Multisite domain mapping with add-on domain

    I have a multisite install working at “msdomain.com” (which is not my root account at my shared hosting provider, but an add-on domain). Domain mapping is set up correctly (I copied sunrise.php and added the SUNRISE define). I’m trying to set it up so “mysubdomain.com” is a site within this multisite network.

    I have mysubdomain.com resolving to my server ip (the registrar is a different company than my hosting provider). I want this to be a site within my msdomain.com multisite install, using either subdomains or subdirectories.

    I’m confused about the set up on the server. If I use an add-on domain of mysubdomain.com, I think it’s trying to use my root wordpress domain (“rootdomain.com”), instead of mysubdomain.com, to handle the web request. How can I get mysubdomain.com to map correctly to the msdomain.com multisite site? Thanks in advance.

    Here’s more information about my set up:

    rootdomain.com is at public_html
    msdomain.com is at public_html/msdomain (multisite install)
    mysubdomain.com can use either subdomain or subdirectory mapping in msdomain install

    I set up a mapping with a subdomain.

    mysubdomain.msdomain.com/wp-admin then gave me some kind of default page but couldn’t find wp-admin (mysubdomain.msdomain.com is resolving to the correct IP.)

    need dedicated IP
    primary (mainsite) needs to have WordPress installed in the root directory
    with Domain Mapping from WPMUDev your best bet is to add the subsite domain as a Parked domain in cpanel. make sure the primary mainsite domain has wildcard DNS.

    might be a couple of other things but that is the basic –
