Permalinks and Multisite not mixing well

    Hi there.

    I am trying to make a wp multisite work for the 2nd time.

    I was working on a different one the other day with no subdirectory setup on blue host…. the css wasn’t applying to the sub sites… Andrea said there was a bug track ticket already in process.

    Anyway, on a different hosting — webmasters.com — I was able to set up a multisite.

    the css applied to the subsites WITH the subdirectory chosen.

    THEN… when I want to get the permalinks working the whole thing stops working.

    Here’s the timeline:

    permalinks with no multisite work just fine

    htaccess file says:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    So, add the network stuff and make the htaccess file the suggested (by wp):

    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]

    and then it says the pages are no longer there.

    Not Found
    Sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.
    Apache/1.3.27 Ben-SSL/1.48 Server at Port 80

    Any ideas?

    Thanks as always!

    I hope this is clear. ??

    I just asked the tech dude that very thing, Andrea. Bump me to php 5 as the default.

    *smile*

    I am working on two sites now that I would really like to work without problem.

    If webmasters.com isn’t up to it due to old php.

    And bluehost.com isn’t up to it due to lack of wildcard dns (that’s the one without the cascading CSS to the sub sites — see my other recent cursed thread for details).

    Who is?

    Any recommendations on hosting accounts where multisite wordpress sites work well without burps, toots and poops?

    Thank you all so much!

    Andrea, I can contact you through your wpmututorial.com site for other questions I have for you, right?

    to be clearer: two different projects both needing wp multisite capability, one for sure with buddypress.

    I use LiquidWeb.com, but it’s a bit more expensive than blue host.

    Yep.

    I can give a long list of hosts outside the forum.

    Ok… the whole big bang may have been a “disk quota” problem.

    They have increased my “space” on their server and we shall see.

    I really appreciate this forum and all the good work, help and friendly tone here!

    Aloha stephanie, I am trying to host a multisite on webmasters.com, and cannot figure out how to do this with an addon domain. Do I need to make it the primary domain?
