This looks like it is still a control panel / domain pointing issue. Make sure they are pointed to the same actual directory.</p> <p>So if your main WordPress install's index.php file is at 'mydomain.com/public.html/index.php', then you want to point all the other domains to the folder 'mydomain.com/public.html/'</p> <p>I am concerned because you used the word "folders" and not "folder". You should only have one WP folder. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/install-site-takes-me-to-my-domaincom#post-751 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 12:50:23 +0000 ewatasin 751@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Hi, still need a little help.

I am stuck where lacylouwho was. I'm not a programmer so my wp install was not placed neatly in the directory. The wp folders are at mydomain.com/public.html. I have all my domains pointing there. I followed the 'dummies' tutorial and have each domain in the wp-hive control panel listed as wp_1_, wp_2_, etc. When I click 'install' I get the 'index of/' cgi-bin page for each one. Where exactly do I point my domains? Thank you! </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/install-site-takes-me-to-my-domaincom#post-692 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 07:54:46 +0000 starapple 692@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>lacylouwho, if it's at all possible I'd suggest creating a sub-domain installation rather than sub-directory. As ikailo (developer) has noted, there are some issues to be sorted out with sub-directory installations.</p> <p>So, create secondsite.domain.com and point it to domain.com/folder/wp/main. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/install-site-takes-me-to-my-domaincom#post-691 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:38:10 +0000 lacylouwho 691@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Similar problem here -- but no forwarding issue.</p> <p>domain.com/folder/wp/main wordpress install here</p> <p>want to install second hive site at</p> <p>domain.com/folder/secondsite</p> <p>When I click the INSTALL button - it takes me to</p> <p>domain.com/folder/secondsite</p> <p>with a "page not found" error. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/install-site-takes-me-to-my-domaincom#post-661 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:03:02 +0000 starapple 661@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>ikailo: Genius!

"Forwarding with masking" is still not correct. You need to point it to a physical directory on the webserver. </p> <p>If I remember correctly, you use GoDaddy? They do allow this - I have done it before, but I no longer have an account to test it with. I recommend you check with their support department to see if they can show you what needs to be done. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/install-site-takes-me-to-my-domaincom#post-655 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:57:16 +0000 starapple 655@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>OK ikailo, so I added forwarding with masking and the browser address bar shows <a href="http://sub.site.com" rel="nofollow">http://sub.site.com</a> (after clearing the cache).</p> <p>I look under the Net tab of Firebug and see:<br /> GET sub.site.com 302 Moved Temporarily sub.site.com ?<br /> GET sub.site.com 302 Moved Temporarily sub.site.com ?<br /> GET sub.site.com 200 OK sub.site.com 608B<br /> GET <a href="http://www.site.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.site.com</a> 200 OK site.com 25KB</p> <p>Does this tell us anything?</p> <p>When I click Install Site I'm directed to <a href="http://sub.site.com" rel="nofollow">http://sub.site.com</a> and Firebug says:<br /> GET sub.site.com 200 OK sub.site.com 589B<br /> GET <a href="http://www.site.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.site.com</a> 200 OK site.com 25KB</p> <p>Nothing new is created on the server.

If it is a redirection issue, then it will be the URL of the OLD site, and not of the new one. Or, use a debugging tool like firebug to determine if the server is issuing a 301/302 redirect. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/install-site-takes-me-to-my-domaincom#post-651 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:15:47 +0000 starapple 651@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>OK, I get that behaviour. I click install and am taken to the original site's home page? What next?

If the site is not installed, then WordPress launches the 5-minute installation process (per normal WordPress installation).</p> <p>If you are getting content other than the WordPress Install Page when you click 'install site', then there is likely a problem with pointing the domain to the correct directory.</p> <p>I don't think different IP address will cause an issue as long as they are sharing the same directory. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/install-site-takes-me-to-my-domaincom#post-591 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:29:42 +0000 HarryPotter 591@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>any help here? =D </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/install-site-takes-me-to-my-domaincom#post-577 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:18:51 +0000 HarryPotter 577@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>hi,</p> <p>sorry, but i am totally confused =P</p> <p>i have a site domain1.com as the main domain with wphive plugin installed.</p> <p>i added two sites:<br /> domain2.com prefix = wphive_<br /> domain3.com prefix = wphive2_</p> <p>(could i have left all the prefix as wp_ ?)</p> <p>anyway, now in wphive &gt; edit, I see "visit site" and "install site" for domain2.com and domain3.com</p> <p>when i clicked install site, it simply opens my domain2.com in the same window?</p> <p>each domain is located on a different ip address, but same server... is that why it's doing this? </p>
