Separate Domains

In some Multisite setups a subsite will have its own separate domain name. For example if the original main site is mydomain.com the subsites may bea.myotherdomain.com andb.myotherdomain.com but not a.mydomain.com and b.mydomain.com.

Subsites of the same domain will be rewritten to the new domain name by default but when they are in a different domain namesthen you have to perform a special procedure. The way to handle this is to do the following:

1. Installer Step 1 – Switch the to Advanced mode (upper right-hand corner)
2. Installer Step 3 – Choose ‘Mapping’ for ‘Replace Mode’
3. Installer Step 3 – Set the new URLs appropriately for each subsite
4. Finish the install process
