The example which I tried)
1. Installation of joomla
Database Prefix: master_
2. Installation of JMS
3. A slave site is set as a subdirectory using JMS.
site ID: site1
Domain name: {site_url}/multisites/{site_id}
Deploy directory: {site_dir}
Database Prefix: site1_
4. Log In to "
***.**.com/multisites/site1/administrator"
5. "Site"->"Global Configuration "->"SEO Settings"->"Search Engine Friendly URLs"--"Yes"->Save
6. When it tries to go into a Master site, URL is "
***.**.com", but appearance is a slave site(site1).
7. It will be rewritten if "configuration.php" which is in root of a master site by FTP is seen, and it has become "configuration.php" of the slave site(site1).
8. "Search Engine Friendly URLs" had not become "yes" although the "Global Configuration" of the slave site(site1) was checked.

Once it uninstalled joomla, it tried anew, but it was the same result.
If it is that this problem is special, it may be my server's problem.
Therefore, I also check a server field setup once.
