I am new to WP multisite environment. I want to setup multisite in my local Ubuntu 14.04 environment. I already have localhost for my main site configured as carbazarlocal.com and its running OK. When I go to Tools > Network Setup I can see two options - Sub-domain and Sub-directory. I want to setup my multisites as sub-domains like dealer1.carbazarlocal.com, dealer2.carbazarlocal.com etc.
On this page WordPress says "You will need a wildcard DNS record if you are going to use the virtual host (sub-domain) functionality". How to do this and where?
In /etc/hosts I have the following entry:
127.0.0.1 carbazarlocal.com
In /etc/apache2/apache2.conf I have the following:
<Directory /var/www/html/carbazar>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
In /etc/apache2/sites-available/carbazarlocal.com.conf I have this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName carbazarlocal.com
ServerAlias *.carbazarlocal.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/carbazar
</VirtualHost>
And in /var/www/html/carbazar/wp-config I have this:
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
What else I need to do and where to complete the following step: "You will need a wildcard DNS record if you are going to use the virtual host (sub-domain) functionality"?
