WordPress MU

Hi all,

I'm new to WordPress but I think this is a very powerfull software.

My problem is that I installed the platform in blogs.mydomain.com

It works fine but when I create a new blog the url is newblog.blogs.mydomain.com but apache is not configured to accept those kink of urls...

Is there a way instead to leave the home page in blogs.mydomain.com and then host the other blogs in newblog.mydomain.com?

Thanks!

Check

http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/wiki/DebuggingWpmu
http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/wiki/UpgradingWpmu

and make sure to read the README.txt in MU install folder. It talks about how DNS and Apache need to be configured.

Apache is configured properly....

No, You need two Apache virtual hosts, on on "blogs" running a normal version of Apache, and the other running WPMU on "newblog"

I don't understand...

I configured just one virtual host which is blogs.mydomain.com

this host handles all the requests for *.mydomain.com

I think the problem is in the configuration of wordpress because it automatically creates all the new blogs in newblog.blog.mydomain.com

Maybe I have to make changes to the database entries

Please help me...

Please read my post above again.. You need two virtual hosts in Apache, each pointing at different directories on your box and at the two hostnames that you mentioned above.

Here is how I have mine set up.

Domain blogs.domain.com with wild card DNS for *.blogs.domain.com
One VHOST in Apache for blogs.domain.com with alias for *.blogs.domain.com
All blogs get username.blogs.domain.com (as yours) which is normal.

What donncha is saying it that you can't have the home blog be blog.domain.com and have the user blogs be at username.domain.com with WPMU. He is suggesting you have two installs and two domains. Home blog would be regular WordPress on domain.com. User blogs would be on blogs.domain.com with a WPMU install. I don't think you can have blogs.domain.com for your home and username.domain.com for the user blogs because of the way DNS will be configured with the wildcard for *.domain.com. This would resolve blogs.domain.com to the WPMU install and not the regular WordPress install.

Is this kind of what you were getting at donncha?

I have problem with subdomain too. It's working if I add DNS *.myblog.com but then when I have demo.myblog.com it will not working. If I remove *. infront of myblog.com in DNS demo.myblog.com will work but after few hours(expect that DNS is updated) myblog.com is not working.
I wonder why it is happening like this. Anybody knows what is the problem?

Thanks

ok thanks a lot!!

the readme.txt file doesn't mention anything about the DNS setup, (my most current DL of MU is a couple of weeks old), is this some info that had been added recently ?

Why my blogs is down....
Cant up load ???....
Cant access blogs...:(

DNS
===
If you want to host blogs of the form http://blog.domain.tld/ where
domain.tld is the domain name of your machine then you must add a
wildcard record to your DNS records.
This usually means adding a "*" hostname record pointing at your
webserver in your DNS configuration tool.

I only work from svn and haven't looked at a nightly in months, so I don't know if and when this showed up in the nightly.
