1und1 to 1&1 Multisite Setup 404 Response

    Hi,

    I’ve been testing out the plugin and multisite setup on my 1&1.co.uk account and got it working quite quickly with both domains being hosted on the same account.

    However, the live version of the website which I want to tackle is setup as follows:

    • Multisite Setup on 1&1.co.uk with the Parent website domain and hosting here. (let’s refer to this as ExampleDomain.com)
    • Each sub-site is currently in a sub-directory on the above domain (ExampleDomain.com/de/)
    • German domain which I would like to use for the above subsite is hosted on 1und1.de (ExampleDomain.de)

    I have set the IP of the ExampleDomain.de on 1und1.de to the ip of ExampleDomain.com. I have also set the nameservers to the ones used by ExampleDomain.com. When doing a DNS check on Pingdom, everything appears to be OK.

    Despite doing this and setting up the plugin correctly (I followed a mixture of the OttoPress Guide and a 1&1 Specific guide), I am receiving a 404 error on the page. Before changing the IP and nameservers, the domain was getting a 403 error due to nothing being hosted on it.

    Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this issue?

    Anyone got any ideas? I’ve tried re-setting the DNS settings etc. but having no luck.

    Are you getting a WordPress 404 or a 1&1 404 ?

    Hi Ron, thanks for your response.

    I’m getting the following 404:

    Not Found

    The requested URL / was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    So I’m guessing that is from 1&1.

    You need to park the mapped domain onto your WP install in your hosting control panel. If you don’t have a park option, look for a domain alias option.

    Hi Ron,

    We have realised the main issue is that 1&1 don’t allow for external ccTDLs to be added to their interface. So on the UK side I can’t add the DE domain, which means it doesn’t map properly.

    I have sent them an email to see what can be done.

    Thanks for your help though, much appreciated.
