Hello, there!
Installing WP MU was a breeze (although I'd like to mention that it seems that PHP safe mode has to be off for file uploads to work?), and that was great.
My WPMU installation is at hoyque.com, and I'm trying to use domains instead of subdomains for the different blogs. So, I followed DrMike's instructions, and I simply can't get it to work. If I only update the blog's 4 options ( Site Admin --> Blogs --> Edit ) to reflect the new domain, I always get redirected to http://hoyque.com/wp-signup.php?new=domainname goes here]. If I also update wp_sites and wp_blogs as explaines in DrMike's post, i get the error message "No WPMU site defined on this host.". If I use the Multi-Site-Manager plugin, i also get the "No WPMU site.." error, and when i try to move the blog back to the main WPMU domain, the plugin seems to screw up the blogs domain name in very creative ways.
I'm running wordpress-mu-1.2.3-2.2.1 on a Plesk-managed server, and included the blog's new domain name using a ServerAlias in apache's config file.
One cause for my problems MIGHT be that the domain name ( dra-chavarria.com ) is already configured in Plesk (for emails and such). But I told Plesk NOT(!) to manage http://www.dra-chavarria.com (note the 'www.'), and that seems to work fine: without the 'www.' I get the data that is configured in Plesk, and with the 'www.', I at least get the WPMU signup-page/error.
So, what am I doing wrong here?
