    Hi,

    When i create a new blog from my Wordpress MU, the subdomain is not created on my hosting. and there is non existing page when i visit my new blog on subdomain. My MU instalation is on domain (domain.info)

    Error!
    Could not locate remote server

    You tried to access the address http://subdomain.domain.info/, which is currently unavailable.

    ----

    PHP Info: http://leteckaposta.cz/882673548

    Im not sure how to make it works?

    Thank you

    // EDIT: I have autoinstalled Wordpress MU using http://www.softaculous.com/ And did not read install file maybe thats why it dont creates domains?

    Same story. I installed 2.9.1.1 on a virtual machine (not a VPS but a local virtual machine) and no subdomains are created.

    Did you follow the instructions listed in the readme file included with your download? Especially the bit about setting up the wildcard DNS and changes to Apache?

    The readme file mentions that it;s a good idea to provide a link when asking questions in the forum so I have a feeling that you may have missed reading the file fully.

    Thank you,
    Readme is located there. I read it but i cant figure it out how to set it in my cPanel.

    It do not takes an asterisk when i add into "DNS simple zone manager". It says "You must have the zoneedit feature to take this action. You currently only have the simplezoneedit feature.".

    Thank you for the advice

    If CPanel is not taking the wildcard, then you're probably going to have to get with your host and get them to set it for you. You should also get with them to let them know that you;re installing wpmu as some hosts have AUPs in place that prohibit such software and may boot your account if they find out about it. It's best to ask first.

    You can give this a read as well to see if it helps:

    No offense intended but you may also want to give this a read as well to make sure you're not jumping in over your head:
