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.

I'm switching to a new host, but am not quite sure how to make the switch given the use of subdomains. I'd like to keep the same domain and subdomains, but just move everything to the new host.</p> <p>Anyone faced a similar situation? Any tips? Thanks. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/installation-for-dummies#post-679 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 14:41:54 +0000 IsSidha 679@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>It took me a while to figure it out, because as usual, the documentation isn't all that clear and that is because it is written by the developer who is neck-deep into it and asumes the o so basic stuff is well known. 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/install-new-site-stopped-working#post-934 Thu, 13 May 2010 14:38:36 +0000 mhostrow 934@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I already have 5 hive sites working fine and I've set them up the same way.

This is the wphive configuration:</p> <p>Site Name Prefix Site ID<br /> iltuoiphone.it/ wp_ 1 Visit Site<br /> ilmioipad.it/ipad imip_ 2 Install Site</p> <p>I made a subdirectory (ipad) in the home folder, where I copied a new installation of wordpress. I tried to launch the setup for the second wordpress installation but the webserver gives me a 404 error...<br /> Moreover if I try to click install site in the wphive control panel I get a 404 error.</p> <p>I'm a little bit confused, can you help me?<br /> thank you in advance </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 have tried numerous times and cannot get step 5 and 6 of the installation to work. Here is what I have done.</p> <p>I already have a word press blog we have been using previously now since december, it is our first domain (example name) <a href="http://www.firstdomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.firstdomain.com</a> – so step 1 was already done as it has been up and running for a few months.</p> <p>I then followed your step 2 and 3 exactly.</p> <p>Step 4, do you mean to just load the home page <a href="http://www.firstdomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.firstdomain.com</a> into a browser? I did that as well, just brought up the home page in IE and Firefox. If you mean something else by loading, please let me know. Feel I may be missing something here with the word "loading". As I simply just loaded the <a href="http://www.firstdomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.firstdomain.com</a> in a browser window, as I do everyday.</p> <p>Step 5,<br /> A)<br /> using Plesk, I pointed my completely separate domain name i.e. <a href="http://www.otherdomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.otherdomain.com</a> to forward directly to the <a href="http://www.firstdomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.firstdomain.com</a> site. That just physically forwarded it to my first domain.<br /> B)<br /> I then tried Step 5 again, and this time I pointed <a href="http://www.otherdomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.otherdomain.com</a> to <a href="http://www.firstdomain.com/wp-content/wp-hive/" rel="nofollow">http://www.firstdomain.com/wp-content/wp-hive/</a> - this was a guess. This also didn’t allow for Step 6 to work.<br /> Step 6, on option A above, I tried running the installation script on the following:<br /> <a href="http://www.otherdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.otherdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php</a><br /> It brought up webpage cannot be found.</p> <p>I’m hoping you see something obvious above that I’m not understanding. Please advise. Thank you. I'm normally okay with installations, so please advise. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/single-install-on-existing-domain-names-with-master-account#post-419 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 03:27:11 +0000 jubaldo 419@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>I've actually read the forums on how to install wp-hive 0.5, and it confuses me a lot about step 5. I understand that when pointing to a subdirectory from cPanel, one must go to Addon Domains to create a new domain that will run the Install Script like a fresh installation on the new site.</p> <p>I have installed Wordpress &#38; wp-hive on the master account/domain of my server and already have existing domains (separate accounts) that I plan to install Wordpress on. This means that I will not go through the Addon Domains module, because I already have existing domains. The question: Is it possible to treat the accounts as hives? If so, what would I have to do?</p> <p>It's actually tricky because each site/account has its own identity and if I were to point the directory where Wordpress is installed, it would be from another account. Please help! </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/is-database-shared#post- Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:11:58 +0000 Anonymous @http://wp-hive.com/forums/ http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/is-database-shared#post- Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:11:58 +0000 Anonymous @http://wp-hive.com/forums/ http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/is-database-shared#post- Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:11:58 +0000 Anonymous @http://wp-hive.com/forums/
