Is it supposed to work also for a (hosted) install in /w/ in a 
sub-domain? ( like "edit.somedomain.org/w/  ). That is, does "root" in 
the example above apply also when the root directory is  
"edit.somedomain.org" ?

I never got it to work either, although I tried so many things according 
to the instructions on meta. There must be something missing in the text 
- or inside my head...
