Multisite and Domain Mapping Problem

    Hi, I’ve been banging my head on this for ages now. Have searched and searched for a solution, now hoping you guys can help.

    I have activated Multisite on my WordPress installation with the domain mysite.com. I’ve then set up a new subdomain site, en.mysite.com, which works fine in front and backend. I’ve then installed the MU Domain Mapping plugin and gone through the steps to map en.mysite.com to myotherdomain.com. However, when I try to access myotherdomain.com in my browser I just get a screen saying “Apache is functioning normally”.

    This whole WordPress installation is set up on a testing server provided by my hosting company and I have had to add the IP of the testing server to my hosts file to be able to preview the site on my machine. I have also entered the IP of the testing server in Server IP Address field of the Domain Mapping Configuration page, which I’m not sure was the correct thing to do or not. I’m also wondering if the domain mapping isn’t working because myotherdomain.com is already active on our live server.

    I hope you can possibly see where I’m going wrong. I’ll try to explain more clearly if there’s anything confusing in what I’ve written. Thanks in advance!

    Okay. This is NOT something you did wrong in WP. Don’t worry about that yet.

    A mapped domain, outside of WordPress, should be pointing to the mysite.com location. So how did you add the myotherdomain.com domain to your host? Was it an add-on or a parked domain?
