    Ikailo or Other,

    Well, last question, I promise for right now. I indeed do have the following special files in my root, favicon.ico and sitemap.xml - I have followed your documentation but cannot seem to get wp-hive to allow me to set up 2 folders within it for "phuquocconfidential.com" and "phuquocblog.com". My intention is to create those 2 directories within the wp-hive folder, and then within those 2 directories to copy and paste the favicon.ico file and the sitemap.xml file. I tried via through Plesk and normally I can change the permissions, but cannot this time on this wp-hive folder? Ideas why or ways around this? Am I doing this correctly?

    Only place I was able the favicon.ico and sitemap.xml successfully was to these directories:

    wp-content/phuquocblog.com/
    and
    wp-content/phuquocconfidential.com/

    That is where I was able to set up the directories. Is that correct?

    Also, I have this file too in my root, sitemap.xml.gz, should I also move that into both of these folders?

    Hmm.. this sounds like a permissions issue. Because the wp-hive folder was set up programatically, it may not give you (the user) the same permissions because you are not the owner. Try setting the permissions to the wp-content folder to 777, and let it propagate to the child folders. Then delete and recreate the /wp-hive/ folder. If that works, then go back and reset the permissions on /wp-content/ to something more appropriate like 755. Have a look here for more about required permissions. You will probably need to leave the /wp-hive/ folder 777.

    You do need to have the proper structure for the special files to work: /root/wp-content/wp-hive/domain.com/robots.txt etc...

    Put the special files that currently exist in the root into the folder for the original blog eg: /wp-hive.com/firstdomain.com/robots.txt. You will need each site's special files in each domain.com directory.
