I can’t get it too work on the new 3.01 multi site. It won’t safe the settings.

Already found: https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/new-blog-template
Any other suggestions are still welcome

I would also like too know this, Andrea could you tell us the name of the plugin?

Problem resolved, it was my redirections plugin, lol.

I installed wordpress in a different directory. My existing wp multi site installation is in public_html. I installed a subdomain in a folder on the same level as public_html. I made a new database for it, and uploaded wordpress in the folder. Now when I go to sub.domain.tld/wp-admin/ it shows: Error establishing a database connection. While I am 100% sure that I’ve entered the right password and usernames, any suggestions?

I don’t want too overwrite a previous installation, I want another installation next to my existing one. How can I accomplish this?

Omg, I’m such a wordpress noob. Now that I want too create another WPMS install with fantastico, it won’t let me in the root. Anyone knows to to fix this?

@otto Thanks for explaining these steps for me. Was very useful for the hostgator support. However they can’t seem too figure it out either.

Step 1: They say I don’t need to change the A or C name records.
Step 2: They won’t do this since it only would break stuff.
Step 3: Can’t map it to the preferred subdomain, won’t even redirect will stay on subdomain of main domain.

All my domains already point to addon domains(subdomains on my main domain) on the same server as my primary. Maybe this helps too narrow down my problem?

@andrea The page isn’t blank, when it runs like a add-on domain or when I’ve mapped it to my actual domain. But when I would map it to a sub domain of the domain I want a subdomain under. It will show blank.

Since this all seems to be too difficult, I will install another ms just for 1 domain that needs subdomains.

If anyone anyone still wants too comment, I would be happy if you would do so. Since this problem is still unsolved.

Thanks for the help everybody, much appreciated!

My webhost is hostgator. They don’t fully support wordpress multi-site. They only explain the setup. I also can’t acces my apache files, but they say I don’t have too.

Andrea explains something with apache files in her turtorial on her website.

Could you please look at my setup posted before? Did I add the right C name? Is it just me or are there hardly any people that have this kind of setup?

Is there no other ms documentation? Other then this site and forum? Some sort of user manual?

Any other way how I can get this working?

Yes even when the domain is not mapped, the page remains blank.

Edit: when I uploaded a theme I solved that problem, however if I try too map the domain to my preferred subdomain it won’t work and it will remain on subdomain.maindomain.com.

Basically what I did is.

Added a wildcard for my maindomain, and my otherdomain.
Otherdomain is parked in parked domains.
Added cname record: 3600.otherdomain.com subdomain.otherdomain.com
(don’t even know why I filled in 3600, because it was on the other thread)
Pointed the domain under tools -> domain mapping to my preferred subdomain.

This setup doesn’t work, it won’t even redirect to my subdomain + it’s a blank page.

What did I do wrong or forget?

If it’s that easy why don’t you bother to explain it to me, telling me too hire somebody isn’t going to solve my problem…

So I’ve added a C name record for the domain I want too have a subdomain of. It now looks like: 3600.domain.com, C NAME, sub.domain.com. I’ve mapped the main domain to my sub domain. Yet it still doesn’t work, my page is still blank when I load it and it doesn’t forward to my subdomain. What should I do?

Okay, since it’s advanced i’m asking the question here. Hiring someone might solve the problem but I haven’t got the funds. So this still leaves my problem unsolved. Could you explain me how I need too set up my C or Aname records so I can create a subdomain?

I mean this:

mainsite.com

othersite.com
I want a subdomain on the othersite like: blog.othersite.com

I can’t seem to figure out how I get it done. When I map: othersite.com too blog.othersite.com my webpage is blank.

The topic you sent me is something more advanced I guess. I hope you can still help me since I don’t really understand the topic you send me. Sorry for the trouble i’m causing. Thanks
