Can you install / activate the multisite when the install is in a subfolder?

Question

I have primarydomain.com and an addondomain.com

addondomain.com points to primarydomain.com/addondomain

I have installed 2 seperate installs of wordpress on primarydomain.com and primarydomain.com/addondomain

Can I activate multisite on primarydomain.com/addondomain as addondomain.com?

My reason for this is these are two separate sites with two separate functions, so I wanted to use separate databases. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible, as long as you use addondomain.com to access the Multisite.

Answer 2

For the subdomains, if you have access to Apache you can enable the wildcards for the add-on domain.

if not, and you only have cpanel, you're stuck. on most shared hosts, the wildcard record goes to the primary domain only.
