I’ve chickened out and have decided not to do my own welding, So I’m just cleaning it up a bit and I’m gonna haul it down to my brother’s place so he can weld it for me.

My Scenario

If you want to do a multisite installation i.e. run multiple blogs from a single database you basicly have two options subdomains or subfolders. Because I want to map existing domains to the child sites I was going to be setting up I figured that from a DNS perspective it would be much easier to go with subdomains.

Thus my blogs would appear as

domain.com
blog1.domain.com
blog2.domain.com
blog3.domain.com

Then I can setup CNAME dns records to point traffic from the desired domain to the child blog subdomain

abccompany.com -> blog1.domain.com

Here’s the steps I took to get it working

1.  Enable the network setting, To do this you’ll want to edit your wp-config.php file and enter in the following line

    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

    2. Then you’ll want to log into the admin section of your site and under Tools you’ll find an new option called Network. From here it will guide you through making the changes required to convert your installation into a multsite. i.e. setup a wildcard dns entry and copy and past some info into your .htaccess file

    3. At this point it should be working but if you’re using Plesk like I am it won’t be. Your primary site will function properly, but new sites you create will simply timeout when you try to reach them and you’ll receive a Plesk ‘Under Contruction” type page. Since it is resolving to the server properly DNS is not the problem. The problem is in the apache config to fix it do the following.

    Apache Configuration
    Edit the /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/vhost.conf or /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/conf/vhost.conf file and enter this information:

    ServerAlias *.yourdomain.com

    If the vhost.conf didn’t exist before, you will need to run:

    # /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -av

    Whether the vhost.conf was new or not, you will need to reload the Apache configuration:

    # /etc/init.d/httpd reload

    4. Child sites should now be working properly

    I stopped by my friend Matt’s house last night and we replaced his front shock absorbers on his Dodge Ram Pickup. The actual procedure is fairly simple but we ran into some trouble due to rust.
