Multisite Sub-Sites Not Loading CSS, JS or wp-admin

Hi folks,

I understand this to be a problem with the .htaccess file not being correctly read by the server, as outlined on these other threads:

• https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/multisites-no-wp-admin-css-images-main-site-ok
• https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upgrade-to-wordpress-30-shows-broken-backend-and-no-css-front-page-for-new-site

Obviously quite a common problem. My .htaccess file appears fine and pretty permalinks work on the main and child sites. However, wp-admin, css and js doesn’t load on the child sites.

I’ve setup and configured apache (running on a Ubuntu VM) myself but I’m not a total expert. My conf file looks like this:

<Directory /media/sf_sites>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Having looked around, I can’t see any fault with this and it was only after modifying it to these settings that pretty permalinks started working.

Where am I going wrong?
