WP Hive 0.5

    Just made the install and everything went "clean" with no errors. I am currently running a development site locally, and use "localhost:XXXX" to access my WP install and blog. Using the "Edit" function, I attempt to enter "localhost:XXXX" under "Domain Name:" and it is not accepted. Likewise, my "Sub Directory" is entered as "/username".
    The WP is not installed as a sub-directory (per a previous post indicating that Hive does not play well when installed in this fashion) and I am unable to access the new users blog site.

    Help is appreciated,
    Tom

    Tom,

    Thank you for testing the new version. Please send bugs / issues to bugs@wp-hive.com, or join the developer's group for more discussion.

    To answer your question though, WP Hive matches sites using a HOST name and a PATH name. The PORT (the part after a ':') is another part of the URL, which is discarded because in the real-world, all web traffic uses the same port (80 for http, 443 for https).

    eg:
    domain.com matches "domain.com" and "/"
    domain.com/site1 matches "domain.com" and "/site1"
    etc...

    You should set up your test environment accordingly, and assign a virtual host to the WP install. You can use your 'hosts' file to point test domains locally.
