Your ‘domain’ is subdomain.example.com and your blogs will be blog.subdomain.example.com? I’m not a linux or networking guru by any means but I don’t see why that isn’t possible. As long as your DNS records and wpmu reflect that subdomain.example.com is the ‘domain’ for wpmu. I think I’ve seen someone who visits here have that setup. I don’t remember who it was though. It was just a hmmm that’s interesting kind of passing thought.

Any linux site admin/networking gurus out there? Perhaps you can explain the details of how you have things setup in DNS, .htaccess and wpmu right now.

Never actually tried it, but having a wildcard DNS and a wildcard entry in your apache should work with *.sub.domain.com for both entries.

A record for DNS would be: *.sub.domain.com

Apache httpd.conf vhost entry would be: ServerAlias *.sub.domain.com

I think we had a similar problem and the solution was to assign Mu/Buddypress to http://domain.com rather than http://www.domain.com. This allows MU to create blogs on the subdomain that is http://subdomain.domain.com.

This is why your friends subdomain is working for your first blog, but the others are not. Or, that is my best guess.

Looks like you’re going to need to use sub directories instead of subdomains. Don’t worry, as they work identically, but instead of blog.yourdomain.com, you’ll have yourdomain.com/blog

(This is also more of a WordPress MU support question, but because others may benefit from this too, lets discuss…)

Stop me if you’ve heard this, but it should be a semi-easy fix.

in wp-config.php, change…

define('VHOST', 'yes');

to

define('VHOST', 'no');

and make sure…

$base = '/';

Then, you’ll want to dive into either phpMyAdmin, or each of your blogs admin panels and edit them individually, just making sure that the paths to each of the blogs are correct.

kunal17, did you contact the support of both hostgator and godaddy? If you go to wpmu forum you’ll find detailed answers and information as buddypress is just a plugin running on wpmu.

Perhaps you need to visit wpmu and read some documents there, to understand more about what wpmu does and buddypress does. That should give you clear definitions and directions when you face troubles in the future.

Kunal17 & Gerald Lucas-
