Any other developers who are interested in helping with the project, I have a subversion server set up so all of us can work on it at once. email me at chris (at) coggburn [dot] us and I will give you info for accessing the repository.

I'm not a developer but this sounds grand. Goodluck

I'm not firmly stuck on PHP. If somebody takes this, and does something similar in any other language, I'll be just as happy. The point is just a first step towards something that would make it viable to open a WordPress farm.

I have a solution which just allowed me to install 30 WordPress blogs in under five minutes. I'll post details about it later.

It involves one shell script, one php script, a textfile with a list of users to create weblogs for, and an image directory of a WordPress install, tweaked to your liking (with symlinks where it is possible if you like them).

We have just made a wordpress installer that install multiple wordpress blogs to any cpanel webserver.

Yes you can install 1000 wordpress blogs with 1 click!

Do I need to create a long list of sub domains in order to make these WP installers work?

Hi,
I am wanting to do a multi-blog install on one site. Very interested in your ideas. Tried to check on thiscomment:

but it could not be found.

I am very new to blogging, wordpress, and php. I have studied and implimented wp, over the last 2-3 months. Alot of studying.

I need help with the multi-blog install. Can I get help with it, and directions to a simple install script?

Thanks,
Tom

This website does not exist! http://www.wpinstaller.com. Does anyone know if this ever existed and/or if it exists somewhere else?

Doug--

I just tried www.wpinstaller.com and it was there for me... Some of the links are broken but if you use the ones in the right hand menu, those work...

I'm pretty new to WordPress but this idea (provisioning blogs in bulk) is definitely of interest to me. I can think of projects where this woudl come in enormously handy.

I think MU Wordpress may be a better option, though, as it's from the real WordPress team and likely to be widely used and tested.

Would seem you'd want a different variable for the subdirectory name rather than your login user id. that way, you could get some additional seo factors out of the blog directory structure.

There are scripts out on the market that will do this already. not sure if you're friend is going to do it for free or not.
