The Deluxe plan for GoDaddy is not necessary. You can still point multiple domains to one hosting account with the Economy plan (that I have). The only limitation is that they must all point to the same root folder... which happens to work out perfectly well for WP-Hive! </p> <p>WP-Hive: 1<br /> GoDaddy: 0 </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/pointing-a-new-domain-to-the-hive-on-godaddy#post-689 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 13:19:25 +0000 dayer4b 689@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>It's working! I don't know if was the CName change (which I guess takes longer than I was giving it) or (what's probably more likely) the about hosting: <a href="http://help.godaddy.com/article/5399" rel="nofollow">http://help.godaddy.com/article/5399</a> link that you posted. GoDaddy gives some directions that everybody should see. It's very simple and straightforward really.. I guess you should only see this if you are stuck. </p> <p>Thanks IsSidha for your help! </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/pointing-a-new-domain-to-the-hive-on-godaddy#post-687 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 01:03:49 +0000 IsSidha 687@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>here is a link to a helpfiles from GoDaddy</p> <p>about domains: <a href="http://help.godaddy.com/article/2227" rel="nofollow">http://help.godaddy.com/article/2227</a><br /> about hosting: <a href="http://help.godaddy.com/article/5399" rel="nofollow">http://help.godaddy.com/article/5399</a></p> <p>it seems to be depending on the type of service wether it will be succesfull or not?<br /> the 5399 article is how i use it, one hosting plan and multiple domains, but instead of pointing to different folders they all point to the same one.</p> <p>in case you need to change the CName settings it will take 24 to 48 hours before you will see it</p> <p>good luck!! </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/pointing-a-new-domain-to-the-hive-on-godaddy#post-686 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 19:05:13 +0000 dayer4b 686@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Ok, no luck yet.

This is something that I tried earlier to no avail, but I'm out of ideas. </p> <p>Has anybody been able to do this with GoDaddy? I don't understand many of the things that I'm doing.

This response is returned by the Apache web server when directory listings have been disabled.

I'm changing the nameservers of the new domain to match those of the old one. I'm also changing the A Record IP again. I don't see any other meaningful settings (which may be a grave oversight).

I'm not sure if the problem is with my GoDaddy settings or with the Hive settings.</p> <p>Here are my Hive settings for the new domain:<br /> Site Name: domain.com<br /> Prefix: pre_ (different from main prefix)</p> <p>I've checked the database and these settings are the same in the hosts table too.</p> <p>on GoDaddy, I've tried various things. I tried Forwarding with &amp; without Masking (I saw the post in which you mentioned that wouldn't work, so I've been leaving that off lately). I've tried changing the A Record IP to the IP of the other server. I've tried changing the www CName alias to the other domain. Nothing has worked so far.</p> <p>Can you help me?</p> <p>thanks! </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/domain-pointing-and-cpanel-qs#post-528 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:06:16 +0000 jubaldo 528@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>threedogmoon,</p> <p>Thanks so much for these wonderful reminders!!! I finally found the answer to my question a while back. My case is same as yours and you finally answered it. You're God sent!!! </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/domain-pointing-and-cpanel-qs#post-441 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:28:34 +0000 threedogmoon 441@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Ikailo. It worked! I had not properly moved db.php. Other than that, I had a difficult time understanding the instructions. Here's some stuff you may want to include in steps 5 to 8 for people who don't often mess with stuff like this:</p> <p>5. Use your Webserver Administration (Cpanel, IIS, etc..) to point any domains you want to use in the hive to the Wordpress directory --- In CPanel, this means to park any additional domains on the domain with the first hive install. This newly parked domain must not belong to a user in CPanel, and if it is on your list of accounts, you must delete it before proceeding. Only then may you park the domain on the primary hive domain. Once the domain is parked, go to the URL and you will be greeted by a WP install script.</p> <p>In addition the part on ‘Google XML Sitemaps’ plugin could use a little more info: </p> <p>First you must move the sitmap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz files to /wp-content/wp-hive/domainname.com/ on the primary hive site. After that is done, you can change the settings for the plugin so that is regenerates the sitemap files in the new folder. </p> <p>For all sites added to the hive, first generate the sitemap.xml files to the root directory, and then move the newly generated files to the /wp-content/wp-hive/domainname.com/ folder for the new site.</p> <p>Hope this helps others.... </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/domain-pointing-and-cpanel-qs#post-440 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:40:04 +0000 ikailo 440@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Looks like they're both pointing to the same directory, and they're both taking the same data from the database. Either WP Hive is not installed, or not installed correctly.</p> <p>Check the <code>wphive_hosts</code> table to see if there is an entry for both hosts. Chances are they both have the same value for <code>prefix</code>. If they do, give youmademedoit.com a new, unique, prefix.</p> <p>If there is no <code>wphive_hosts</code> table, then make sure <code>db.php</code> is in the <code>wp-content</code> directory. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/domain-pointing-and-cpanel-qs#post-439 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:08:56 +0000 threedogmoon 439@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Ok. Have existing install of WP on anthonycaccamo.com</p> <p>Installed Hive.</p> <p>Installed WP on youmademedoit.com. Tried to point (park) youmademedoit.com at anthoycaccamo.com -- Cpanel wouldn't let me do it. It told me that a user already owns youmademedoit.com, and that it cannot be parked. I deleted the user and domain from CPanel, and then was able to park youmademedoit.com at anthonycaccamo.com. YES!!! Or so I thought....</p> <p>Now I go to youmademedoit.com and the blog from anthonycaccamo.com shows up. OK.</p> <p>Problem: I never installed WP or hive on youmademedoit.com because I now have no where to put the files. youmademedoit.com simply shows the data from the WP directory of anthonycaccamo.com.</p> <p>Not sure what to do now....... </p>
