I also have an A entry on my DNS with * pointing to my IP address
Then my host did some behind the scenes work on apache to enable wildcard domains.
I'm using http://www.site5.com/in.php?id=31639
The hostPro + Turbo plan gives you a dedicated IP.
(I am trying to recreate what a user will experience after upgrading to "supporter" with the domain mapping plugin.)
This is the first domain mapping to blog that I have tried on this relatively new wpmu install...
When you say parked, are you referring to setting nameservers @ lancesonka.com dns? or builderpress.com psek hosting account?
You don't seem to have anything to tell your server to accept any domain other than *.builderpress.com
You DNS is right, and the wildcard subdomain at builderpress is right, BUT if you want a domain mapped you either need a wildcard domain (full domain), or you need to park your new domain at the site.
Edublogs has a wildcard domain set up, so that step is missing from the users instructions as it is a server side issue.
WHOO HOO! Got it to work, thanks for the help everyone... a problem solved worth the cost of membership.

@Barry is there a recommended configuration that my host would help setup? (Have a similar setup as edublogs that alleviates that extra step of manually entering parked domains.)
I suppose this is what @jfelton mentioned earlier...
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is this wildcard domain setup? I don't understand how to do that...
I am getting that same "Could not determine user from environment" on projectblogs.com. I'm trying to map projectmanagerblogs.com as if I was a regular supporter user.

@lance,
Have you parked lancesonka.com to your hosting account?
Thanks,

Hi Andrew,
I followed the directions here on mapping: http://help.edublogs.org/2009/08/12/using-your-own-domain/

Thanks again for your consideration,

You are literally that one step away now.
