    first, a big THANK YOU for this plugin!

    i have a couple of sites set up successfully using wp-hive in my bluehost account. when i try to add my primary domain to the hive using the same method as the others, however, at the end of the process i get a blank page, and a "host not found" error message.

    i think this is happening because i cannot unassign and reassign the domain -- i must use htaccess to redirect the domain to the wordpress installation, which is sitting in a subfolder of my account (public_html/hive).

    is there anything i can do to make this work?

    thanks!

    found the answer to my own questions! i was manually creating the hosts, and in the process doing two things wrong:

    -- i was entering the www. at the front of the host name (i.e. http://www.domain.com instead of domain.com
    -- i was also using mysql table prefixes of greater than six characters. the wphosts table can only accept prefixes of 6 characters or less.

    if you could include these tips in the documentation of later releases, that's be wonderful! (if it's already there, i apologize -- i didn't see it.)

    thanks again for a truly wonderful plugin!
