Hi all,
I have a WordPress MU with sub-domains installed and configured on Nginx. Currently there are 4 sub-domains. I need www before each subdomain. I have mentioned www.subdomain.example.com directly as the sitename, But there is only one that isnt working with www.
Can anyone tell me what must be causing this problem?
Thanks in advance :)
Having www before a subdomain isn't normal...
You'll have to set up aliases on your server for ServerAlias www.subdomain.domain.com and probably check with your host if SUB subdomains are even allowed.

@Ipstenu, yeah I know that sub-domains should not have 'www' but actually this is what a client of mine is demanding :)
Also, sub-domains are allowed by the host. Will give a try setting up the ServerAlias and check.
Any other help would really be appreciated though.
Sub-SUB-domains are not the same as subdomains.
That is, most hosts allow subdomain.domain.com
Not all allow other.subdomain.domain.com
And that's really what you're doing.

Oh. Got it. But I have 4 sites and 3 of them are working fine. I have this issue with only one site.
I have just named the URL with www.. Hence this is not a part of a sub-SUB-domain, but a sub-domain.
1) Sub-domain: http://www.subdomain
2) Domain: example
3) TLD: com
Hence it becomes http://www.subdomain.example.com
Check with your host.
I know you're setting the subdomain to www[DOT]sub BUT that only works if your host set up the server to handle that. See it KNOWS that . between www and sub means "Another subdomain!" so you have to be sure.

@Ipstenu Thanks for all your help. The issue is solved. The DNS from the host panel needed to be configured
Cheers!
