The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Multiple domain with DNS (14 posts)

    here's what i have so far

    1) successfully installed MU along with multi domain plugin on my domain

    2) successfully created a subdomain

    3) registered a new domain

    Both domains (1 + 3) share same DNS settings on the registrar as they are pointing to same server.

    But notice how it's looking for "jtmediamarketingcom.xyz.." not "jtmediamarketing.xyz..."

    how do I fix this?

    Go double-check everything you typed in when you mapped the domain.

    I did. I didn't see anything

    as a hack, i added a subdomain jtmediamarketingcom. now when I go there via http://jtmediamarketing.com, i still get the same error

    I get it redirecting to a non-existent blog, and back to the signup page.

    Requests for the mapped domains should (in your dns settings) be directed to go to the MU install itself.

    ServerAlias *.jtmediamarketing.com

    Why is this in there?

    And what did you put in the backend menu when you domain mapped the blog?

    1) not sure why, I thought it was a good idea. i removed it.
    2) I have this in both master AND subdomain's domain mapping plugin setting - screenshot

    No, I mean when you go to the admin area of http://jtmediamarketing.consumersreviews.org/

    Visit the Tools menu and the Domain mapping sub-menu. What did you put in there?

    same on both the main domain and subdomain (i.e. that screenshot is same for both)

    That's your problem.

    When you go to http://jtmediamarketing.consumersreviews.org/wp-admin/tools.php?page=domainmapping

    you should be seeing an input box to put in the actual domain name you want to map.

    I'm testing this exact plugin, and I know it works. :)

    Hallelujah! Didn't realize I was at

    /wp-admin/wpmu-admin.php?page=dm_admin_page

    instead of

    /wp-admin/tools.php?page=domainmapping

    Thanks Andrea.

    Oooh one other thing i wanted to ask..

    is it possible to map say, "subdomain.jtmediamarketing.com" to "jtmediamarketing.consumersreviews.org"?

    Yes. Use a cname instead of an A record.
