Trouble with Subdomains (7 posts)

    I want my previously existing domains to work. For example. http://team.leadersandreaders.com

    I've added the following to my htaccess file:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} team.leadersandreaders.com
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !team/
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ team/$1 [L]

    I've also added it to the htaccess file in the team folder.

    And I've added the domains to the list of banned domains in the admin section of wordpress.

    But it still isn't directing to the right spot. I've searched the forum come up with instructions to do what I have done. Can anyone point out why this may not be working.

    It is trying to direct to wordpress sign-up still, but now has errors which states that it cannot modify the header information.

    Thanks!

    To use the subdomain feature, you have to edit your httpd.conf file and also create DNS A names. Did you do that already?

    Also if you're getting a cannot modify the header information, it means that there is a return or space somewhere in the PHP code that needs to be removed.

    Yes - I've done that. Isn't that what sets up the wildcard domains? I had to have my host do that and they assure me it it is set-up. I can create subdomains with the wordpress installation, but it has disabled all of my other subdomains.

    Also, where would I look for that space? I don't know where to begin with that.

    Thanks!

    As a follow-up to this I doubled checked with my host and mod_rewrite is enabled on the server. I am out of ideas on how to correct this. Any ideas anyone?

    Do you have rewrite set to be on?

    bro, your theme is impressive and whatever it is your using to authenticate users... but your favicon and your site title bum me out. take a snapshot of that nice watch in your header image, resize it to 16X16 and use that. really nice theme, though.

    Yes, rewrite is set to be on. At least that is what my host told me. WordPress can name the domains, but I can't seem to manually set them up. So I can't set-up some of the exiting ones to point to wordpress files. Still nothing seems to work.
