Subdirectory Multisite Redirect

    Hi all,

    I’m using MU with 5 child sites. Its sub-directory way of MU install. And parent is in the root folder. I’ve used domain mapping plugin, for mapping to several domains. Started with one on GoDaddy, on a test basis.

    Went through the Domain Mapping plugin’s documentation and did everything told as per the text. But it didn’t clicked. 🙁

    I think its with DNS part, what went wrong. Also while creating the CName record found its not supporting (GoDaddy) sub-directory install, record fields are accepting only sub-domain value.

    So, I’m planning to put one or change one site or is there a way to redirect sub-domain url to sub-directory install, so that when one access site1.parent.com should go to original parent.com/site1? And in that way I can give sub-domain value in the CName record, in turn map it to http://www.site1.com

    Thoughts?

    Thanks in advance. 🙂

    You’re doing that wrong.

    You want http://www.site1.com to load the content from domain.com/site1 right?

    Use an A-Record and point http://www.site1.com to the IP for domain.com

    That’s all 🙂

    Nope.
    It didn’t work.. (What else I’ve to change?)
    Also, my other doubt..
    As per your suggestions, I’ve added an A-Record like
    xx.xxx.xx.xxx (www.site1.com) points to xx.xxx.xx.xxa (domain.com/site1) BUT what with my second, third, fourth, etc sites
    http://www.site2.com should point to domain.com/site2
    http://www.site3.com should point to domain.com/site3
    http://www.site4.com should point to domain.com/site4, since above four are using same IP (multisite) which is xx.xxx.xx.xxa ..

    Is it OK?
    Can’t we have different IPs for child sites?
    I’ve checked and found all using same IP as that of parent’s.
    Please clarify.

    Thanks in advance.

    Everything points to the location of domain.com. NOT site1, domain.com.

    Use an A-Record and point http://www.site1.com to the IP for domain.com

    I didn’t say site1, I said domain.com and I meant it. They all point there.

    No. Everything runs on domain.com.
