    hi there,
    i am moving from one vps to another, because i cant get my subdomains to work correctly. i hope that somebody in the wpmu-family can help me out.

    last week i have moved from my old host to another, and got the main wpmu site working correctly. you can access http://blogono.com and login, and even create new blogs.

    but when i try to access any blog-url or subdomain-url, it will give me an error-msg, although i have setup wildcard domains.

    in cPanel/WHM -> dns zone looks like this ...

    additional info ...

    in cpanel/whm, in restart services, when i try -> DNS Server (BIND) -> Restarting Bind

    .
    .

    i get ...

    .

    Attempting to restart named
    Waiting for named to restart.... . . . . . . . . . . finished.

    named status

    named is disabled

    Service: [named] has been disabled by the sys admin

    .
    .

    could the problem be caused by this?

    .
    .

    i still can not access any subdomain or blog-urls

    eg
    http://candy.blogono.com

    somehow i got it to work now, dont know if the dns-edits need some propagandation time or the "reload rndc" caused that.

    however, i am very happy that the site is running again.
