    Thanks again for your great help Andrea.

    Not only did I need to enable mod_rewrite (which I thought was already done), I also needed to set

    AllowOverride All

    in the relevant directory section in my default vhost config.

    Now all I have to do is work out how to redirect a request to youhoop.co.uk/news to fyssh.net/blog/youhoop without changing the URL in the browser location bar ….

    Ok great. It’s a little clearer now.

    I should have enough now to dive in and redo the site as subfolders. I’ll check in the docs about doing the “plain” sites as pages.

    Many thanks Andrea!

    Aha there she is! 😀

    Becasue you can’t do this. Not with wordpress or anything else – you cannot map a domain address with a folder name. no matter the platform.

    That confirms my suspicion – thanks for clearing that up.

    Ok so I will go with what you suggest. Should I switch to using subfolders for my multisite?
    How for example do I then do youhoo.co.uk as a straight html website, and youhoo.co.uk/news as one of my WP blogs?

    What you’re saying seems to imply that I don’t even have to config anything in my Apache vhosts ….

    Thanks for your thoughts Roy.

    Of course I have followed the various multisite guides out there … but I can’t find any instructions to be able to map a newly-created subdomain site to a subfolder on my existing domain, ie ….

    my main domain: fissh.net

    create a new blog at: youhoo.fissh.net

    Map this new blog
    (and thus have it publicly addressable) at: youhoo.co.uk/blog

    Can I do this? Is it possible?

    This is my main issue at the moment.

    Any takers out there? Andrea? 😀
