Wordpress

Hi,

I got a question about wordpress.
I got two Virtual Webservers running OMV2 with the wordpress-plugin. How do I configure it that if I type "www.site-a.c*om" I access the Server A and by "www.site-b.c*om" Server B?

I know that wordpress has the option to make multisites but it doesn't work.

You would have to use the nginx plugin and create two servers using the name-based Host type.

Ah okay, but before I can do this I have another problem: I cannot activate multisite for wordpress.

I made

Code

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'meineLANip');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/wordpress/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

and the Network Manager appears. Then I have to insert something into htaccess in /var/www/wordpress/wordpress/ but this file doesn't exist? If I create this there or in /var/www/wordpress nothing happens. I only get
[b]Warnung:[/b] Ein bestehendes WordPress-Netzwerk wurde gefunden. Bitte schließe die Schritte zur Einrichtung ab. Um ein neues Netzwerk anzulegen, musst du die Netzwerk-Datenbanktabellen leeren oder entfernen.

Any idea?

And which webserver does wordpress use? nginx? Because I can't find a site-enabled configfile which is pointing to /var/www/wordpress ?

Nope, I don't use wordpress and even when I have tried it, I never used multisite.

Yes, it uses nginx.

The plugin does not use its own site. It uses the OMV web interface site. All settings are in /etc/nginx/openmediavault-webgui.d/openmediavault-wordpress-site.conf but you wouldn't want to change that anyway because it would be overwritten. You will have to switch to using the nginx plugin and manually install wordpress. You will have to do this for OMV 3.x anyway.

Ah I see. Do you have a Guide for Installation on OMV3?

thanks it worked so far. But how can I change the language to German? I wasn't asked during installation.

*sigh* I can create a second website now, but if I want to open it I get a 404 error...

edit: is it possible to use Apache2 instead of Nginx?

How would this fix it? nginx is not the problem. apache would cause more issues.

Just create two servers on the nginx plugin and follow my directions twice. Then you shouldn't need to use the wordpress multisite stuff.

Other than that, I probably can't answer much more about wordpress.

Nginx was the problem for the multisites because it doesn*t use .htaccess.
Installed apache2 and it works like a charm

but the hint with two servers should be a different goal

Just be warned that apache will probably cause more problems than it fixed. I have seen apache updates cause nginx to stop working correctly especially when an nginx site is on port 80.
