How to add wildcard to DNS for wordpress multisite in Kloxo?

Question

I want to add Wildcard to DNS in my VPS (for setup Wordpress3.3.2 multisite). I have Kloxo, and when i want to add it from Manage DNS ( in Domain Adm ), i face with this error.

Alert: invalid_subdomain 

Also i removed:

// Validates subdomain
if (!preg_match("/^(([a-zA-Z]|[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])\.)*([A-Za-z]|[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9\-]*[A-Za-z0-9])$/", $param['hostname'])) {
throw new lxexception('invalid_subdomain', 'hostname');
}

from /usr/local/lxlabs/kloxo/httpdocs/htmllib/lib/dns/dnsbaselib.php, but now sub-domains shows my IP address home. I want to setup it for this domain:310blog.com ,and my ip server is 178.162.231.63. ( for example when i make a sub-domain : http://saman.310blog.com/ , it shows Kloxo default page )

How can i fix it?

Answer 1

I solved it! if you want to add a wildcard into your Kloxo admin. You should follow these steps:

1. In your admin panel: Domain Adm->Manage DNS->Add A, in Hostname field you should enter:

*

And in Value field:

YOU_IP_ADDRESS

When you press add, maybe you face with invalid_subdomain error. If this happens, you should edit "dnsbaselib.php" in /usr/local/lxlabs/kloxo/httpdocs/htmllib/lib/dns/dnsbaselib.php, from your server, and remove this condition from line 104,

// Validates subdomain
if (!preg_match("/^(([a-zA-Z]|[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])\.)*([A-Za-z]|[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9\-]*[A-Za-z0-9])$/", $param['hostname'])) {
throw new lxexception('invalid_subdomain', 'hostname');
}

After that retry first step.

1. After step one, you need to edit httpd.conf in this path: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, and add this :

 <VirtualHost YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:80> ServerName YOUR_DOMAIN.com ServerAlias *.YOUR_RDOMAIN.com DocumentRoot /home/DOMAIN_DIR/YOUR_DOMAIN.com/ DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.shtml index.htm default.htm Default.aspx Default.asp index.pl ScriptAlias /awstats/ /home/kloxo/httpd/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ SuexecUserGroup USERNAME USERNAME </VirtualHost> 

You have to use your IP address instead of YOUR_IP_ADDRESS, your domain name instead of YOUR_DOMAIN.com, your domain folder instead of DOMAIN_DIR and your username instead of USERNAME. 3. after that restart your httpd service.

/etc/init.d/httpd restart
