Unable to see theme on MU new sites

This is a common issues and I think we outlined it in the sticky.

Check the Apache config, it’s still not reading the htaccess file correctly.

AllowOverride FileInfo Options

Hi

I did add that line as you can see here

<VirtualHost *:80 >
ServerName wordpress_test
ServerAlias wordpress_test
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions Inherit

DocumentRoot    /var/www/html/wordpress
<Directory "/var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content">
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
Options FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

but it dosent work !

Did you recycle your http service?

And sometimes it has to be

AllowOverride FileInfo All

tinker with it.

I did restart the service

Sorry but it dosent work after this change “AllowOverride FileInfo All

“
Any other ideas ?

Thanks

Note you won’t be able to access the subfolder admin areas either.

make sure you have the right htaccess file.

make sure it’s being read.
other than that, that’s all we can tell ya.

Hi

I am going to try to explain everything I did :

First installed WordPress 3.04 on a new virtual machine

Then I enabled the MU ,I copied the lines from the site to wp-config.php file then I created a .httaccess file with the lines posted inside the network installation :

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).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

The I did some editing on the httpd.conf file as follow :

<VirtualHost *:80 >
ServerName wpress.il.nds.com
ServerAlias wpress.il.nds.com
RewriteEngine On
Options All
DocumentRoot    /var/www/html/wordpress

<Directory "/var/www/html/wordpress/">
AllowOverride All
Options All
#DiirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I have restarted the httpd service an mysqld service even did a restart to the host .
When I create a new site under Super admin -> sites or Dashboard my site and I try to access the page a can access it but all I see is text without the theme .
I have looked into all the logs : /var/log/messeges , /var/log/httpd/access_log & /var/log/httpd/error_log log and I don’t see anything unusual .

This is from the /var/log/httpd/access_log :

==> /var/log/httpd/access_log <==
10.63.30.95 - - [09/Mar/2011:13:15:52 +0200] "GET /wp/test1/ HTTP/1.1" 200 6726 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; MS-RTC LM 8; InfoPath.3; Tablet PC 2.0)"

Am I missing something ?
I know I am able to read the httaccess file because when I changed the file name and the file is not accessible I get a blank page with HTTP 404 not found error message .

It looks like it has to do with permissions but I Cannot think of something .

Does anyone have a clue

Thanks

Did you know that Options All doesn’t actually allow … all?

Try this:

Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All

I have changed the configuration according to your recommendations :

<VirtualHost *:80 >
ServerName wpress
ServerAlias wpress
RewriteEngine On
#Options All
DocumentRoot    /var/www/html/wordpress

<Directory "/var/www/html/wordpress/">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
Options All
DiirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Order allow,deny

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

It is still the same no images or theme is being displayed

Use the CODE tags, eh? Not strong or blockquote ?? Makes it easier to read.

Try this .htaccess.

# 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
