WPMU not showing the wildcarded subdomain

  • DJTwittr

    (@djtwittr)


    14 years ago

    I am running WordPress 3.01 on a 1and1 server (VPS) wildcard subdomains are enabled, mod_rewrite is enabled in apache. .htaccess is added as directed, wp-config.php is edited as needed and blogs.dir is chowned/chmodded as the wp-content folder is. subdomain blogs resolve to the host “configure” page and do not resolve as they should. Someone please help me see where I have gone awry.

    you can see the mu site here: https://pinnaclenetworking.com and my first added “sub” blog is qc.pinnaclenetworking.com

    Help!

  • subdomain blogs resolve to the host “configure” page and do not resolve as they should.

    then the wildcard record is not pointing at the directory where WordPress is installed.

    If the host says it’s supported, and you’re doing this on an add-on domain, and NOT the root install, then that’s why.

    there’s only two things need for the wildcard to work –
    Apache pointing the wildcard subdomain record to the right folder
    and the DNS record.

    and in this vhost.conf I have another “made subdomain” for another project, is this borking the “read”?

    I have even since removed the im.pinnacle…. subdomain…and removed the ref from the vhost.conf

    manoo

    hi DJTwittr .. just try with the following through SSH

    Edit/Create the /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/vhost.conf or
    /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/conf/vhost.conf file and enter this information:
    ServerAlias *.yourdomain.com

    then type the following commands..

    /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -av

    /etc/init.d/httpd reload

    Thread Starter DJTwittr

    (@djtwittr)

    I am very “anti” command line… how do I get to the point of editing the vhost.conf (in ssh) and are the later commands a change in directory? I used SSH FTP to upload the vhost.conf in the first place, but I realize this may be an error too to a point… I just want this to work, as it looks like it is “working” for the most part….

    sidenote:
    I think vi is all that comes installed (I haven’t added nano)

    the below file is located “here”:/var/www/vhosts/pinnaclenetworking.com/conf/

    Crap, you have Plesk, don’t you?

    Can you get customer support to do it? ??

    Thread Starter DJTwittr

    (@djtwittr)

    I do have plesk, but I can use putty pretty well… (I just can never remember the commands to do what I need) When I talk to customer service, they say “I need to run my own DNS service to do what I need it to do” (Which is crap I know) NO HELP AT ALL for that anyway… not to bad for other stuff though

    Thread Starter DJTwittr

    (@djtwittr)

    Ok I tried on my own to use putty to edit vhost.conf (with vi) and I did so…

    I noticed in the mod_ssl section a * was not present in the ServerAlias so I added it… the port 80 version looked ok… I saved… then used

    /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -av

    Syntax error on line 12 of /var/www/vhosts/pinnaclenetworking.com/conf/vhost.conf:
    <VirtualHost> cannot occur within <VirtualHost> section
    websrvmng: Service /etc/init.d/httpd failed to gracefully restart
    websrvmng: Service /etc/init.d/httpd failed to gracefully restart

    then still tried /etc/init.d/httpd reload

    Reloading httpd: not reloading due to configuration syntax error

    Yeah, Plesk does things weird… go into the main /etc/httpd/conf/ folder for the server (if you have access, pretty please say you do…) and make the edit there. Plesk won’t actually override that one.

    Thread Starter DJTwittr

    (@djtwittr)

    Ok… I do have access to that as well… I should probably remove this one as well correct?

    <VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAlias pinnaclenetworking.com *.pinnaclenetworking.com
#    ServerAdmin [email protected]
#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

    This was at the bottom of my httpd.conf in the etc/httpd/conf folder… I will be adding the vhost.conf to that folder as well…

    ok…added vhost.conf to etc/httpd/conf removed it from the other spot… used /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -av

    and /etc/init.d/httpd reload
    and still nothing…

    <VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAlias pinnaclenetworking.com *.pinnaclenetworking.com

    should have worked, but the doc root line was commented out, so it had no idea where to go.

    so i can try this ??

    now i tried to reload…and it said

    etc/init.d/httpd reload
    -bash: etc/init.d/httpd: No such file or directory

    You forgot a slash. Should be /etc/init.d/httpd reload

    (@djtwittr)

    etc/init.d/httpd/ reload
    -bash: etc/init.d/httpd/: No such file or directory

    (@djtwittr)

    oops… i caught the missing slash now lol

    ok i wasn’t “located” in the right directory…. fingers crossed

    nope…still not better… but on another note… qc.pinnaclenetworking.com/wp-admin…. does not show the default server page… but a “oops this site appears to be broken” page… not what is expected (if the front end gets a default page…I would think the backend should too

    (@djtwittr)

    ok…multiuser is not as “user freindly as they claim… single blogs it is…
