If there is a sunrise.php there already, you'll just have to merge them as best you can.Edit wp-config.php and uncomment or add the SUNRISE definition line. If it does not exist please ensure it's on the line above the last "require_once" command. define( 'SUNRISE', 'on' );As a "super admin", visit Super Admin->Domain Mapping to create the domain mapping database table and set the server IP address or a domain to point CNAME records at.Make sure the default Apache virtual host points at your WordPress MU site or WordPress 3.0 network so it will handle unknown domains correctly. On some hosts you may be required to get a dedicated IP address. A quick check: in a web broswer, type in the IP address of your install. Illustrated installation instructions can be found here but you can ignore the instructions to place domain_mapping.php in mu-plugins.

Connect with Brian @CasJam. You’ve probably heard about the powerful WordPress Multisite — the WordPress configuration that lets a user launch several sites off their main site. It's not something that most users may know about, but it's worth getting the details to determine if it's right for your site. Below is a guide for WordPress users interested in what Multisite can do, and if it's right for them. What is WordPress Multisite? WordPress Multisite is a special “mode” built into WordPress, which allows you to create a network of multiple websites, all running on a single installation of WordPress. Years ago, WordPress Multisite was a completely separate version of WordPress, called WordPress MU (stands for multi-user). Examples of When Not to Use It Client’s Small Business Website: A few informational pages and a contact form? WordPress.com

MU Domain Mapping This plugin allows users of a WordPress MU site or WordPress 3.0 network to map their blog/site to another domain. It requires manual installation as one file must be copied to wp-content/. When upgrading the plugin, remember to update domain_mapping.php and sunrise.php. Full instructions are on the Installation page and are quite easy to follow. Super administrators must configure the plugin in Super Admin->Domain Mapping. You may also define a CNAME on this page. Your users should go to Tools->Domain Mapping where they can add or delete domains. The login page will almost always redirect back to the blog's original domain for login to ensure the user is logged in on the original network as well as the domain mapped one. Super admins can now choose to either allow users to setup DNS ANAME records by supplying an IP (or list of IP addresses) or set a CNAME but not both (entering a CNAME for the end user voids the use of IP's) Things to remember:
Create A Network Languages: বাংলা • English • Français • 日本語 • Português do Brasil • Português • Русский • ไทย • 中文(简体) • Español • (Add your language) As of WordPress 3.0, you have the ability to create a network of sites by using the multisite feature. This article contains instructions for creating a multisite network. A multisite network can be very similar to your own personal version of WordPress.com. End users of your network can create their own sites on demand, just like end users of WordPress.com can create blogs on demand. If you do not have any need to allow end users to create their own sites on demand, you can create a multisite network in which only you, the administrator, can add new sites. A multisite network is a collection of sites that all share the same WordPress installation. NOTE: If you are currently running WordPress MU, you do not need to complete these steps. Step 0: Before You Begin Please read Before You Create A Network in full before continuing. Step 1: Prepare Your WordPress

Multisite User Management Running a WordPress network? You no longer need to manually add new users to each of your sites. With this plugin, users are assigned a default role for each of your sites. You can assign different roles for each site or keep a site private by assigning no role. Upload the entire /multisite-user-management/ folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.Activate the plugin.Navigate to the Multisite User Management section of the Network Admin > Settings > Network Settings page. Yes, WordPress takes care of the default role on non-multisite installations. The Multisite User Management section is near the bottom of the the Network Admin > Settings > Network Settings page. For example.com this page would be found at Any sites archived or deleted will not appear. If you do not see your sites, be sure you are looking at the Network Settings Page found at /wp-admin/network/settings.php not a single site settings, found at /wp-admin/settings.php.
Wordpress 3 network/multi-site So has anyone put together a step-by-step on how to set up multisite on Dreamhost? I've chatted with two support types who didn't have a clue, saying DH didn't support third-party software and that DH didn't have an opinion on which configuration (subdomain or subdirectory) to use. All they were sure of was that a VPS configuration was REQUIRED -- although they couldn't say why. But what I'm actually looking for is a procedure to follow that has worked for a few people. From reading this and a couple other threads and the DH support Wiki (below), it doesn't sound as if things are predictable or stable yet. (from the wiki: Networks If you enable Networking (Multi-blogs) in WordPress 3.0, be aware that Dreamhost adds 4 lines to the end of the wp-config.php file, which cause problems creating your individual blogs in the network. $server = DB_HOST; $loginsql = DB_USER; $passsql = DB_PASSWORD; $base = DB_NAME; What I'm guessing, but it is just a guess: 1. Any thoughts? Cheers, Art

dbv.php: Database version control, made easy! Following is a guide on how to use dbv.php during all four of the usage scenarios: Scenario 1: You've created a new schema object (table, views, stored procedure, etc) and want to share it with your team. Scenario 2: Someone in your team has created a new schema object, and you want to update your database to include the new object. Scenario 3: You have made a generic change on the database (altered a table, dropped some records, pretty much anything) and want to share the changes with your team.
