Yes, that my first impression after trying to edit this file :

wp-config-sample.php

as usual rename it to  wp-config.php and edit appropriate data.

I’m totally wrong by doing this. I got this message :

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant VHOST bla..bla..bla

Yes, never ever touch that file when install wpmu.

Lets continue installation process :

1. Open address from web browser

  • add user into vds

Here’s the steps :

1. Login into minivds using ssh client if you using windows or use terminal if you’re in unix based system.

2. Download wpmu

Step by step install wpmu in VDS / VPS : setting wildcard and subdomain part 2

Posted by admin on November 5, 2008 under Step By Step | Be the First to Comment

What I like from VDS is the system already configured by skilled tech person for running fast. Little technical knowledge needed to run it and also cheap :-)

In last post I talk about setting wildcard and subdomain in minivds system.

A few things need to consider are :

1. Apache httpd.conf file

2. named zone where record for our domain created

From httpd.conf the most important things that make wpmu work for subdomain is :

ServerAlias *.ngeblog.cn

you can use a.ngeblog.cn, xyz.ngeblog.cn etc for subdomain and its job of apache to translate it into proper view.

Since minivds using isplite control panel system the dns process and the exact record not shown, I must use ssh access to see it.
