jpx3m.com Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Good day all, I was trying to create a network in my wordpress installation in Tommy and this warning came up, Warning! Wildcard DNS may not be configured correctly!The installer attempted to contact a random hostname (38eb3c.jpx3m.com) on your domain. This resulted in an error message: cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: 38eb3c.jpx3m.comTo use a subdomain configuration, you must have a wildcard entry in your DNS. This usually means adding a * hostname record pointing at your web server in your DNS configuration tool.You can still use your site but any subdomain you create may not be accessible. If you know your DNS is correct, ignore this message. i was wondering if Tommy allows subdomain multisites thanks and God bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpx3m.com Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Nevermind. I added *jpx3m.com in cpanel and it works fine now. Thanks and God bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolstech Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 All of these issues are due to you trying to use SSL. cPanel can't handle SSL with wildcard subdomain DNS. The only solutions are these:Add each subdomain you create to cPanel, then let it install a valid certificate via AutoSSL which should happen within 24 hours (this isn't compatible with forced HTTPS unless you add an exception for the .well-known folder so that folder can be accessed over plain HTTP).Just use plain HTTP for everything.

Thanks. God bless. should i delete the ssl that has the *.jpx3m.com? and get a new one? Edited May 20, 2018 by jpx3m.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Not sure whether the wildcard ceritificate will work or not (you can try), but I do know you have to add the subdomains to cpanel one by one, then install the certificate for each of them. Adding the subdomain to cpanel does certain things in the Apache configuration that are required for the subdomains to work properly.

jpx3m.com Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 the wildcard ssl works as soon as i create the subdomain manually.thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
