I am running WPMU 2.8.4a on a dedicated server with multiple dedicated ip address pools (running cPanel). The main MU installation uses a deedicated ip address, but I don't want it shared with any other blogs on the MU system, I want them to each have their own ip.</p> <p>What I would like to do is have MU automatically assign a new dedicated ip address for each new blog that is setup. I have the system set to use subdomains so ie: subdomain.domain.tld ... domain.tld is on the main server dedicated ip ... when I get blog1.domain.tld initialized, I would like it have a separate, new dedicated ip assigned to it so it does not use the same ip address as the other blogs/subdomains. An so on with blog2.domain.tld, blog3.domain.tld, etc ...</p> <p>If I can get it to do this using one dedicated ip per subdmoain, or even up to maybe 5 subbdomains per dedicated ip, that would be awesome but I looked all over and couldn't find an answer to this question ...</p> <p>Any ideas and is this even possible?</p> <p>Running CentOS and cPanel on a dedicated server.</p> <p>TIA! </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15162#post-87202 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:00:57 +0000 andrea_r 87202@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>You need a multi-Site plugin, which is slightly different than domain mapping.</p> <p>make <a href="http://city1.example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://city1.example.com/</a> a Site in mu and..

Set the base path to '/', and permalinks only work when run at the root level of whatever server it's on. Set the base path to '/blogs/', and it only works properly when run from the '/blogs/' path on its server.</p> <p>So, you could install wordpress mu in, say, a '/wpmu/' directory, have its .htaccess file use '/' as the base path and host every subdomain blog from within that directory. Then pretty permalinks will work for subdomains.</p> <p>Then create a second directory. '/blogs/', and in it create a copy of the .htaccess file but leave the directory otherwise empty. In that second .htaccess file, set the base path to '/wpmu/' to point to the directory that the software's actually installed in.</p> <p>Now, theoretically, you should be able to launch wordpress mu successfully, pretty permalinks and all, from either the '/blogs/' path on the main domain or the '/' path on subdomains.</p> <p>(I won't try this because I'm happy with my all-subdomains solution for now.) </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14606#post-84262 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:54:26 +0000 richcon 84262@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>I seem to have figured out a solution. The WPMU installation needs to be on the root level of its own subdomain (blogs.example.com), which lets me leave the main web site alone.</p> <p>Normally this would give a hosted blog a URL like coolblog.blogs.example.com, when I want coolblog.example.com. To fix that, I went in to the mysql database by hand (dangerous, I know), opened up the options table for each blog, and changed everywhere its URL appears to the correct URL. It seems to be working now, though I'll know better after running it through some heavier tests.</p> <p>I couldn't use this approach while the main install is in a path, because pretty permalinks would break without some very creative edits to .htaccess. I'd rather not go mucking with it, so I went with the all-subdomains solution. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14606#post-84259 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:38:09 +0000 richcon 84259@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm trying to install WordPress MU on a web site with existing content in the root folder. So WPMU cannot be installed in the root folder, but rather in the subfolder 'blogs/'. The URL for WPMU would be something like:</p> <p><a href="http://example.com/blogs/" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/blogs/</a></p> <p>However, I want to use subdomains for hosted blogs. Unfortunately this means that the URL WPMU comes up with for each of them would be something like:</p> <p><a href="http://coolblog.example.com/blogs/" rel="nofollow">http://coolblog.example.com/blogs/</a></p> <p>I really want to drop that trailing 'blogs/' path, so I'd get something like:</p> <p><a href="http://coolblog.example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://coolblog.example.com/</a></p> <p>I can handle parking the coolblog.example.com subdomain in the WPMU installation folder. I just need WPMU to be aware that there's no '/blogs' path at the end of the URL.</p> <p>(Alternately, I could move the WPMU installation into its own subdomain, blogs.example.com, but I'd still want its hosted blogs to have their own second-level domain, *not* coolblog.blogs.example.com.)</p> <p>Is there any way to do this?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Rich </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14134#post-81913 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 17:29:47 +0000 crespeto 81913@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>thanks, I looked over my .htaccess and it was a match for that I swear, but apparently it was different, when I replaced it with the htaccess.dist file everything started working properly.
