   I searched the forum but can't find a solution for this one.

   I have multiple running wordpress installations, at http://www.fortherestless.com/forms, they are forms/diary, forms/newz, forms/media and so on.

   I am now trying to set up a multi site, but decided to do this in a
   different folder just to not screw things up.

   I now have http://www.fortherestless.com/login, with network enabled and several subsites; fortherestless.com/login/diary, fortherestless.com/login/newz, fortherestless.com/login/media and so on

   so I wish to login in http://www.fortherestless.com/login and then have acces to all the sites.

   So when I try to acces any of the installed subsites, located in their subdirectories I get a 404, the dashboard is unavailble.

   I'm on a windows server and .htaccess is not accepted, iirf.ini however is.

   this is what is in it at the moment

   # 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

   any help would be admired...

   I'm on a windows server and .htaccess is not accepted, iirf.ini however is.

   What kind of Windows server? Is it running apache? What about IIS? What versions of those?

   Sohosted uses exclusively windows server 2003, in combination with IIS6 (internet information services 6)

   so it reads on their site.

   I hope this helps ?

   URL's rewrite is also possible, but not with htacces, but iirf.ini

   That does a little.

   Basically the iirf.ini works the same as .htaccess.

   Okay, can you check if you have an ISAPI rewrite filter in the web server? You may need to ask sohosted.

   ok, email sent. it probably will be tomorrow when I get a reply.

   They do support rewrite, but I'm afraid that's getting a bit too technical for me at the moment...

   some info here:

   Google Translate...

   If the loaded rules do not work there is a chance that the rules should be adjusted. A situation that we often see going wrong is that it is necessary to place slashes at the beginning of a rewrite rule. A rule like: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php? rewrite = $ 1 should then be adjusted to: RewriteRule ^ / (.*)$ / index.php? rewrite = $ 1

   That's possibly what's wrong, but between having to rely on Google to translate Dutch and knowing nothing of this file, I'm iffy about suggesting specific changes.

   that's a correct translation, I'll go ahead and try this, in the meantime I'm awaiting an answer to my email. Will keep you posted as soon as I can.

   just to be clear, is this a correct replacement then ?
   edit: it is not since it is still not working, probably missing something.

   # 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

    Just a silly question probably, but there are no folders as the login page suggests.
    /login/
    /login/diary
    /login/newz and so on...

    I don't need to make those directories, right ?
    I have a blogs.dir in the wp-content (also emtpy) but if I understood it right that should be the case too.

    they support ASAPI, no word of them yet officially but found out googling around that they do have it on their servers.

    Correct. DO NOT make those directories. They're virtual.

    Hrm... That's the .htaccess I would have tried.

    This bit kind of confuses me.

    # WordPress
    #
    # Uncomment the following rewrite rules. For URL rewriting (Permalinks) activated in WordPress, you can
    # click to Permalinks -> Custom Permalinks Structure "click and as /% postname% / enter.
    # The rules assume that WordPress is in the folder wordpress.
    # if not the case, remove the value "wordpress/" .
    #
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule /wordpress/. /wordpress/index.php [L,QSA]

    Okay... I re-read this older post http://wordpress.org/support/topic/themes-applied-no-images-appear-for-multisite-sub-directorys-sites?replies=7

    It looks like he's using the original .htaccess as his ini file, but added

    # StatusUrl /iirfStatus
    StatusInquiry ON
    RewriteLog C:\windows\system32\LogFiles\iirf\iirf
    RewriteLogLevel 1
    RewriteRule /eurl\.axd/ - [L]

    to the top?

    I now have
    

    # StatusUrl /iirfStatus
    StatusInquiry ON
    RewriteLog C:\windows\system32\LogFiles\iirf\iirf
    RewriteLogLevel 1
    RewriteRule /eurl\.axd/ - [L]
    
    # 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

    and it is still not working...

    sigh...

    I'm gonna give up any minute now I think...

    The support at sohosted fixed it for me, it was down to slashes and spaces.

    Here's the iirf.ini for anyone battling the same issue.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /login/
    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

    also, this file is in the wwwroot folder, so one folder up from where my install is located, in the folder /login/

    Whew! I'm glad it was just semantics! I've tagged this with iis6, iirf.ini and sohosted, so hopefully it'll show up on searches next time!
