New WordPress Network Set Up

  • I just created a wordpress multisite network. Everything is fine except with the fact that I can’t access the dashboard admin page of the newly created site. Also, when I go to the address of the site, it only shows up index of/.

    I searched an answer to this problem but still the problem exist.

    I double check the database including the .taccess and config.php file. I can’t see a problem on it.

    Everytime I go to the admin dashboard of the newly created site, it says not found in the server.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Howdy @sarao06,

    A few questions:

    • Did you have the site working as a single-site install before converting it to a Multisite?
    • The URL you posted is a subdomain. Did you set up the subdomain within your hosting control panel?
    • Did you update your .htaccess file after you created the multisite installation?

    If this is a brand new site, there’s less of a problem with hurting the installation, so I’d think about troubleshooting this way:

    1. Make sure your main domain is resolving correctly. To do this, I’d create a new index.html file in the main web folder that just contains a header for testing. I’ve pasted some code below for you. Add that to a new file and save it as index.html in your main web directory.
    2. Once you verify that you’re being routed to the correct place when you visit your URL, I’d remove the index.html file and make sure all of your WordPress files are in that folder.
    3. Visit your main site URL to see if the site loads. If it does, try to log in.
    4. Open up the .htaccess file in your main site directory and make sure it contains the correct entries for your multisite.

    Test index.html code:

    <html>
<h1>I'm in the right place!</h1>

    I hope that helps! Let me know how it goes.

    I re-configured my network because my host doesn’t allow wildcard subdomain. So I used the subdirectory. Problem is, I can’t create a subsite. If I create one, it gives me an error like “site address is invalid or missing.”

    Here’s the link for my main site:
