A bit new to all this but really like your tool. I have a host who only allows 5 SQL databases. I have a site <a href="http://www.madeupname.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.madeupname.com</a> and I added hive to that wordpress site. I tried to install it using my madeupname.com database address and my <a href="http://www.madeupname1.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.madeupname1.com</a> site (the 2nd site I need) as the domain. Then added wp_madeupname1 I installed it and it came up with an apache screen saying....</p> <p>"This page is used to test the proper operation of the Apache HTTP server after it has been installed. If you can read this page it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly."</p> <p>But I have no idea what to do or where to go next. Do I need to change or add a separate config file with wp_madeupname1 in it? The current config file just say wp_ at the moment. Seem to be going round in circles here. Many thanks for your help.

Set up your domains, etc.. the same way, leaving the original copy of the site on the old host. </p> <p>Then initiate the DNS changes to point all the domains to the new server, wait 48 hours, and then remove the content from the old host.</p> <p>If you need to verify ownership for the domains with the new host, you can usually use a unique DNS subdomain or file that you upload to the site. Most hosts will give you the option to verify this way instead of actually pointing to the new sites.</p> <p>You can use a your local "Hosts" file to manually access the new server and verify that all is working correctly before flipping the DNS switch. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/installation-for-dummies#post-1109 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 18:47:06 +0000 k.anderson3454 1109@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Whew..I didn't know installing is such a hard thing to do.

Ask your host if they can "Point" the domain to the same folder as citysite.com (where index.php resides).</p> <p>This seems to be domain only, so it would probably work with this configuration:</p> <p>Domain Name: cityalumni.com<br /> Sub Directory: /<br /> Prefix: alumni_ (or something unique)</p> <p>Then you would have two unique sites. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/how-to-install-on-subdirectories#post-839 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:54:55 +0000 pedro 839@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Let me know if you would like more information.</p> <p>Thank you very much. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/how-to-install-on-subdirectories#post-838 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:40:44 +0000 pedro 838@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>This is really difficult to understand. I'm going to use few words and perhaps try to get to the bottom of this. </p> <p>citysite.com = Main site (with wp-hive installed)<br /> (at my host [1and1], it is in a Home Directory which means wordpress is installed in /CitySite).

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/initial-wp-hive-install-results-in-blank-pages#post-678 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:38:01 +0000 AndrewBlanda 678@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Hi There,</p> <p>I will admit I got Hive working on my own site through sheer fluke and don't touch it now.
