Thanks for putting this together.

I've been able to setup multisite as follows:

sub.domain.edu
sub.domain.edu/site2

However, when I'm in the admin section for site2, any changes I attempt to make are global. Such that if I'm here: http://sub.domain.edu/site2/admin, clicking on any option in the admin panel brings me back to here: http://sub.domain.edu/admin/...

Does multisite allow you to have multiple sites that can each be administered independently of one another?
