    Wordpress Network setup issue

    Hi,

    I am in the process of setting up a wordpress network according to this article:
    Create A Network – Advanced Administration Handbook | Developer.WordPress.org
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
    You have the ability to create a network of sites by using the multisite feature. This article contains instructions for creating a…


    I am trying to create a network with wildcard subdomains

    Sub-domains -- like site1.example.com and site2.example.com

    and I am instructed to:

    Apache must be configured to accept wildcards.
    1. Open up the httpd.conf file or the include file containing the VHOST entry for your web account.
    Add this line:

    ServerAlias *.example.com

    2. In the DNS records on your server, add a wildcard subdomain that points to the main installation. It should look like:

    A *.example.com

    however I am unable to find the httpd.conf file on my server.
    Is it true that I do not have access to this file and will be unable to setup this configuration? (according to this thread https://forums.dathorn.com/showthread.php?p=7382 )

    Please let me know if there is a workaround or a way to resolve this or is there a recommended configuration when setting up a wordpress network on Dathorn.

      You do not have access to the server's httpd.conf. You can, however, simply add a wildcard subdomain via cPanel by entering a * in the subdomain field.

          I was reading this forum on getting the wild cards to work.

          I have set it up where my wp mu works with multi site when running a subdomain ie. subdomain.mydomain.com
          however when I setup the site to redirect from another url
          ie
          mydomain2.com - subdomain.mydomain.com

          then I have issues with everything working right.
          It appears as though the redirect works fine however I am unable to log-in under wp admin

          I can give you more specific links if needed I would just rather not post them to the forum until the sites are finished.

              If you have mydomain2.com purely redirecting (not rewriting or anything like that) to subdomain.mydomain.com (subdomain.mydomain.com is then showing up in the URL bar), then this will be no different than visiting subdomain.mydomain.com directly. Beyond that there's not much that can be said here without further details. You can submit a ticket if you wish.
