Bertrand
i took a look at your post (et j’habite Toulouse et parle bien le francais). i was aiming for a solution that did not require any separate directory structures and, I’m still not sure why this cannot be easily done. as per my other post, i need to dig more into the url rewriting code to see what’s going on. WP is such a pain to debug…

on your second comment: i don’t really understand what you’re saying. i was using $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] as it seemed to me that the distinction between blogs could be articulated through the url. however it does occur to me that this does not deal with separate blog urls like http://www.example.com/blog and http://www.example.com/blog1 etc. your solution handles this much more elegantly.

For me, I want all my blogs to be simply virtual hosts pointing at the same directory.

Yo have better control in multiblog installation it would be fine to modify db.php with :
if(!defined(“PDODIR”)) define (“PDODIR”, ABSPATH.’/wp-content/pdo/’);
if(!defined(“FQDBDIR”)) define (‘FQDBDIR’, ABSPATH .’/wp-content/database/’);
if(!defined(‘FQDB’)) define (‘FQDB’, FQDBDIR .’MyBlog.sqlite’);
and then you can fix this parameters in wp-config.php

Well,
I made a very simple way to make multiblog with very few modification on wordpress. The idea is to have a directory by bog with index.php, wp-config.php and wp-content then to pass the path to wp-config with a session variable.
for the moment it seems to wotk fine with wp2.6 and basic themes. I got the idea reading http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
