Network main site with and without www

  • Upgraded two WordPresses to 3.0.4 and networked them (not to each other). All went very, very well, with one teeny-tiny glitch.

    One of them works just fine with or without the “www” on the primary domain, while the other has decided that that’s a request for a rather hairy-URLed new subdomain:

    “The site you were looking for, https://delanowichitacom.www.delanowichita.com/, does not exist.”

    Poking about in the Apache shows they’re both configured the same. Poking about in WordPress, though, turns out that the problem child has this in the config:

    define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.delanowichita.com’ );

    while the other one has its domain with no www. So I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that that’s my problem.

    Is there a simple way to work around this, or am I stuck search-and-replacing the domain in my whole database? And if the latter, is there anything weird I should look for in a networked install?

    (Naturally, the screwed-up site is the one that’s got www-less links all over the Internet.)

  • Same problem here.
    Did you find any better solution?
    Thank you

    Sadly, no. Ended up doing the domain name change. Worked fine, though of course there were a couple of instances of www’s that the name change docs didn’t catch. Darned if I can remember what they were, though, other than that they were relevant to the multi/subdomain config.
