How to configure a multiblog wordpress on a debian box

There are several ways to make a wordpress installation usable for more than one user. see the wordpress docu for instructions.
I choose this approach and hacked a little to get it running on my debian box:

- unzip the multiblog.zip in /etc/wordpress/multiblog
- make a symbolic link from /usr/share/wordpress/multiblog/ to /etc/wordpress/multiblog
- make a symbolic link from /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php to /etc/wordpress/multiblog/wp-config.php (after saving the orginal debian wp-config.php)
- follow the instructions in the readme
- for some reasons I need to replace

"define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');"
with "define('ABSPATH', '/usr/share/wordpress/');"

in several php files.
- add an alias for every blog user in your apache.conf like this: “Alias /blog /usr/share/wordpress”

this way the setup wont get overwritten by a new wordpress version (except the link from /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config)
