Looking to use one install of wp3 to manage multisites…here’s the twist…and if it’s doable…
A./Have wp3 manage multiple domains on the same host/server
B./Each domain have it’s own database
For example I have a primary domain hosted at godaddy with several add-on domains (not sub-domains). Each domain address is unique and can be transferred/pointed anywhere after it has been un-add-on.
Have just started venturing into wp…so real nubie…but learning fast…like in point one above, I have loaded and unloaded wp3 4 times now, but I see my error now, I added the code underneath the existing code in the htaccess file.
I have several other domains hosted at host gator and other host sites, I don’t expect wp3 to multisite between different hosts (would be nice though), currently each site has it’s own installation of wp.
I can get the multisite install working fine, the installation does not recognise the add-on domains.
