| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Choose desired settings and click on Install
| |
| − | | |
| − | * NOTE- By default SME Server does not support Wildcard Subdomains, so you will need to choose Subfolder. If you want or need to use a Subdomain, you will need to create a custom template for SME Server to support Wildcard Subdomains. For instructions on how to create custom template for Wildcard Subdomains, go below to PART TWO for instructions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''B3)''' After you click install, you will be taken to a "Create a Network of WordPress Sites" screen
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''C1)''' You will need to install Wordpress Domain Mapping plugin.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Find it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just follow installation instructions from the plugin download site.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''C2)''' Create all your domains in the SME server-manager and point them to the iBay where you installed wordpress.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''C3)''' create new sites in wordpress dashboard that will handle new domains created in step 2
| |
| − | | |
| − | SME Specific Change:
| |
| − | | |
| − | SME Server and wordpress use the same name "files" for totally different folders, and that is causing issues displaying images inside blogs that use Domain mapping. In order for the images to show up correctly, we need to create a custom template to fix the conflict.
| |
| − | Go below to PART TWO for instruction on how to create the custom template.
