  • Did you use subdomain or subdirectory install?
    If subdomain: Did you adjust your nameserver entries?

    I used subdirectory option…. thats why I uninstalled and installed again WP, so I could use this option….

    My guess is your .htaccess was not setup correctly. After you configured WP for multisite subdir, did you update your .htacess file? I believe the .htaccess file is shown at some point.

    What does the 404 look like?

    WordPress? Like your main site?

    What’s in your .htaccess?

    my .htaccess looks like this :

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    
    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    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]

    the 404 page does not look like my main site, there is amain Title: “Ever feel like you are in the wrong place ? ” an image of a party, a guy in red t-shirt caribian style in the middle and all the rest of the people in black.

    below there are 2 columns of text :

    If you’re the site owner, one of two things happened:
    1) You entered an incorrect URL into your browser’s address bar, or
    2) You haven’t uploaded content.
    ——–
    If you’re a visitor and not sure what happened:
    1) You entered or copied the URL incorrectly or
    2) The link you used to get here is faulty.
    (It’s an excellent idea to let the link owner know.)

    I believe the htaccess is ok since it is what was indicated in the WP window shown when given the instruction to backup the wp-config.php and .htaccess file.

    It is the same info found in different manuals:

    Okay, that’s actually from your main site (view source, you’ll see ?? )

    What do you see at domain.com/sitename/ (NOT the wp-admin, the front end).

    I know what’s wrong.

    Your .htaccess file’s more complex rules aren’t being read by your server. This means you need to check (or ask your webhost to do this) if your httpd.conf file has AllowOverride set to either All or Options All
