Domain Mapping Issue and 404 error

    I am having difficulty mapping domains to my multisite setup. I am receiving the 404 error when trying to access via A record an external domain. I have a subdomain install and I have no difficulty with subdomains directly under the main domain. I am on Hostgator and have not configured the ServerAlias for Apache, although the subdomain wildcards and mod_rewrite are setup.

    When I use the domain mapping under settings/domains, I do not have a choice to map the domain to the site.

    Primary domain is http://www.cnnrealtygroup.com
    Subdomain site is josh.cnnrealtygroup.com
    I am trying to map josh.norberhomes.com to josh.cnnrealtygroup.com.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Go to josh.cnnrealtygroup.com in the admin area, and look under the Tools menu. Is there’s a Domain Mapping section?

    If not, go to network admin -> Domain mapping. Check the box that lets that menu show up.

    You have to send josh.norberhomes.com via a CNAME because it’s a subdomain.

    I figured out my mapping settings mistake — mapping on user domain page. So I fixed that. I set up the CNAME but to no avail as of yet. To avoid dns propagation, I also added jason.childshomes.net –> jason.cnnrealtygroup.com as a new DNS entry and that has not worked. If I make the mapped domain jason.childshomes.net the primary, the other does not work. Is that the proper functionality for this plugin?

    there’s yet another checkbox that allows you to still use the original blog address for the admin area.

    BUt generally speaking, yes. when you map a domain you close off access to the old address.
