Thank you for your help and insight. Could you please recomend a host that multi-site sub-directories will work on?

Thanks for your help ambosite. I had the exact same problem on yahoo with the same 3.0.2 version of wordpress using the same TwentTen theme. That’s why I am trying DreamHost now, and yes I am seeing unpredictable side effects.

For example:
When I use the default permalinks, my network sub-directory site displays exactly the same as my main site. If I switch my permalinks to ‘Day and Name’ then my network sub-directory site will not display, and instead I get the error message “Not Found” “Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”

DreamHost says Mod_Rewrite is turned on. Does my .htaccess file look o.k.? I posted it below

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]

Thank you, I have informed DreamHost of this situation.

Do you have any idea if this could be affecting network sites that were created as sub-directories? I can create them, but none of them work. They all have a “Not Found” “Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”

My .htaccess file has only what the installer instructions said to put there, which is:

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]

I am having the same problem on DreamHost with my sub-directories not working.

Main site is working fine, but any network sites I create get the following error message.

“Not Found” “Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”

My .htaccess file has only what the installer instructions said to put there.

I am using a brand new one click install of 3.0.2 on DreamHost. It comes with the theme Twenty Ten 1.3-wpcom by the WordPress team already installed.

I just had the same problem today until I edited the hello world post. Now it seems to be working.
