Multisite subdomains – page doesn't exist

  • Hey

    Does anyone have an up to date guide for using subdomains instead of subdirectories in multisite installation.

    I have followed the most recent guides i could find (1 year old) and nothing works.

    The subdomains are created but dashboards and sites are non existent.

  • hey HYP3RN0V4,
    what have you done exactly?

    I am running into the same problem with broken subdomains.

    Here’s what I’ve done.

    – Converted my single site to multisite
    – pasted the new code to .htaccess and config files
    – the system defaulted me to subdomain, and that’s my preference
    – added a wildcard subdomain in host gator *.mydomain.com

    My main site works great.

    When I add a new child site, I’m able to get through the setup screen successfully. When I try to access the new subdomain link, I’m redirected to a Verizon search screen. The same redirect occurs when I attempt to access the dashboard for the new child site.

    I have scoured the message boards without luck. Any ideas?

    My root site was working great, but the child sites (both sites and dashboards) were not showing up. They were redirecting to a Verizon search window instead.

    This was my solution:

    A wildcard subdomain (*.yourdomain.com) will only work when no other subdomains are present.

    I didn’t think I had any others set up since it was a fresh install, but Host Gator pre-populates a bunch of subdomains in the Advanced DNS area. These included webmail.yourdomain.com, cpanel.yourdomain.com, etc.

    I took a screenshot (just in case it didn’t work) and deleted the 15 or so subdomains from the Advanced DNS area. My child sites appeared immediately, both sites and dashboards.

    A wildcard subdomain (*.yourdomain.com) will only work when no other subdomains are present.

    I don’t think this is true. This depends on the server settings.

    mail.domain.com, cpanel.domain.com etc are standard subdomain. If you need to delete those subdomains to make wildcard working, then either something wrong in the server or they are purposely configured like that.

    The default standard workflow is existing subdomains will take precedence over wildcard subdomain.

    I have the same issue. Unfortunately your solution didn’t work for me. I have deleted all unnecessary subdomains but stil fail to access new pages: https://s7.postimg.org/bx6q0rtrv/image.png
