    This a IP from a shared server.
    *.ogamecentral.com A 195.74.65.12

    When i try to access sub.domain.com i get the message:
    There is no website configured at this address

    How can i solve this?

  • Are you trying to enable wildcard subdomain access? If so, and you have cpanel, unless your host has disabled it you can simply go into cpanel, open the “subdomains” feature and create a subdomain named “*” on your main domain name. Your new subdomain would look like this: *.ogamecentral.com. That will enable wildcard subdomains in cpanel. No need to manually create a separate A record. Doing it manually like you are trying requires an A record AND an alias set up through SSH. Detailed instructions for the manual configuration can be found here:
    https://www.nerdydork.com/setting-up-wildcard-dns-subdomains-on-cpanel.html. The shortcut is found in comment 2 from cpanel tech support.

    I have a new WP 3.0 mulisite setup where subdomain blogs generated the “cannot display the page” message. I created the “*” subdomain and now all subdomain blogs are up and running.

    Good luck.

    Sub-domain sites work with the use of wildcard subdomains. This is a two-step process:

    1. Apache must be configured to accept wildcards.
    1. Open up the httpd.conf file or the include file containing the VHOST entry for your web account.
    2. Add this line:

    ServerAlias *.example.com

    2. In the DNS records on your server, add a wildcard subdomain that points to the main installation. It should look like:

    A *.example.com

    @brantje also ask your webhost support.
