Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: WordPress Network (Subdomain) with DreamhostI’ve moved the discussion over to stackoverflow because WordPress.org doesn’t seem to appreciate this discussion over here.

In reply to: WordPress Network (Subdomain) with Dreamhostplusinternet, these guys are way too expensive for what I need. No way I’m going to pay for a vps.

In reply to: WordPress Network (Subdomain) with DreamhostSorry, probably wasn’t clear. You can do a manual install, but none of the “preferred” hosts seems to support subdomains. Still looking for a good/cheap one that does this.

In reply to: WordPress Network (Subdomain) with DreamhostOk, don’t know why Media Temple is listed, but I was talking to some friends and none of them had good experiences with them. Down the list I go… .

In reply to: WordPress Network (Subdomain) with DreamhostThanks Andrea, I would manually install it anyway, but this one doesn’t seem to be an option. I’ll now check out Media Temple.

In reply to: WordPress Network (Subdomain) with DreamhostWell, that’s just swell. They close my topic when I ask for a good host that does subdom hosting and refer me to the hosting section. But every one I check doesn’t seem to do this. Thanks for you time Tim. I’ll check the next one on the list.
Ipstenu, just got an extract of my virtualhost thing from my friend.
ServerName www.myname.be ServerAlias *.myname.be ServerAdmin webmaster@myname.be DocumentRoot /home/myfirstname/domains/myname.be/public_htmlLooks OK to me at first sight, but I’m hardly an expert.
So it seems that everything was set correctly and it wasn’t working. He’s completely reset the damn thing for me again, so I’ll try to install it for a 4th time;
Thank you for the info Andrea_r.
Ok, so I’ll need to make sure that the httpd.conf file is inside the domains folder on Directadmin. I actually think it was in there before, but it could’ve been higher up in the structure.I WILL get this working, so if that’s what it takes, I’ll find out how to do it myself. On the wordpress “create a network” page it says:
In the DNS records on your server, add a wildcard subdomain that points to the main installation. It should look like:
A *.example.comIs the above not enough to get it working? Your above comment kind of got me confused about this.
Ipstenu, thank you very much for your reply. The only thing I can reply to that is: I’m not sure.
He read the WP Network install documentation and added the following to the DNS management in DirectAdmin:
Name: *.ewergreen.be.
Type: A
Value: 123.123.example.IPHe also added the following to httpd.conf:
ServerAlias *.ewergreen.beAfter that, I was on my own. I did not point the subdomains anywhere, but I do seem to remember that wordpress made some changes to the DNS management (might be mistaken here).
So did I forget to do something and is that why it wasn’t working? If so please point me somewhere that explains what I forgot. I’m already very happy to find out that I don’t need to have the httpd.conf file to always be writeable. So this far I can hopefully still achieve a subdomain wp install.

In reply to: Superadmin menu not showing upThanks for the quick reply! Someone should probably consider updating this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Network Install: Child-theme not working correctlyI did hard refresh and also an absolute path to the @import. Nothing works, not a single line of CSS is used.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Network Install: Child-theme not working correctlyNot the problem. I could put whatever I wanted in there. The problem is that it’s not showing those changes on my site.
Andrea, I’m REALLY happy that this could work, but I’m afraid that I’ll need a bit more information. Googled around a bit on “wordpress faking subdomains”, but no luck…
Ok, so I just found out that I can’t use the subdomain installation. I can however set subdomains on my server. So now I’m curious if there’s a way to “fake” subdomains instead of having to use subdirctories, which I’d rather not use.
Mercime (or anyone else). So I’d make two subdomains (using directadmin), after which I install WP on the main domain. The installation process will then let me install in on site1.example.com and site2.example.com, but will also install itself on example.com?
This will make it possible to send info from site1.example.com and site2.example.com to example.com? Just want to make sure this would work. I’m pretty good with PHP, but have yet to make my first wp site.
