403 Error on Subdomans After MU Install

  • I am trying to setup MU on a single domain (mycompany.com), where I can have a seperate subdomain for each state, ie. (alabama.mycompany.com).

    I followed the install walk through choosing “Subdomains” in my configuration.

    Everything seemed to go fine, but after the MU installation when I go to “alabama.mycompany.com”, I get a 403 Forbidden.

    When I try to go to the admin panel for that same subdomain, “alabama.mycompany.com/wp-admin”, I get a 500 error.

    I am on Godaddy 4G hosting. I did call to ensure my hosting package supports WP MU.

    The Godaddy tech had me create, in GD domain management panel, create subdomains under my primary domain for each state.

    I have ONE wordpress install under “mycompany.com”.

    I did make the needed changes to wp-config.php and my .htaccess file, as well as the sunrise.php file.

    In the backend on WP I can create new sites (subdomains)just fine, but the folders FOR my subdomains are empty and I get the default nodaddy error that no site exist in that folder.

    Any ideas?

    There are never folders for your subdomains with multisite (except in blogs.dir).

    Are you sure you’re pointing the subdomains to the root install?

    Also why are you messing with sunrise.php? You aren’t suppose to map subdomains in WP, you create the site, and tell the server where the subdomain lives (wherever mydomain.com lives).
