Hi,

I am trying to install WP-hive on my site ( http://wp-hive.com/ ). One of the installation instructions is:
Use your Webserver Administration (Cpanel, IIS, etc..) to point any domains you want to use in the hive to the Wordpress directory.​

I thought that this might just mean a 301 redirect, but according to what I found in their support forums, "You definitely don't want it to redirect - if it is a 301, then WP Hive can't read the proper hostname and decide which site the request is for. The idea is to have the webserver serve the files from the same directory for all the sites in the hive."

According to this, in cpanel it would be an "addon domain."

Can anyone help me out with what I should do to get this working in DirectAdmin?
 
I dont use cpanel have no clue what an addon domain is. Maybe you want domain pointer.
 
The only problem is that my domain pointer page only allows me to do domain pointers to the root domain. What if I want to do a pointer to another subdomain?

Edit: root domain, not source domain, duh

You have to add the subdomain as a 2nd domain then with domain administration.
 
Ah, thanks. I did that, but it's still behaving a bit oddly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding, if I have these two subdomains:
veryless.nyet-nyet.net and pickyeater.nyet-nyet.net

On veryless.nyet-nyet.net there exists a wp-admin/install.php that I can access via the following URL:
veryless.nyet-nyet.net/testfolder/test.php

if I point pickyeater.nyet-nyet.net to veryless.nyet-nyet.net, from what I understand, I should be able to go to:
pickyeater.nyet-nyet.net/testfolder/test.php

But right now I'm getting a 404 not found error. Am I doing something wrong or is my understanding off somewhere?
 
Don't know. Can't trace. Because I can't get an A record for either nyet-nyet.net or for pickyeater.nyet-nyet.net. Nor can I get an NS record for nyet-nyet.net.

It appears you've got a fundamental problem in how you're hosting your DNS.
