New Install On VPS and MultiSite Isn't Working

    Hello,

    So I really need to get Multi-Site up and running. I’ve done a fresh install of WP and Multi-Site. I did a test domain and I get the Oops Google Page. I even tried to update the network and I go this:

    Warning! Problem updating http://test.mobilerush.net. Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message: Couldn’t resolve host ‘test.mobilerush.net’

    The test domain is obviously http://test.mobilerush.net

    I have the Wildcard set-up properly on my server. I have the correct rules for the .htaccess file but this is really getting frustrating. Been working on it for awhile now.

    What can I do to finally make this work?

    Thanks

    Ok. So I tried doing a full uninstall of WP and the databases and I tried doing Multi-Site using subfolders instead of subdomains as this doesn’t really matter to me. I followed all of the instructions, changed the .htaccess file and updates wp-config.

    I then when to log out and log back in and now I get stuck on the login screen. I put in my name and password and then it spits this URL in the URL bar.

    http://mobilerush.net/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmobilerush.net%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    What’s going on?

    When you get an error that isn’t WP formatted, 99.999999% of the time the error has nothing to do with WP.

    http://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/test.mobilerush.net

    Notice how everything has a red x? That means there’s no DNS entry for that domain. On the other hand, look at your main domain:

    http://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/mobilerush.net

    Perfect 🙂

    So the answer to “What’s going on?” is “You didn’t set up wildcard domains correctly on your server and/or nameserver.”
