I have a site x.com I send traffic to affiliate sites to y.x.com

I'd like to have blogs set up on y.x.com/blog, w.x.com/blog, etc... does anyone know if this is possible with wordpress MU?

Not quite sure what you are asking, but if you want blogs on sub domains, then yes Mu can do it. If you then want the blog main page to be in a /blog/ directory, you could just set that to be the main page in settings for each blog.

You may also have a look at http://b2evolution.net/ it has pretty good multi domain set up. As well as Blogs Organizer.

I'd send you an icq, but can't find one for you.

Word press MU creates subdomains on your said domain.

Add themes and other users . Then blog away

I put it on one domain by accident and found it pretty useful. I'm making sales from a plattform that I have no idea. how it works.

I read somewhere that with tons of posts. Say 2000 per blog and 80 blogs on the same server. Some where in there its crumbles due to massive queries.

Hope this helps

I already have the subdomains generated based on subfolders of x.com

I can't install mu on the root of x.com because of other scripts I have running there to avoid potential conflict. Say you went to y.x.com y would already be x.com/y(already exists). I want to have blogs as x.com/y/blog so the resulting url is y.x.com/blog if that makes any sense.

I already have some seo pages on y.x.com/keywords.html, just trying to figure out how the hell to get it to work with wpmu

Supz · 12-22-2008, 09:17 PM

im pretty sure its gonna be on a domain, and you can choose either subdomain or subdirectory. it creates the sub for the new blogs. never tried, but from the configuration it doesnt seem possible.

I have it running if you want to test something hit me up on icq

edgeprod · 12-22-2008, 09:18 PM

I'd be happy to help you as much as you need, free of charge. Setting it up on the server, configuring it, and making it work best with aggregated feeds. Just ICQ me.

Sure thing. I'll be around after 8pm or so. I'm happy to help you write something custom (also free, of course) if you want to get rid of the bloatware that is WPMU and just serve SEO-keyword-rich blog pages. We'll talk about it on ICQ. Have a good night!

Not sure if your still wanting to know but I think this has more to do with Apache/cPanel if that what your host is using. If they are, I just tested it out and cPanel does not support periods within their sub domains. I'm thinking that it could be manually entered into the Apache conf and all of the named entries and it may work, but you would need to know what your doing. Perhaps something like Plesk would support this if anyone knows?

Yikes @ control panels, hehe.

I think mod_rewrite would probably accomplish almost anything he wants to do in this arena, and creative tweaks to the PHP will do the rest.

Ahh yeah your right I didn't even think of that and I'm answering tickets for a hosting company as I speak. That's probably the best and only way your going to get it done is by using mod_rewrites. *smacks head*

Don't sweat it. It probably wouldn't have occurred to me right away unless I had dealt with the WPMU nightmare in the past. I had to take down a massive site because it was choking the server and the "fix" was more painful.

Yeah, We have a few people with a ton of subdomains and it always knocking out some of their services, httpd, cPanel, Exim without any server load or anything like that. I think if they would have just used mod_rewrites it would solve their problems but I get paid to fix server misconfiguration and not develop websites. They run like 1000 subdomains and it just chokes out Apache. I haven't been able to prove it just yet but all 3 of these dedicated clients share the same issues and all have an abnormal amount of sub domains on some kind of CMS script like WP. I'm a Drupal guy anyways but willing to give WP a try down the road once I dip into more blogging down the road I'm sure.

Sounds like a nightmare ... I have no "defined" subdomains (well, *, www, the usual) for the WPMU sites, they are handled with mod-rewrite exclusively. The server load was 30.x then 90.x when it really started getting bad. Long story, but it's over now, and the site is gone/down. ;)

The subdomains work fine as subdirs. I just want wordpress MU to add a subdir to the existing subdir that acts as a subdomain. x(subdir).y(main name).com/blog I can already add stuff under other subdirectories and it shows up fine as x.y.com/blah & y.com/x/blah. Just trying to get it to work with MU

Hehe, no worries. Good talking today, catch you after the holidays hopefully.

uno · 12-23-2008, 10:24 PM

yah I hope to get this resolved. someone suggested I just use the subdomain option but i'm not sure how that would conflict with the existing subdir subdomains.
