Virtualhost mapped to WordPress multisite sub-domains

[pasing (Pasquale Inglese)]

NethServer Version: NethServer release 7.3.1611 (Final)
Module: virtualhosts

Good evening everyone,
I have a problem to map virtualhost to a wordpres multisite sub-domain. I tried to instal follow howto guide from the forum with no good result. so I decided to try to manually install wordpress.

I create virtualhost and I enable FTP load the wordpress files. Start the installation and I have a problem with the permissions on the folder virtualhost.

Which is the best way to solve writing problems?
I can set as owner apache without creating problems for ftp client?

I already tried to install by following this guide :

HowTo install Wordpress on NethServer

Nethserver-wordpress Nethserver-wordpress is a rpm integration to install wordpress from epel to Nethserver Maintainer Stéphane de Labrusse stephdl@de-labrusse.fr Installation Enable Nethforge repository following http://dev.nethserver.org/projects/nethforge/wiki/NethForge#Enable-NethForge-repository Install nethserver-wordpress yum install --enablerepo=nethforge nethserver-wordpress Each time you want to reconfigure the contrib you can do signal-event nethserver-wordpress-update …

but is useful to me because I need to install it for several virtualhost. For this reason I tried to do a manual installation.

I thought it was possible to enable multisite and map the sub-domains with virtualhost, but failed to complete the installation.

When I try to move the directory from “wordpress” to the example.com domain, wordpress not working.

i think It’s depend there are two of apache configuration files which set different parameters for the same virtualhost.

@stephdl can give me some advice to find a solution to the problem?

wordpress stores the url in its database, you cannot install wordpress with the url example.com domain and use the url example2.com, the css is broken.

I never used wordpress with the multisite, you should look for howtos

When I try to move the directory from “wordpress” to the example.com domain, wordpress not working

I was referring to this:

config setprop wordpress DomainName example.com
signal-event nethserver-wordpress-update 

as a result I have two files (wordpress.conf and default-virtualhost.inc) in the conf.d folder of Apache. Instead I should have the same settings I have in wordpress.conf for each virtualhost.

yes, you can chown the Ibays directory to apache, but it is insecure, you should chown only the config files and the data directory

for my rpm I add some permissions more

no clues for a multisite installation, never tried myself

I was referring to this:

config setprop wordpress DomainName example.com
signal-event nethserver-wordpress-update

what are the symptoms when you describe that wordpress was not working…no clues in /var/log/httpd ?

as a result I have two files (wordpress.conf and default-virtualhost.inc) in the conf.d folder of Apache. Instead I should have the same settings I have in wordpress.conf for each virtualhost.

my rpm installs the wordpress.conf, if you change the alias (/domain.com/alias) or the virtualhost (wordpress.domain.com), all changes are in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf. It is not designed for a multisite installation, even if the code could be changed. Like I pointed before, all changes to the alias or virtualhost must be done before to the mysql database, and after change the wordpress.conf by the config command you gave

I try to better describe what is my scenario:

Suppose that the second-level domain of my NS is example.net
i want to install wordpress for various third-level domains (vhost1.example.net, vhost2.example.net, …, n)

the first thing I created virtual hosts 1, 2, … n
install nethserver-wordpress from rpms and proceed to the configuration from vhost1.example.net/wordpress/

Completed the installation of WP and /etc/httpd/conf.d/ are two files that manage my vhost without conflict:

1- wordpress.conf for vhost1.example.net/wordpress/
2- default-virtualhost.inc for vhost1.example.net/

what are the symptoms when you describe that wordpress was not working…no clues in /var/log/httpd ?

when I try to change the WP installation from vhost1.example.net/wordpress/
in vhost1.example.net/ (only third-level domain without wordpress subfolder) with the command:

config setprop wordpress DomainName vhost1.example.net
signal-event nethserver-wordpress-update

inserting the two URL into the database when reloading the page is no longer displayed WP.

I think it’s because I have two files in a conf.d (wordpress.conf and default-virtualhost.inc) that set different settings for the vhost1.example.net

I stop here!

Also if active ssl for different vhosts does not load properly the pages and creates conflicts with the login page

[pasing (Pasquale Inglese)]

chown apache:apache -R /usr/share/wordpress/wp-admin/
chown apache:ftp -R /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/

[root@nethserver vhost1.example.net]# chown apache:apache -R wp-admin/
[root@nethserver vhost1.example.net]# chown apache:apache -R wp-content/

Using these commands can make it work, but if active .htaccess the site is no longer loaded and I view the default page of apache.

how can I activate .htaccess not create conflict?

how can I activate .htaccess not create conflict?

you are the root, get rid of .htaccess…be the master of your server

I hope to have solved

FTP uploaded Wordpress .htaccess error (RewriteEngine On)

After uploading Wordpress using FileZilla there was a problem with .htaccess file searching my virtual host web domain name in the browser the result was .. [image] 1) For first i thinked the problem was in httpd.conf with .php file in DirectoryIndex but all was ok.. 2) After i checked in /etc/httpd/conf.module.d/00-base.conf if LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.s was commented but it wasnt so all was ok 3) I checked if in httpd.conf /var/www/html if .htaccess file was activated …

entering this in the .htaccess file is not having problems loading

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

Thanks for the support!

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

I would be interested by a full howto on what you did, it could be interested for others…and me

Please do it while it is hot in your head and of course once workable.

Actually I’m preparing a talk on gpg…my time is short
