Excellent. It works!

Thanks so much Mika.

In case other people have this problem, I had set up the wildcard entry directly in the domain’s zone file in WHM.

Trying to fix it this morning, when I tried to set up the sub-domain in cpanel instead, of course cpanel told me that it already existed. I had to go back to the zone file in WHM and remove the wildcard entry I put in first.

After that I logged into the cpanel for the domain and created the subdomain “*”, tried it instantly and it didn’t work, then tried it a couple of minutes later and all of the subsites responded perfectly.

Thanks again Mika. I don’t know what difference it makes being put in by cpanel as opposed to directly, but you’re right; it DOES make a difference.

Hi

Thanks but cpanel cannot point a domain to a directory. That is done by the system itself. I would have to create a subdomain in cpanel for this, and then I don’t know what wordpress would think about that.

Thanks though.

Cheers

Hi

No. If I could access the wp-admin then the subsitea would be working.
Thanks.

Hi Mika

Thanks so much for helping, and yes that was my first thought too. The wildcard is obviously working as it finds the correct server, but I can’t see how it’s misconfigured.

I’ve included a screenshot of cpanel here:

Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong with it? I even put hamilton.ifind.co.nz DIRECTLY into the zone file but that doesn’t work either.

Thanks again
Warwick
