WordPress Multiple Domains
« on: September 05, 2012, 04:40:07 PM »
Please help. I would like my WordPress MU Network w/ multisite Domain Mapping plugin to handle all of my domains. This is different from the http://wiki.contribs.org/User_talk:Calisun solution because I also need email addresses for these domains.
ie: domain1.com
has five email addresses accessed through eGroupware
has two pseudonyms
main website is managed currently on WordPress

domain2.com
10 email addresses (which will be accessed through eGroupware according to domain)
6 pseudonyms
Managed by WordPress multiple domain plugin (as of current, it opens domain1.com page)

Currently setup, domain1.com points to "Main" iBay: domain2.com points to "Main" iBay.
domain1.com opens "domain1" webpage.
domain2.com opens "domain1" webpage.

Is this an .htaccess issue?

I was not clear in my instructions. I have updated the last part of instructions:
" To run several Domains on one wordpress install: "

I am assuming you can still set the domain in the server-manager which gives you access to email addresses and pseudonyms.
Do you need to set the primary domain as *.domain1.com with additional to follow, or is *.domain1.com the additional domains?
Which iBay do I point the server-manager setting to for the new domain?

SME does not support wildcard subdomains (*), so you will need to create each one separately, unless you know how to create custom template.

My instruction are for wordpress installed in an iBay, so in server-manager you would point domains to the iBay where your wordpress is installed.
Since you are installing in an /opt directory, you should use this contrib:

#calisun The Usertalk you link to did not work for me. After I installed "MU Domain Mapper", I had to create a new domain in the server-manager that points to the ibay where the WordPress install is. Then I had to set the new domain in WordPress NOT in the Super Admin menu, but on the User Page. It must be set on the individual page under tools in order to work!!!!
After that, everything is simple, no issues with images or anything. Something you may want to look into for convinience. Just set a new domain in server-manager, and then in the WordPress site. Easy Cheesy  :D

I am not sure what you are talking about since what you said is the same what is in the directions.
