>>The fundamental question is: where does www.domain1.com/wiki/ point
in the file system?
domain1.com should point to /var/vhosts2/henrik/public_html/domain1/
and domain1.com/wiki/ should point to
/var/vhosts2/henrik/public_html/domain1/wiki/
but the user should see domain1.com/wiki/ in the URL field
IOW domain1, the public root for domain1.com
(/var/vhosts2/henrik/public_html/domain1/) is a subdirectory under
example.com (/var/vhosts2/henrik/public_html/)
