Wordpress MU - Configuring Virtual Server - help needed

Nov 20, 2012, 2:08 PM

Post #1 of 3 (1486 views)

Have two websites, one server: aa.com is the primary domain, and is set up
with Wordpress. I added the Multiuser version of Wordpress, and now have a
second domain, bb.com which is now running WP.

The primary domain has the Virtual Server configuration when you install it
from Cherokee. It works perfect, nothing needs to change.

The second domain, bb.com, doesn't have a Virtual Server, and hence, it does
not properly identify the location of let's say uploaded images.

Here's what happens:
Image location is here:
http://bb.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2012/11/image.jpg

But Wordpress MU is trying to find it here:
http://bb.com/files/2012/11/image.jpg

I need to create a redirect rule so that /wp-content/blogs.dir/2/ is
eliminated in the request for the image. Wordpress is installed at
/srv/http/aa/wordpress.

I'm stumped, and am a newb at this stuff but trying to learn. How is this
done? Note, I've tried adding a second vserver using the instructions
posted, but it's just not working (I know the directories aren't right).

Thanks for any help/advice.

To provide more color on this topic. Here's what's happening in the virtual
servers:

- I have one wordpress virtual server, aa.com
- The virtual server works fine with the domain.com name when you use your
browser
- However, the second domain, bb.com will not show up in wordpress format
and instead shows the default cherokee page. Strangely, the workaround for
this is to add a Host Match, server IP, and enter 10.0.1.3 (local IP address
for the web server).
- Once you add this server IP, the bb.com will show up, but the images are
broken

Am struggling with this one big time, and about ready to throw in the towel.
I've tried following:

- Clone the aa.com wordpress site, re-work the configurations
- Tried a NEW virtual server for the bb.com domain, using this set up:

Any ideas? Thanks.

I think you come from an Apache era ;) You should see adding multiple
domainnames just as 'match'. A match to get to a specific Virtual Server.

You should refer to the documentation on redirections. There is a
${host} modifier you could add to do an internal redirection (invisible
to do the user) so /files/ end up at /wp-content/%{host}/...

Using these blogs.dir/2/ is a bit unpractical... is there a way to
change that?
