• I’m in an Ubuntu environment with WP.3.01
    I set up WP 3 to work in a multisite environment with subdomains. I am behind a firewall on an internal network. I am not our org’s Network Admin, so I do not run my own DNS, rather we have only one DNS server for the whole org.

    I believe I made a mistake when I set up the network, though, and I wonder if I can correct it easily.

    During the network setup, in the Server Address field, I believe I should have entered a server address like ourorg.local
    Instead, I entered the actual IP of the computer, 10.1.90.XX (I misread the directions.)

    On the face of it, the install seems to have worked, but now, I can’t get a pretty address, like library.ourorg.local, or residence.ourorg.local
    Instead, new sites appear as library.10.1.90.XX
    I would like to get this resolved as we want to NAT some of the subdomains outside as well, and I don’t believe we can put them outside in this format.
    I tried to edit the line
    define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', '10.1.90.XX' );

    in the wp-config.php file, replacing the IP with ourorg.local

    After restarting Apache and Network Services, I was unable to reach the site at all due to an error in redirecting.

    Is there a simple way to rectify my error by editing files?

    Thank you!

  • nope.

    Either reinstall it correctly, or edit the database. the URL is stored in a *lot* of different fields in various tables.

    Ah, I see. Thank you for your reply.
    Well, that settles it, then. Reinstall.

    May I ask, please…
    The “server address” should be
    ourorg.local
    or
    firstsite.ourorg.local

    Thank you.

    I’ve reinstalled WordPress and have a fresh environment.
    Apache is set to accept wildcards, and the DNS record at our org server is correct.

    Even before I install the Network, I want to be sure that I have the correct WordPress address (URL) in the basic General Settings.
    Should the WordPress address (URL) be ourorg.local or should it be firstsite.ourour.local ??

    Thank you.

    ourorg.local

    That’s your MAIN site. It will be the first site. Any blogs made from that will be whatever.ourorg.local .
