Question
WP Multisite, different Domains, 1 Install
I followed the guides, and now have Wordpress MU with 3 websites. But, only the one I installed first works from it’s own address at the moment.
The other 2 are stuck at xx1.website1.com and xx2.website1.com. They should be xx1.com and xx2.net.
I changed the apache config file, basically just added the same lines with different aliases. Added in sites-available for the 3 websites. did a2ensite and reloaded apache2.
Now, I changed the addresses in the WP MU install (mySites /networkadmin/Sites) to the correct url. But nothing is loading at that domain…
I don’t know what step I missed, and can’t find a guide on remapping domains on WP Multisite. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I guess I need Nginx to do this, and cannot simply change some apache2 files… Didn’t know that!
no, Apache will work fine. I have set it up several times for Wordpress Multisites.
But go ahead and try Nginx and see if you can get further along. There are a couple of other things I can suggest if you are still having problems.
btw: are you using a plugin to map domains in Wordpress Multisites? If not, you need to add each domain to the database under wp_sites table.
You may want to change your WP DB password and username as you made it public here.
cool, nothing broke! :) thanks a lot mr Sierracircle! :)
