Same process, but use a CNAME instead of an A record.

Posted 1 year ago #hmmm... thanks for the reply. i asked (i think) the same question at Otto's blog, and got a different answer... http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/comment-page-5/#comment-5535
Not sure what to do! if i use a CNAME, what name do i use??

Try the A record. If you can't get that to work, then use the CNAME. It;s two ways of doing the same thing, the A record is faster, but at some hosts, you can;t ut an IP address in a cname or a subdomain in an A record.

Looks like i can't do domain mapping because my site is installed in a folder called blog. That sucks. I get this message when trying to activate it. Might help to say this in the plugin directory. Or did i overlook it?
The domain mapping plugin only works if the site is installed in /. This is a limitation of how virtual servers work and is very difficult to work around.

I think it does.
Actually, the warning used to not be there, as if you domain mapped, the foldername where you installed it woudl also show up.
