In network admin I only see the main site under ‘Sites’ and not the 3 others? In addition I am missing plugins from my child sites and the theme that I have added in Network admin is not listed under themes in the child.

Have I done something blatently wrong?

Thanks!

I’m not sure if what I want to do is possible.
we have three separate sites site1.com, site2.com, site3.com.

blog.site1.com has existed for ages.
blog.site2.com has existed for a few months and only has 2 posts.
blog.site3.com doesnt exist yet.

I setup blog.site1.com in multisite mode, using subdomains.

In a dev copy I’ve been experimenting, but each new site I create seems to get created as say fred.blog.site1.com and mary.blog.site1.com.

If I edit the wp-site table, what should the path and domain be?
should i set domain to blog.fred.com and path to fred, as thats hopefully the end result?

Well, I did it. You inspired my direction. Instead of mapping the domain, or changing the vHost file. I managed to install WordPress3 on the back of a domain, before its public folder. Then, each account created on the server is simply bootstrapped to that common install. All it takes is one index file to locate the install and a few config settings. Viola! Instant no domain mapping, no vHost modification multi domain install! Pheww….

Cheers.

Not quite. wp-content would be the same so plug-ins and themes are shared across all sites but there is a sub folder called blogs.dir/{blog_id}/ that would have the individual sites uploads in it. If you want a different wp-content folder for each site you’d have to do something before the appropriate constant is set.

I am working with WP to try and separate the core from the content. What your saying is this tutorial would do that?

I’m basically trying to set the wp-content folder to their corresponding accounts. (ie, their domain). So each domain name carries their own wp-content folder and the WP core is in a common location.
