    I have bought myself a dedicated IP, and i had switched vhost to yes, but there seems to be a problem that that it doesn't show the blog. it only shows a blank page.

    main blog site: http://desiblogs.co.uk

    vhost blog: http://tester.desiblogs.co.uk

    someone please help as this website will release at new years

    You have to do a reinstall to switch that, not just a one-line edit in the config.

    Edit: I forgot that i had ended up deleting the default themes before lol, that is why it didn't work

    and yes you can just change a config value to make it work, all works perfect now :)

    define('VHOST', 'yes');

    No it's a from my previous installation.

    I installed a new copy on a different server with subdomains default set.

    Then i just copied the .htaccess from that server to my one.

    And the pre-existing user blogs work okay? The ones that were set up as subdirectories?

    ssbansal, in wp_blogs you have:

    domaine | path
    ----------------------
    blog.domain.ltd | /
    domain.ltd | /blog/

    The first with vhost=yes, the second vhoste=no

    It's no a one line edit.

    You will have to change this wp_blogs table as well as each pre-existing wp_x_options

    As well as update all the permalinks for each blog you have.

    Yes, but there are no blogs on the site yet, as we are still working on functionality and everything, therefore it is only one blog, which is the main blog site, and everything seems to be working 100%.

    But if you'd had blogs, it's be all screwed up.

    We're all correcting you so some poor sod doesn't read this thread in the future and thinks he can switch 500 users over with a one-line edit. :)

    Well that's true, there should be some script made to do an update on switching.

    Would be very useful !

    I think this is a "set it" and "forget it" option.
