is the symlink supposed to point magicalunderground.vitavibrations.com to vitavibrations.com

orrrrr

is the symlink supposed to point magicalunderground.com to vitavibrations.com

currently, magicalunderground.vitavibrations.com works fine.

https://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/63/Pointing+Multiple+Domains+to+the+Same+Alternate+Domain+Folder is the article needed, which was done already.

Yes.

Is the main domain you have at MT that one where the network install is?

Yes.

@cinematic: Thanks anyways. ??

i made the symlink a couple days ago as suggested… and now gettng the 403.

i changed the A record on Godaddy which points to my MT account DNS

Anyway, i really appreciate the both of you…cinematic and andrea.

I must be missing something and/or not getting the big picture.

If either of you two want to make an easy $100, email me. If not, i’m off to odesk. ??

cheers,

Thanks for hangin in there with me Andrea.

i will ONLY changed the A record (see below, copy/paste) nothing else..no cname no notta.

ARecord @ 205.186.183.248

I’m working on this today for someone else. :-/

did you get that figured out? i still get the 403 and being so green, i figured I’ve jacked something up

primary site hosted on MT: vitavibrations.com
add-on site (forbidden error): magicalunderground.com

@cinematic – did you change the A record in Godaddy at all?

and, did you point the godaddy nameserver to your otherhosts shared ip?

Thanks. ??

If you are on a shared hosting server you need to register your domain with this hoster. Then you can point the domain to the folder with your multisite install. From an external host it’s not possible to address the shared server via IP.

Hmmm. I figured that even on a shared host, I still had my ip zone for dns settings.

If what u say is accurate cinematic, that’s a major draw back.

bout ready to call uncle… and do this the “old fashion way.”

On the MT side, you need to login via ssh and create a symlink.

After doing this and attempting to map the domain (see below)… within WP, I get a Forbidden 403.

Add new domain
https://newdomain.com/
(checked)Primary domain for this blog

Anyone know of a fee based guru i can lean on via phone? (i feel dumb) grrrr.

Yes, don’t use GoDaddy’s parking feature.

Wilco. So under Godaddy’s “set name servers” is shows 4 options:

1. I want to park my domains.
2. I want to forward my domains.
3. I have a hosting account with these domains.
4. I have specific nameservers for my domains.

Which should i use?

On the Godaddy side, go into the Total DNS area and make the A record point to the IP address of your MT account.

got it and its looks like this:

Hostname: @
Points to ip Address: 123.456.789.987 (of course not REALLY those #’s)

On the MT side, you need to login via ssh and create a symlink.

Working on that right now. And yep, i’m on the GS.

Mucho, Mucho Thanks

thanx.

ahhh, the Oracle.

Registrar of the parked domain is GoDaddy
Host of WP 3.0 Multisite is MediaTemple

The parked domain is on godaddy. The site is hosted on Media Temple

Its the former… Still a blank page. Crappo. Time to sleep on it. Thanks for the help thus far Johnny B Good. :: raising glass::

In case this helps any guru’s:

Registrar of the parked domain is GoDaddy
Host of WP 3.0 Multisite is MediaTemple

ok…did as suggested:

So long as the A record for the parked domain, (the one you want to map to parkedSite.mainSite.com), points to the server that has your 3.0 Multisite install, I would expect that your DNS good to go.

notta yet….just goes to a blank page…maybe it takes time.

::self helping:: still have a Question.

when it comes to changing the DNS records of the parked domain, the Registrar (godaddy) has these 3 boxes to fill out:

1. Enter an Alias Name ______________
2. Points to Host Name ______________
3. TTL (this one i got!) ::gulp::

What the heck to i put in options 1 and 2?

For 1, do i put parkedSite.mainSite.com?
And 2, do i put the mainsite.com? (which is the A record)

::pulling hair out:: I’ve attempted to make sense of the slideshow…but it all breaks down for me at this point in the process

Sabre…. you didnt like MT?

Be aware that the export feature in wordpress does not include tables that may have been generated by plugins or themes. It’s the best we have at the moment though.

Super important…i wish the documentation on migration mentioned this specifically.
