hi,
As i am developing on a new server i am trying to test WPMU by editing host
217.xx.xx.xxx mydomain.com
217.xx.xx.xxx http://www.mydomain.com
217.xx.xx.xxx testblog.mydomain.com
217.xx.xx.xxx http://testblog.mydomain.com
The first 2 redirects work. But my created testblog doesn't.
testblog.mydomain.com/wp-activate.php?key=6166b05b5f0323a6
gives a 404.
How do i enable subdomains in host file???
did you enable DNS wildcards on the server?
@steveAtty, yes i changed the dns for wildcards pointing to my new server.
I have installed WPMU on a domain i am not seriously using at the moment. And even now i see
-------------
Not Found
The requested URL /wp-activate.php was not found on this server.
------------------
haven't changed .htaccess and this is a clean WPMU install.
are you hosting more than one site on the server? Is the Apache server configured to support *.mydomain.com or is it just set up for domain.com and http://www.domain.com?
hmm, yes i am hosting more the one site on the server.
Ah, the Apache part might be it. do you know how i can reach httpd.conf with plesk or putty?
regards
It might not be in the httpd.conf file,h if its Apache2 might be located in a directory called sites-available (which might be under /etc/apache2 but that depends on your server set up). In there there will be a file for each site.
Or it could be in the httpd.conf in which case you are looking for the server alias in the VirualHost configuration
ok i see i have Apache Version Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
domains are set up like
/home/httpd/vhosts/<domain-name>
i also see
Virtual Directory Support disabled
I am stuck with root access to change http.conf
I have enabled SSH access but i get Permission denied for conf/ i must be login as root, but i don't know how.
I mean it should be user: root password: adminpassword
@steveatty, how do i check if Apache is setup to support *.mydomain.com ?
hmm, finally found httpd.conf in etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf but i get a permission denied when i simpley want to
make a copy
cp http.conf http.conf.bak
can't i use htaccess for the ServerAlias *.domain.tld part
ok with locate httpd.conf you can see where it's located
but i still can't copy http.conf
i am readin http.conf with less http.conf and the virtual host part is commented, like
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>
Should i uncomment this part and add
ServerAlias *.example.com
