[Tutorial] How to setup Wordpress multisite network with cyberpanel/openlitespeed

First of all you need to follow the Wordpress guide on how to setup multisite here
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

So the only change we have to make in openlitespeed is just rewrite rule

  1. for sub-folder network , you can use the following rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\\.php$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*\\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
  1. for sub-domain netowkr , you can use the following rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\\.php$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

But please do remember add wildcard domain to your current listener and DNS records

for example,

add *.your-domain , 2 domains should be separated by , (comma in english)

and also in your DNS records,

PS1. Do remember restart openlitespeed once you changed rewrite rule and/or listener setting to make change effective.

PS2. For Permalink, you will need to change to “plain” and then change back to other form you want , if you don’t do this step , category page will return 404 , I don’t know why and I couldn’t figure this out , but it just works that way …

I have tested as many pages/functions as possible on both sub-domain and sub-folder , please do let me know if you have any issue with it.

You need to get into webadmin console to add *.domain.com vhost mapping

is your wordpress network comes with sub-domains ?

if so , as what i can think of , only 2 ways

  1. manually request and get a Let’s Encrypt cert

  2. buy a wildcard domain , and LE does have , but you need to manually to do it as well …

my multisite on my-domain.com
my sub sites is subs.my-domain.com or other-my-domains.com (i added my-domains on my subsites with mmaping domain plugins)

that is i add ssl without cyberpanel ?

you will need a wildcard SSL

How i can

i tested this but could not.

"
Obtaining a new certificate
Performing the following challenges:
Client with the currently selected authenticator does not support any combination of challenges that will satisfy the CA. You may need to use an authenticator plugin that can do challenges over DNS.
Client with the currently selected authenticator does not support any combination of challenges that will satisfy the CA. You may need to use an authenticator plugin that can do challenges over DNS.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
    configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
    secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
    also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
    making regular backups of this folder is ideal.

:’( I don’t know , I think you better try on Let’s Encrypt continuity regard this wildcard issue , meanwhile I will check this out
