I am having difficulty with my domain mapping on Wordpress with Networking enabled and using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin. I am running everything on a Windows 2008 server using IIS7. I have the domains mapped and my domain host DNS settings are correct. The domains go to my server IP.
I have created multiple sites and can edit them via the dashboard but when I click on the view site link I to the default web page for IIS.
Do I need to set up something in IIS? I don't understand how the domains are supposed to resolve to the correct Wordpress site. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a domain, and so far I used WordPress to have a momentary website, now that I want to replace it. Can WordPress be turned off, so I can deploy on the same domain?
Yes, it can! But you'll need access to your/a server and to the domain management service where your domain is currently registered.
I just started hosting a wordpress blog on Azure. I'm using a DNS other than Azure. I've configured it to point mysite.com to mysite.azurewebsites.net The site is up and running, the only problem is that when i navigate beyond the homepage the url changes from mysite.com mystic.azurewebsites.net/somepage/
You could follow Configuring a custom domain name for an Azure cloud service and How to Redirect Your Domain or SubDomain to Your Windows Azure Website to redirect your domain.
I've installed Wordpress on a 'subscription' in Plesk (latest version) on my server. The domain related to the subscription is not currently pointed to my server. However, I'd like to work on the Wordpress admin area before I point the domain.
Can this be done? At the moment if I use the 'login' button on the domain in Plesk it redirects me to the actual domain. Which as I say isn't currently pointed so gives me an error.
Can I access the website via the server and the directory folder of the site?
Thank you
You can update your hosts file to map the domain to the IP address of your server.
If the domain were example.com and the IP address of your server was 111.111.111.111 you would just need to add the line:
111.111.111.111 example.com
You can find where your hosts file is located here.
I am working on a website LOCALLY running Win7 and IIS7. I want the website to respond to ANY subdomain request like "*.mysite.com".
How do I configure the IIS bindings and host file to allow for this? I can't seem to locate any good tutorials on this.
Thank you for your time.
If you don't enter host headers and your domain's dns records are set to point all subdomains to the website's IP address, the website will catch all requests.
I am not sure about your local setup, but i am running few websites on IIS7 where all subdomains go to the same site.
How do we point existing domain to wordpress MU site on another server? Here's the setup.
Server A has WPMU installed, with network setup of subfolders. www.wpmuinstall.com/site1
Server B has a domain hosted on it.. www.clientdomain.com
We want to point www.clientdomain.com from ServerB to ServerA www.wpmuinstall.com/site123
If above is not possible, we can switch to site1.wpmuinstall.com but then how do we point this site1.wpmuinstall.com to the siteid1 ? We have the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin installed but the WPMU is still setup as subfolders.
Please advise on how to accomplish client domain pointing to our wpmu site. Ideally we want to setup something like wordpress.com with custom domains pointing to subsites.
Thanks
If you are working with paths, install Wordpress Domain Mapping plugin and follow the steps described on this article. It will let you map a domain to a path in your server.
If you are using subdomains, then:
Add the desired subdomain to a site.
Point www.clientdomain.com to your wordpress server.
On your server, add the domain www.clientdomain.com and make it point to your wordpress installation.
Wait until DNS changes take effect.
Your site should be ready.
