I'm pretty new to the Plesk AdminPanel. I own a Domain called riggiramone.ch. For a friend's project I'm trying to set Wordpress up on the subdomain mugi.riggiramone.ch. I did set up the subdomain and made it point at a subfolder of httpdocs (httpdocs/mugi). Then I have installes wordpress via the Plesk-own tool there.
My problem is that the subdomain mugi.riggiramone.ch is not reachable! I don't know why, I checked all the permissions.
Is there anything I did forget?
I think you are using external DNS server and due to that you are getting this issue. I will suggest you please check your main domain DNS zone and update the correct "A" record for your sun-domain and once you update it correctly you will not get any issues with your sub-domain.

I have installed a WordPress multisite by bitnami on AWS EC2, and then configures Route53 to assign a domain name to the website. I have been unable to access the subdomains created since then.
I get this error whenever i try to access the website. Even, the dashboard can't be reached.
I have updated the .htaccess file as per the setting available in wordpress admin.
I have had a similar issue. You have to add a new CNAME record in the DNS records with the subdomain name, pointing towards the website. Alternatively, you can also add a wildcard '*' CNAME to make sure your multisite works without issues.
Also, make sure where your DNS is being resolved if your DNS is being handled by your domain registrar, then you will have to make changes there.
Hope this helps.
I have about five different subdomains on my host that are all working fine with wordpress installed.
I recently switched from Godaddy to Namecheap and bought a new domain name.
I changed the domain on my WHM Server which was all fine with my current sites.
The problem I have is when adding a new subdomain and installing Wordpress the site breaks because of DNS issues.
The Wordpress auto install is also weird as it doesn't detect the root like it used to, it puts the sub domain name into a folder above public_html.
So old subdomains are working fine but adding a new subdomain brings dns errors with wordpress installed.
Any ideas please, I've spent a solid five hours on this already.
Thanks.
If I'm following you correctly, you...
Created an account and bought a new domain on Namecheap
In Namecheap's WHM (Webhost Manager), you changed the domain to the one you had with GoDaddy.
When you create a new subdomain in Namecheap's WHM, it's not resolving the subdomain
So based on the above assumptions, it sounds like your domain is still with GoDaddy, and it's still pointing to GoDaddy's name servers. So if you add a new subdomain in Namecheap, it won't do anything, because Namecheap doesn't have control of the DNS. And for that matter, I think your subdomains would still be pointing to GoDaddy's servers.
Again, assuming I followed your description correctly, I'd recommend you migrate your old domain to Namecheap since, I'd assume, you're going to close your GoDaddy account at some point. If you need to urgently create a subdomain, you would need to do that on GoDaddy's end.
Hope this helps.
Fixed the problem myself, for anyone with a similar issue. I even went through Hostgator support who couldn't figure out the problem.
Logged into WHM > DNS Functions > Edit DNS Zone
The sub domain in question was not named correctly, it was named as the directory name instead of the full url.
I have been making a website for a friend of mine.

It's for a school. Now I want to move the entire WordPress site to his domain.
I was going to follow this guide: (also unless I am mistaken this guide says I don't need to install WordPress on the new domain, the install.bak that the plugin creates. will install it for me???)
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-move-wordpress-to-a-new-domain-without-losing-seo/
But I wanted to know if the SO community knew a better way?
Does your domain have a host? if yes download your existing file and upload it to host.
https://ph.godaddy.com/help/upload-files-3239
also dont forget to configure your database in host..
It's easiest way drop a mail or call to hostiong provider say i want to change domain name and set DNS server to new domain and change DNS to old domain.
and check... :)
Iam using hostgator and I want to move my wordpress application from the root directory 'home/username/' to a new directory which is 'home/username/mysite' and the website url should be mysite.com, I tried to do that but now my website url is mysite.com/mysite, so what I could do ?
Unfortunately, Hostgator cPanel does not allow you to change the root folder of the primary domain to anything other than the default public_html folder yourself. If you really need to do it, you need to contact their migrations department. Also, please note that this only works for a VPS or a Dedicated server.
There is, however, a workaround to avoid going through this process to achieve the desired result:
Change the primary domain name on your Hostgator account to something else. (mynewsite.com)
Now create an add-on domain with the original domain name. (mysite.com)
Point the add-on domain mysite.com to the new folder that contains the Wordpress installation. (home/username/mysite)
Your original domain name will now point to the new folder as you desired.
It's not pretty, I admit, but it gets the job done.
Not supported by Hostgator. Please read this
Our company is trying to transition to WordPress Multisite but we have several issues working against us at the moment. We host WP outside our server environment (we use Amazon for our WP sites) so we actually have to use an URL proxy to our Amazon servers. The other issue is that we needed to install Multisite in the root of the folder so the domain is http://100.10.20.30/foldername but we can't proxy that to http://www.domain.com/foldername because that is a live site that we're not moving to WP any time soon. So, of course, the problem we're running in to is that the IP is showing up not only in the source code but in Google now as well (which we don't want).
Does anyone know of anything we can do to keep the IP out of the source code/Google? I was thinking about rewrite rules in the htaccess file but didn't want to do anything until I had some better ideas.
Also, I can't use the domain mapping plugin that everyone seems to suggest for this type of issue because our sites aren't hosted in the root of our server (a prerequisite for the plugin).
So to break it down, this is what we need:
Multisite Parent Blog <-- This has to be the IP address
Multisite child blogs <-- Domain name but when we set the actual proxied domain name in the settings we get a 404 error because it's not looking in the right place. It's looking for an actual folder on our internal servers.
Thanks!
Found the solution myself. Posted below:
In the Multisite dashboard, click on "All Sites" then administer the specific site.
Under the "Path" field, you'll need to deselect the "Update siteurl and home as well."
Save changes.
Click on "Settings" tab.
Change the URL in the following fields: "SiteURL" and "Home"
Save changes.
When all is said and done, the IP is showing in the "Info" tab but it changes the URL in the source code to your domain.
