subdomain multisite on Amazon EC2

You either hook up the domain name now or you mess with your hosts file.

Thanks,

So I mess with my hostfile:

127.0.0.1  myfakedomain.com
127.0.0.1  *.myfakedomain.com

What do I do with the IP in the DB?

Sorry,

it should be with the real IP. isn’t it?

my.real.elastic.ip  my.fakedomain.com
my.real.elastic.ip  *.my.fakedomain.com

127.0.0.1 is your local IP, always. It’s the same as saying ‘localhost’

So yes, use

my.real.elastic.ip  my.fakedomain.com
my.real.elastic.ip  *.my.fakedomain.com

and use the real domain in the db at the IP address.

it won;t work for visitors to the IP address, and it won;t interfere with the live domain. only you see the domain installed with that domain name at the new ip address.

And that means I only access the site locally…

Thanks for both you.
