first, a disclaimer: i'm not overly tech-y. i'm a designer/front end developer, who can fumble through hacking other's code, but not much else. most of this stuff is over my head. please speak in lamen's terms.
second: i did search the forums and teh google, as well as contacted media temple's tech support, with no avail. and again, most answers seemed like jargon to me.. (see point #1)
hosting/setup details:
WordPress MU 2.9.2 installed on (mt)'s grid service.
on the website: http://fairwyn.com.s72729.gridserver.com
issue:
everything seems to be working, but i don't think it was setup correctly, because anytime i try to add a new blog (example: http://development.fairwyn.com.s72729.gridserver.com ) i get nothing.
when i contacted the media temple support, they replied:
Unfortunately, I can't really troubleshoot why WordPress MU is not functioning as that falls outside of our scope of support. I can tell you that wildcard DNS record (*.domain.tld) available by default on (mt) Media Temple and that is not the issue in this case anyway.
so
1) does anyone have an idea why when i try to add a new "blog" as a subdomain this is not working?
2) would wordpress 3.0 beta be a better option for me to try? or am i going to run into the same thing
thanks much!
