I'm using domain1.com as my hive starting point.<br /> Hive is installed. Site still works. Added site (domain2.com -&gt; domain2.com / d2_). Great. Clicked "install site" Not great - sent me to domain2.com's site instead of installing.</p> <p>This is my 4th attempt (all others failing and actually managed to wipe out my site once). I think I need to change my addondomain (domain2.com) to be in public_html/ instead of in its own folder (WP is installed in public_html/). I did that before and changed the prefixes in my existing database to d2_ ... and kept getting a blank page.</p> <p>I could get one blog or the other (but not both) to work.</p> <p>I LOVE this idea and I've paid the $50 for the Pro subscriptions, but I can't figure out how to make it work... What am I doing wrong? Or maybe better yet... What should I do (step by step)?

Donated $50 because it does such a great job.</p> <p>But, is there any way to add existing sites other than exporting the articles from the old site, rebuilding a new site through Hive and then reimporting the existing articles?</p> <p>This process seems fraught with difficulty, considering the need to fiddle with the domain names through the transition. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/installation-for-dummies#post-695 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 23:08:20 +0000 ikailo 695@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Great Instructions.

This is just very common behaviour with us developers, and usually i have to rewrite my own stuff about 20 times before my clients vaguely understand what i am talking about...</p> <p>So, here is what you do step by step, and hopefully it gets you going. Remeber though that every hosting/domian company can do things a bit different, so be creative on that part.</p> <p>We have a domain called "website1.com" and it points to the root folder of your hosting space, or any directory in that space. It doesn't really matter.</p> <p>Now upload Wordpress and install it as per default.. maybe you want to change the admin password or make some other changes to it, please do, but don't install WP-Hive just yet.. just make sure EVERYTHING works first.. create some posts and/or pages, get some plugins to work, a theme..</p> <p>** side-note.. instead of the default "wp_" prefix for the database, you might want to change it to "wp_1_" or something easily recognizable just in case you will have to manually change things in the database</p> <p>No problems?? GOOD!! lets get on with it then... install WP_Hive, just get the plugin and activate it.. that's all</p> <p>Is your site still working? GOOD!!.. </p> <p>Now here comes the gritty bit.. adding additional sites.. and it has a really cool function that has not been mentioned here anywhere, so it will be a good surprise.</p> <p>Some people not only have "website1.com" but also "website1.org" and "website1.net" .. and usually it will point to the exact same website</p> <p>For this to work you need to have these domains pointing to the exact same spot as the "website1.com" .. basicely, look at the settings for the "com" domain and write everything down that might look important and copy those settings also to the "net" and "org" settings.</p> <p>in WP-Hive you now have to add a new site.. choose as your domain "website1.net", let it point to the same place as your original site (usually / ) and use THE SAME (!!) database prefix. repeat this step for every com,net,org or whatever domain you may have. As it is using the same database prefix there is nothing to install.. </p> <p>Now we can also add another domain, say "website2.com"</p> <p>the steps are the same, except now you chose a different database prefix, say "wp_2_".. this creates the option to make a totally different website.</p> <p>as before, make sure your "website2.com" domain settings are also pointing to the same place as where Wordpress was installed. Again, basicaly take note of your "website1.com" settings and copy those over to your "website2.com" settings.</p> <p>open a new browser window and go to your "website2.com" domain and you should see (again) a wordpress installation page.. just go ahead like always and make changes and all that.. note, all your plugins and templates are there.. but not activated.</p> <p>hopefully this will help some people.. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/multiple-domains#post-399 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 04:07:25 +0000 Madnesz 399@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>After waiting for four days, it now works.

I've installed a wordpress blog at domain1.com and uploaded the wp-hive to the plugin folder. I've also copied the db.php to the wp-content folder, and activated the plugin.</p> <p>In cPanel I've now parked a second domain. It points to the wordpress directory of domain1.com. But if I go to the new domain I get a 500 Internal Server Error. I've also tried to configure the new domain as a addon domain in cPanel, but this gives me the same problem. Now if I remove the .htaccess file, the error message changes to a 404 now found message. Does anybody has a clue what the root of my problem might be? </p>
