 * Please help. As soon as I network activate, I get a dreaded Redirect Loop error,
   and I have to delete the domain_mapping.php file to get it to go away.
 * I am running WP 3.1.3 with multisite enabled, just two subdomain sites, both 
   working and browsable. I have sunrise.php in place, the sunrise defined in wp-
   config.php, and I verified that it does create the two domain_mapping* tables
   in the DB, both empty. I’ve tried dropping both tables and reloading the plug-
   in fresh, no luck. I’ve tried removing the multisite redirect lines in .htaccess,
   no effect. I’ve tried going through the plug-in code itself, comment out lines,
   etc but no luck.
 * I’d once love to even see the menu itself. Help!

 * Do not edit the site and change the domain/path to the mapped domain. Put the
   site back to its original URL. Then use the domain mapping admin screens to **
   map** the domain to the site.

 * I can’t even get that far – as soon as I network activate the plug-in, I can’t
   reach any Admin pages at all, I get the redirect loop errors. I can still browse
   both subdomain sites ok though.

 * As an update to this thread… I was able to get it working on a fresh installation
   of WordPress 3.1.3 just fine, and it works beautifully with two domain names,
   one mapped to a subdomain of the main site.
 * So, there’s something not quite right about the existing installation I have 
   with this site… I may just migrate it off this installation and move it fresh
   over to the new installation as a 3rd subdomain mapping.
