Multisite Subdirectory Domain Mapping

    Hey all, I have version 4.6.1 installed of WordPress Multisite with a couple of subsites created. As I understand, domain mapping is now built in and we no longer need a plugin. I have followed as much as I can to try and implement everything properly, but have still run into an issue.

    The issue is this:
    1) My external domain (DOMAIN.com) does not map to NETWORK.com/SUBSITE as it should. It resolves to DOMAIN.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
    2) Also, going to NETWORK.COM/SUBSITE directly gives me a 404 from NETWORK.com as if my subdirectory/subsite is not there.

    As a note: I am able to log into wp-admin for the subsite and everything seems to work in the backend.

    Some backstory of what I have done:
    I created an A record with the registrar DOMAIN.com pointing to NETWORK.com’s IP.
    I changed the Site Address (URL) of the SUBSITE to DOMAIN.com.

    Anyone able to help? What’s going on?

    Can you change back the site url and make sure the vhosts config file points the domain to the same folder as your multisite and NOT a new / blank folder. If you’re using a tool like cPanel make sure you add DOMAIN.com as a add on domain and point the folder to the root of the multisite setup.
