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?

thanks mate! I’m learning every second… Done now :)
The wp-config.php is the only place I need to put the new password, right?
I’m doing this guide now to see if it gives me domain mapping superpowers :)
I guess I need Nginx to do this, and cannot simply change some apache2 files… Didn’t know that!
You may want to change your WP DB password and username as you made it public here.

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.
