 * Using WordPress Multisite I have created [http://books.ivoronline.com/](http://books.ivoronline.com/)
   but when i use this link i get error This webpage is not available ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.
 * I have used cPanel to add
    *.ivoronline.com books.ivoronline.com that point to/
   public_html and I have setup wp-config.php and .htaccess as shown below.
 * WHAT AM I MISSING?
 * wp-config.php
 *     ```
       define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE'  , true);
       define('MULTISITE'           , true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL'   , true);
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE' , 'ivoronline.com');
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE'   , '/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
       ```
   
 * .htaccess
 *     ```
       AllowOverride All
       Order allow,deny
       allow from all
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
       RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
       RewriteRule ^ - [L]
       RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
       RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * Hi Ivor,
 * If you are using multisite, you should only require the wildcard subdomain *.
   domain.com
 * You shouldn’t need to create the other subdomain for your site.
 * so I would remove the books.domain.com subdomain as you shouldn’t require that.
 * Hope this helps
