I've pointed my DNS a record to the new IP of my multi-blog wordpress installation but when a person types the domain information into a browser it resolves to the new site, but shows the IP in the browser address bar instead of showing the domain name for each page.
When I went through and changed all the IP references in the database to the new domain name, now the pages give database errors (even when a new page is created, it gives a database error).
Is there something about this new multi-blog platform that requires a different approach to ensure that the domain resolves to all the pages and posts?
Can you give us the domain?
also, you may have missed some references. Did you tell the webserver to answer to the domain?
(and the multsite feature is not new. ;) Just newly built in with WordPress. It was standalone before, works the same as WordPressMU did.)
Thanks for your help Andrea. First, I'm not sure what you mean by telling the webserver to answer to the domain. I have 3 other networks set up like this and all I've ever done was change the A-record, then make sure that the server recognizes one domain as the default so the mapping works for subsequent blog site? Perhaps I missed an important step in setup or something?
Okay so I thought it was the same but that the MU elements were newly "built into" the old version (oy, too confusing for me to keep track! LOL).
Here's the domain: sdbaskets DOT com
Oh and I should add that all the posts resolve correctly when I change the database information from the IP address to the new domain. It is just the pages that seem to give the database error for some reason.
Did you change your wp-config from the IP to the new domain? That really is bizarre.
That was it ipstenu! I hadn't changed the wp-config. Bizzare though how it worked for the posts but just not for the pages!
THANKS so much for your help!!
