewrite file!

@william: if you do not understand the database talk, better check out wp-hive as I think that does what you want without having to go into code.

@syech: No, my solution does not provide that, better check wpmu, it can do what you want.

Ok, Martin. The first is: this tutorial is very nice. And according to its explaination, I assume you are a great tutor.

But the second: I’m affraid I can’t use this method. because of my purpose to create multiple SUBdomain (sorry If I capitalize the word ‘sub’. It was meant to emphasized it). Which means, I want to install wordpress in 3 subdomains, for example: http://example.com/subdomain1 , http://example.com/subdomain2 , and http://example.com/subdomain3 . And then I want the recent posts from subdomain2 and subdomain3 appear on subdomain1. After I read your response to Tiziano Luccarelli’s comment above, I guess this method is not compatible with my purpose. Right?

So if you, or someone else who read this comment, know what the best method for my purpose, will you let me know?

Thanks before.

multiblog does apparently that, more or less.

Thanks for the post. I did some googling on this topic and this is the code I use from some other site:

if ($SERVER["HTTPHOST"] == 'domain1.com') { define('DBNAME', 'databe-1'); } elseif($SERVER["HTTPHOST"] == 'domain2.com'){ define('DBNAME', 'database-2'); }else { define('DB_NAME', 'database1'); }

This works for sub-domains as well. I'm not a programmer though so I don't know which one is better.

You said "point all domains / sites to the folder where you installed it. "

but how ?

I mean i have added all the domains to my host and point all domain to same dns settings ? is there anything left in this ?
