New Multisite install, not writing to subfolders?

In either case, Ive not seen any evidence of the WP install within the directory, or even the created directory!

You won’t. They are VIRTUAL folders. Don’t screw with your head by looking ??

Usually it’s mod-rewrite. What’s in your .htaccess?

That makes sense… Ive just read a few people saying this needs to be modified, the setup into I read never said anything about modifying this file…

#Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.4#
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.4

Oh … well god knows what THAT plugin did to jack things up. Honestly, if you can’t follow the steps here https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network you may not be technically ready to run MultiSite. This IS NOT a value judgement. It’s just a walk before you run comment ??

Anyway. Wipe that file and replace it with this:

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

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

Lesson learnt!!!… Thanks that did the trick!!!

Ill try to walk from now on, or maybe even a slow crawl for a bit first… Id only just learnt of Multisites, and seemed a great solution to a problem I had…

Next task, to get Domain Mapping to work!!! At least the plugin for this is a mnaual install, so no fear of it breaking anything – famous last words!!!

THANKS!!!

please read the walkthru for it

Yeah, the problem with those ‘install Multisite for you’ plugins is that you don’t get to learn HOW things tie in, so you’re less comfortable later on when we tell you things like ‘move the define call above the Multisite section in wp-config.php’ ??

Basically you skip steps and miss out on the basic grounding.

All up and running now, domain mapping working great!!!

lol.. working in I.T myself (data comss, pc support) I should know better than to use shortcuts!!!…

Im going to go through the links you have given so I know whats going on, instead of just trying to bodge it!!!!

CHEERS!!!
