add-on domain resolving to subdomain

I too am having issues, however, I think I can see your problem… the subdomain receives no www in the url… your addon would be addon.domain.com and the original would be domain.com

Now, my issue dives even deeper… mod_rewrite is loaded in apache…. htaccess is added as needed…wp-config.php modified… and blogs.dir is created and chowned… now my “addon” domain does not work. My site can be seen here: https://pinnaclenetworking.com and my only live sub created is qc.pinnaclenetworking.com

@DJTwitter, the OP is posting about Domain Mapping. the issues are not realted to add-on domains specifically. Are you even using multisite?

@todd00 – what settings did you check off under the Super Admin -> Domain Mapping menu?

I am using multisite… yes… which is why I posted that the conig.php was modified as required….

the domain mapping issue the OP is having is from the plugin.

In your issues, you didn’t even say of you were domain mapping, nor mentioned the add-on domain you were trying to use. It may be better for you to start your own thread with your specific issue.

The only extra info that I can give:

WordPress MU Domain Mapping Version 0.5.3
Shared Hosting with Rochen – cPanel

I have read great things about the MU development by Donncha.
My thinking was I have not configured correctly because I haven’t read about the problem in my research into the issue.
The thing is I can access my mapped domains home correctly, then I must browse in the subdomain format if I browse the site, very strange indeed.

The thing that makes it worse is I do not fully understand the technology behind Multisites, so I canot resolve it myself.

Thank you.

@todd00 Go to Super Admin -> Domain Mapping. There are checkboxes.

Which ones did you check off?

Thanks Andrea

2 Permanent redirect (better for your blogger’s pagerank)
3 User domain mapping page
4 Redirect administration pages to site’s original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)

#4 is why.

Hi Andrea,

It looks like I had not installed the plugin correctly.

I installed the plugin through the Install panel, moved the sunrise file to wp-content etc.
What was missing in the tutorials I read was the need not only to create the mu-plugins folder, but I had to move domain_mapping.php into that folder.

Once I had completed this step, the plugin started behaving.

Thank goodness I have this working now.

Many thanks
