Hello again!
I hope I’m not annoying you.

Yes the fresh WP install has it as https://example.com. I’m manually changing ‘WordPress Address (URL)’ and ‘Site Address (URL)’ to https://www.example.com.

Screen shot is here – https://s9.postimage.org/9f518jndr/image.jpg

Should I not add www here? I can still remove it but then where to define primary site alias?

I have only taken step 1 on MS install which is to add :
/* Multisite */
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

I can still revert back as per your guidance.

Okay, so now I set up my primary site’s alias to https://www.example.com. Enabled multiste and I have following error message :

Warning! Wildcard DNS may not be configured correctly!

The installer attempted to contact a random hostname (52f99f.www.example.com) on your domain. This resulted in an error message: Couldn’t resolve host ’52f99f.www.example.com’

To use a subdomain configuration, you must have a wildcard entry in your DNS. This usually means adding a * hostname record pointing at your web server in your DNS configuration tool.

You can still use your site but any subdomain you create may not be accessible. If you know your DNS is correct, ignore this message.

This was not the problem when my primary domain alias was example.com. Also it should be 52f99f.example.com and not 52f99f.www.example.com

FYI : I’m at Godaddy and I’ve a dedicated IP address.

I followed everything and ended up with –

No site defined on this host. If you are the owner of this site, please check Debugging a WordPress Network for help.

I then completely deleted WordPress and the db. I’m now working with a fresh install and a fresh db.

Thank you very much for all your help
Happy New Year ??

Hello!

Thank you again. I’m sorry I forgot to mention my MultiSite installation is wildcard sub domain based with domain mapping.

I hope this doesn’t matter, I was wondering ‘www’ is also a sub-domain. Kindly confirm whether this can be a problem?

Kind regards

Hi @ipstenu !

Thank you for the reply, since my installation is brand new can I disable multisite temporarily and set my primary site with www ?

Once done I can re-enable multisite, can this attract any problems? I’m concerned regarding database. My understanding/knowledge about databases is almost zero.

Kind regards

Hello guys!

Any workaround yet? Please share any solution to this problem.
