Aaah, it is painful to have a host without cpanel. I’m not exactly sure what to do.
If I understand you correctly parking the domain (domain2.com) will get rid of the problem that the multisite wordpress sends domain2.domain1.com to domain2.com? I will try it (though I’ll have to wait for my host’s support, since my attempt to park generates an error …)
Thanks again Rod and Andrea for trying to help me!
Hi Andrea and Rod, thank you so much for answering.
The subdomains were working fine. Then I tried to map domains to the subdomains with the domain mapping plugin. The result was that when I went to domain2.domain1.com it forwarded me to domain2.com which served the default folder the host puts up (it is very real, I can see it there with ftp).
I contacted my host and they now say that I should not try to park domain2.com, but that I should forward it. I’m guessing that they are wrong? How should apache now where to send the requests?
Thanks in advance!

In reply to: [Redirection] Automatic Redirects not being created?I can only echo this. I also don’t get automatic redirects.
To be more precise, there are 3 redirections created under “Redirections for group: Modified Posts”. But my latest changes have not been added.
(Using redirection 2.2.5 and WP 3.1.3)

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.1 breaks siteSorry, turns out that I just gave up and used the default numeric permalink on my local (windows) installation. When I try some other permalink it redirects everything to the homepage. But that might be some other issue. (I had the issue you described before installing the plugin.)

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.1 breaks siteI had the same problem on my local windows installation. As far as I remember this plugin fixed the problem: Permalink Fix & Disable Canonical Redirects Pack.
Here is one other thread about it:

In reply to: Latest regarding pretty permalinks and performance?Hi esmi, thanks for the answer. OK, so the advice is still the same?
Makes me wonder though, all the popular blogs which gets loads of traffic and use the site.com/post-name structure. Is it because they use cashing that it’s not so critical? As a visitor of such a site you don’t really notice any performance issues.
Sorry, turns out I had Akismet deactivated. So it does send the email and the message does end up under “Feedbacks”.
So, hmm, does it fill out my name and email address because I happen to be logged in? OK, I guess the issue is resolved. Sorry.

In reply to: postid/post-name Permalink – Duplicate Content IssueI’m researching this right now, and as far as I understand:
1) The fact that the mysite.com/postID takes you to the post as well is actually a usability advantage. If you cut and paste a link from an email for example, and get either too few or too many characters,you still arrive at the intended page. You can also use mysite.com/postID as a short link in Twitter and similar places.
2) If you use a canonical link, that is, a link which says “this is what this page is supposed to be called and nothing else”, then google will see that and not punish you for duplicate content. See Googles own blog.
I have read that WordPress as of version 2.9 includes the canonical link by default, but when testing on my own installation it doesn’t show up. But there are plugins that take care of it.
