Rob

I will go on record and say we are having the same problem. Love the plugin, hope this helps

*bows at the alter of Mika for helping once again*

Thanks!

super admin

ok, that worked, and I found the offender, I activate most plugins at subsite, but had this one network activated. Hence I thought I had them all turned off….thank you so much mika!

after that do i test the site to see if it works? restart apache? change name back if it does work? If this gets it to work, then I like it. You have been so helpful, thank you.

new subsite works, I am able to go right to the hello world post

so maybe some of my steps can help find a problem

1. moved database to another server, this happened a few weeks ago and has been working correctly all getting me ready to do this move.
2. installed LAMP on my new server. including making sure mod-rewrite was loaded and running.
3. copied files from old server to new server (including but not limited to ones you have already seen) I literally just copied all my files from root of old server to my /var/www/. Did not run any installation scripts or anything.
4.wp-config.php from old server already points to database
5..htaccess as shown earlier.
6. http.config as shown earlier.
7. file permissions and ownership all set

really is strange that top level list works and i get 404’s on subsites

ny .htaccess is currently the one I posted earlier. by the way thanks for all your help slugging through this!

That is correct.

I changed the AllowOverride as you suggested and restarted apache to make sure it was all good and still get my lovely 404 page.

as another note i have AllowOverride ALL for

<Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride ALL
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

no name changes

sorry got busy, plugins are off. still 404’n

yes 404’s

Interesting stuff, I got rid of the wptotal cache stuff and changed my .htaccess to look like the following

# 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

top level site now works but subsites dont work still.
