All posts in the topic Enabling network spawning after install (Short link)

Can you describe the steps that I would need to take to enable spawning if PA
was initially set up with it disabled. When I installed PA I did not have wild
card domains enabled. Since then I have enabled them and would like to allow
meta-networks on the original install.

Right now in my local_config.php I have the base url set to
"http://j.sub.dev.domain.com" and I then changed $domain_suffix = FALSE; to
$domain_suffix = "sub.dev.domain.com". Once I do this I get the error whenever
I visit a page. :

Your $base_url variable needs to include the text %network_name% or spawning
will not work.

Changing it back to FALSE allows the pages to render, but without the ability
to create networks. I have noticed that on line 276 of config.inc there is the
following condition:

// Check that $base_url includes %network_name
if (strpos($base_url, "%network_name%") === FALSE) {
    local_config_error("<p>Your <code>\$base_url</code> variable needs to
include the text
    <code>%network_name%</code> or spawning will not work.</p>");
}

Is there a specific set of steps I need to run through to get this working?


Any help is much appreciated.
