When I read the instructions, I cannot figure out if I need to edit the A records of the main domain waautocredit.com or the actual domains that will be mapped.
The domains that will be mapped.
Thank you for the reply, Ron.
I am going into site1.com A records.
It is already pointing to the correct IP because it is already on the same server.
Nothing to change there.
*, site1.com, and host.site1.com all have the ip address listed.
The only one that is different is localhost.site1.com
I do not think I should change that one. Thoughts?
Let’s make this easier.
lets look at autoloanbankruptcy.waautocredit.com and yes2drive.waautocredit.com (there are 4 others, but this should be enough info.
autoloanbankrupcy.com is displaying the content that was in the ftp of that domain, rather than the content on the MU.
yes2drive was the same. I deleted the content in the ftp of that domain. I just can’t figure out why the site does not show up from the yes2drive.waautocredit.com site.
Option 2:
Maybe an idiot proof walk through of the cname method? I am getting frustrated with the A record method. It could be that I need to wait 3 days for propagation, but I am not sure.
I do not know if it matters, but it appears my domains have both a record and cname entries. I know the a records are pointing to the right IP. Should I delete the cname?
You need to remove the hosting account(s) for the mapped domain(s) from your web server (ex. autoloanbankrupcy.com).
Thank you. I think that might be the huge missing step.
From /wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=10
The domain still shows as y2d.waautocredit.com
should I change it?
It also displays that way on
/wp-admin/network/site-settings.php?id=10
Should I change it on any of the 3 areas on those two pages?
Site URL, Home, or Domain?
I am still getting an error with yes2drive.com being removed from my host. But, at least it is a different error. Now it is just this:
The webpage at http://yes2drive.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Deleting the hosted domain worked when added to the domain parking step. Misunderstood that until watching a youtube video.
I had another issue where I was trying to setup mapping to http://www.mydomain.com but it worked after I changed that to http://domain.com
Do you think that could be because the parked domain on the cpanel of my WPMU installation does not have the www?
I want the http://www.mydomain.com version of my site name to load in the browser.
I know, I could just deal with all my sites no longer having the www, but it is going to bug me.
There is a cname record of www pointing to mydomain.com in all of the domains.
The domain still shows as y2d.waautocredit.com
should I change it?
No.
There is a cname record of www pointing to mydomain.com in all of the domains.
You need to point the non-www domain to your WP install as well.
I have it mostly fixed.
2 issues.
The main domain was created as domain.com (no www)
All of the other domains are created as http://www.otherdomain.com
None of the non-www versions are working (not found page of domain.com)
None of them forward.
I tried doing a normal htaccess redirect, and thought it worked great…until I tried to login to my admin domain.com/wp-admin
I got redirected to http://www.domain.com/wp-admin and it would never let me log in (even though it was the right password), but the page did load.
I did not know exactly what you meant by the non-www version pointing to the wp-install. Perhaps you can be more specific?
The current main domain setup looks like this:
* CNAME 5m maindomain.com.
@ A 1h x.x.x.x (actual ip)
localhost A 1h 127.0.0.1
The current blog domain setups are like this:
* CNAME 5m mappeddomain.com.
@ A 5m x.x.x.x (same ip as maindomain)
localhost A 1h 127.0.0.1
Is there anything I am missing that could be causing my problem?
Is there a fix for the www/non-www or should I just move all of my sites to the non-www version?
I am pretty sure that would work if I changed the mapped domain blog names from www to non-www.
I am going to open my current issue in a new topic.
Thank you for your help.
