I am trying to install Wordpress MultiSite and in order to do so it says to create a wildcard sub-domain. How, or can, I do this in Virtualmin? If not, can someone help with setting it up in Apache? I'm not exactly sure where/how to do it. The documentation from wordpress is vague: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
I've found some blogs that say you only need to create a virtual domain in cPanel (I've read here about the difference between Virtualmin's sub-server and cPanel's sub-domain, but I'm getting confused with all the nomenclature). I've noticed mutiple VirtualHosts in Apache that are related to my Top-level Server and the sub-servers related to it, but I'm unsure where to stick the wildcard sub-domain. For reference, I have:
example.com
subdomain1.example.com
subdomain2.example.com
subdomain3.example.com
and so forth
So now I need a wildcard sub-domain.
Below is the step that talks about setting up the wild card domain in the wordpress documentation:
Step 2: Setting Wildcard Subdomains (If this is a Sub-directories Install, skip this step.)
Sub-domain sites work with the use of wildcard subdomains. This is a two-step process:
Any ideas?
Yep, an idea would be to check out the function Server Configuration -> Website Options : Website matches all sub-domains. That should do it. :)
Thanks Locutus. That's what I was looking for. Fortunately I figured it out last night and changed it through httpd.conf, but I forgot to update this. I just looked at the website options in Virtualmin and sure enough the change in apache's httpd.conf is reflected in the "Website matches all sub-domains?" option.
