I'm in the process setting up a wordpress MU site, but I need to be able to use the domain mapping plug in to point other urls to the blogs created on my wordpress mu installation. I've got the donncha plug in installed, but can't seem to get it working. I've been through numerous forums and can't seem to get it going so I'm thinking that something needs to be set up with the host in order for it to work.
Just as an example, I'm trying to map rugbymarinecadets.com to the blog that i've set up for them at rugbymarinecadets.flo-online.co.uk.
the domain mapping plug in is asking for the server IP address, I've pinged the blog and get 79.170.40.33, so have entered this.
the instructions then state:
"f you want to redirect a domain you will need to add a DNS "A" record pointing at the IP address of this server: 79.170.40.33"
I've then logged into the dns settings for rugbymarinecadets.com and set up an a record, pointing to 79.170.40.33, but this doesn't work.
My host is birchhosting.co.uk and they use Bpanel as their control panel, both domain names are registered with a easyspace and I use ZoneEdit to configure them as easyspace are a bit limited on their options.
Should I be changing any of the DNS settings on the domain name that the wordpress is installed under?
All I seem to get each time is a blank screen?
Thanks for any help you can give!
