I wanted to host two blogs that share themes, code and... well... everything except the actual post data. This is the simplest way. Thanks. Brilliantly simple!

In my control panel when i create a subdomain it automatically creates a folder. I have no option to select a folder. @michael

When I define a domain or subdomain in cpanel I have to pick a directory visible to the web server to be the source of files for the domain or subdomain. For this trick all my domains and subdomains have the same single directory where wordpress is installed defined for them. This is different from pointing all domains to one domain, this trick can not work if everyone is viewing the site through the same URI. I prefer to setup explicit URI references to prevent stray wp blog creation (as opposed to the wildcard domain definition you're suggesting). If you check the code at the <a href="http://me.mywebsight.ws/2006/08/11/host-multiple-wp-sites-on-one-installation/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">linked article</a> and particularly comment number 27 you'll see why I chose to do what I've done. @Vinay

I want to have different subdomains which should run from the same wordpress installed in root. I am confused about how to point a subdomain to the main domain. Do i have to set up wildcard domains. i was searching for such type of code. I want to have different subdomains which should run from the same wordpress installed in root.
