I am thinking about whether a MultiSite is a smart thought: since I don’t need all my different subdomain destinations (urban areas) to disappear, when there is a hacking issue, or when one subdomain goes down.
What might you counsel, for such indexes: multi or single… ?
Thanks a lot!

Hi kiwomya,
I got the nearly same problem, unless I am one step behind you: I developed on my own server(and domain) for the recent month a Multisite for our non-profit sports club with its 16 branches.
Now I want to move it to another domain, but I just don’t get it working. I read many tutorials and hints, but it just doesn’t work. I tried several ways to do it.
1. copy the whole working installation from the old domain to the new domain, using FTP, changing .htaccess and wp-config.php. server returns “no connection to the database to be established”
2. I sat up a new Multisite-Installation on the new server, copied the plugins and themes using FTP and imported the database using the wordpress importer.all seems to be there: database has the same size than in original installation. problems:
– styles.css of my child theme seems not working, even if I replace the styles.css of the parent theme with my child.rss on the new server
– main navigation is missing(i guess because of the style.css matter)
– there is only one multi-site accessible(out of 16) since the wordpress importer is only accessible from the sub-sites but not from the super-admin site…
So I am quite interested, how you got it working. Unfortunately I am using Microsoft Windows only, because I read about “WP-CLI” as a useful tool to get the serialized opreations done.
I would be happy to do it easier than to set everything up manually again…you are not likely to make a documentation, how you did it, huh?
Greetings,
Peter
