WordPress MU

Hi there,

First off - WPMU is brilliant, thanks very much for the work that you've put into it. It's proven itself to have been more than worthwhile ;).

I have it set up and ready to go @ http://blogged.us.to - but, when people try to register for a blog, it creates a subdomain that won't work.

I have read about having to set up something with DNS on these forums, but they seem to be quite ambiguous and I haven't come across any that apply to the DirectAdmin control panel (cPanel alternative).

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could provide simple, clear instructions of all the steps I need to take to make these subdomains work. If you haven't experience with DA, please let me know the generic steps to take and I will try to contact DA's staff to find out how it applies to their software.

Thanks in advance.

I think that unless youy have / understand she;ll access you need to talk to your hosting providers. Ask them to:

create a dns wildcard alias and an apache wildcard virtual hosts for ladedadeda.com

Thanks for your attention, I'll get in contact with them ASAP.

Using the subdomains now redirects to my host's IP (eg. http://www.test.blogged.us.to) after setting up a wildcard CNAME to point to the IP. Is it correct to say that the host still needs to do something at their level that I can't, or is it now a case of needing a .htaccess configuation? Thanks.

Final question - will the Vhosts setup work with shared hosting, or does it require a dedicated server?

I use shared hosting and it seems to work just fine.
