Installed Multisite WordPress 4.2.4 – Getting 404

  • I just installed WordPress 4.2.4 with MULTISITE.
    I created a new site and get a 404 error.
    I have been reviewing the post and see people referencening the
    .htaccess file.

    I do not have this file in the root directory or anywhere.
    It is not present at all, but the main site is functioning fine?

    Any thoughts or ideas as to why the Worpress install did not create this file.
    I installed the main site through the Platform Installer 5.0 and enabled the MULTISITE after the fact.

    Also, need to mention wordpress is installed on a Windows Server 2012 running IIS.

    No responses? Any takers?
    Having the same issue as a couple others with the exception of not having the .htaccess file beacause I am running WordPRess on IIS platform. Really could use some help though.

    Regards

    Hey … This solved it for me ??

    There is an Error in WordPress ReWrite Rules for IIS

    Correcting WP-Admin 404 Error for Sub Directories for WordPress Network under IIS

    Original rules to add wp-config.php file.
    The Error is marked in BOLD. More specific – WordPress Rule 4, action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:1}”

    ?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <configuration>
    <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
    <rules>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 1″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^index\.php$” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”None” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 2″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”Redirect” url=”{R:1}wp-admin/” redirectType=”Permanent” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 3″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <conditions logicalGrouping=”MatchAny”>
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” ignoreCase=”false” />
    </conditions>
    <action type=”None” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 4″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*)” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:1}” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 5″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:2}” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 6″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”.” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php” />
    </rule>
    </rules>
    </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
    </configuration>

    Change the WordPress Rule 4, action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:1}” to WordPress Rule 4, action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:2}”

    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <configuration>
    <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
    <rules>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 1″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^index\.php$” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”None” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 2″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”Redirect” url=”{R:1}wp-admin/” redirectType=”Permanent” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 3″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <conditions logicalGrouping=”MatchAny”>
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” ignoreCase=”false” />
    </conditions>
    <action type=”None” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 4″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*)” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:2}” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 5″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:2}” />
    </rule>
    <rule name=”WordPress Rule 6″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”.” ignoreCase=”false” />
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php” />
    </rule>
    </rules>
    </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
    </configuration>
