The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Adding a second blog - no address found (8 posts)

    I installed MU and have my default blog running. I tried adding a second blog in admin, and it does add it, but I get an address not found page when I try to view the site or go to that blog's admin. In set up I selected to use subdomain as the way to differentiate the multiple blogs.

    Other DNS info - I have A records set up for:

    - www is currently pointing to another host with the live site, which I am currently redesigning and going to be implementing that theme into word press.

    - testing is where the WPMU is currently installed. So if you go to here, you'll see the WPMU: http://tinyurl.com/6ck7n6

    - I set up a second blog http://tinyurl.com/5pyroo, just by adding it in admin, and I get the address not found.

    Any ideas? Do I need to add a "*" hostname record?

    Thanks!

    *update* - I added a *.domain.ltd to point to the testing server, so now my new blogs I created go to the temp page of the server and the admin page goes to an object not found:

    http://tinyurl.com/5mmuut

    The main blog still works just fine: http://tinyurl.com/6ck7n6

    Any pointers? Thanks!

    A README file came with the software package for a reason. Please take time to review it.

    I am having this issues as well - I've taken the time to read the README.txt multiple times. There is no mention in there how to actually set up multiple blogs - only how to install wordpress mu.

    Once it's installed properly, there's a Site Admin menu with a submenu called "Blogs".

    And a big "Add a blog" area. Click the button, there it is.

    or, you know, visit the signup page which is linked to right off the main page.

    One would think that after you set it up, you'd take time to explore the backend and read the menu and the information presented on the front page of your setup.

    Best bet would be to install mu within the root, not a subdirectory. As you note, that usually doesn't work.

    A decent site to bookmark: http://wpmututorials.com They have a free ebook on installing that will probably help you.
