MultiUser site issues

  • Having successfully activated MU, I am having issues with child sites… I have so far:

    1) performed a clean install of WP into public_html
    2) enabled pretty permalinks
    3) removed the www from Site URL
    4) modifed wp-config.php to enable multisite
    5) enabled network and chose subdomains
    6) copy/paste settings into wp-config and .htaccess
    7) created a wildcard DNS entry (*.domain pointing to public_html)
    8) created /wp-content/blogs.dir
    9) added a new site

    Even some hours after creating the wildcard DNS record I still cannot access the new sites (newsite.domain.com), so I edited wp-config.php to set SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL to false, and created another site. This site I can actually see (as domain.com/newsite), however the theme I set does not apply (page looks horrible, like no style sheet applied at all), and I cannot access its config page.

    domain.com/newsite/wp-admin – times out/page not found

    domain.com/newsite/wp-admin/index.php – returns error 500

    There are folders under “/wp-content/uploads/sites” called “3” and “4” (I deleted some previous attempts), and their permissions are 7/5/5

    This is a clean install, and I have no additional plugins or themes installed at this point.

    Host is “Hostgator” and they seem to support MU

    Please help me!

    wp-config content:

    /* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.exampledomain.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

    .htaccess content:

    # BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress

    The wildcard subdomain has no redirection, and there are no add-on domains.

    Not that this should have any effect now that I have changed to sub-directory, but I just don’t understand why it’s not working…
