   hi ,all
   i have a multisite install locally on xampp
   i have setup wordpress with wp-config.php (allow_multisite, multiaite, etc..), virtual hosts in apache
   

   </VirtualHost>
   NameVirtualHost *.domain.com
   <VirtualHost *:80>
   	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
   	DocumentRoot C:/domain
   	ServerName domain.com
   	ServerAlias *.domain.com
   	<Directory "C:/domain">
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
   
       AllowOverride All
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
   
   	</Directory>
   </VirtualHost>

   setup hosts in win hosts file
   

   127.0.0.1 en.domain.com
   127.0.0.1 el.domain.com
   127.0.0.1 ar.domain.com

   created the sub domain sites through network admin
   and i can view all frontends
   the problem is that i can login only to primary site

   when i try to login to other sites
   although the login is succesfull (no error)
   it cannot redirect to admin section and redirects back to login page
   (cookies not set right) example:
   http://ar.domain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Far.domain.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
   how can this be fixed??

   thanx

   Actually i solved the problem (it wasnt a real problem i think) you just have to have the main site of the multisite hav the root url

   my problem was that i wanted to have all sub-sites of multisite as sub-domains eg. en.domain.com, el.domain.com etc
   this is wrong (this is right but for wordpress is wrong) the main (first) sub site has to have the root url ie domain.com

   This was my problem, of course you also have to setup your vistual hosts correctly in XAMPP or Apache and define server alias in virtual host entry as
   

   ServerAlias domain.com *.domain.com

   Also you have to setup the hosts file (if local) on your local machine

   Hope this helps

   Thank you for your fast answer. In my case the root folder of my webpage is already in use, so I wanted blog.domain.com and blog2.domain.com etc., now i have seen that this setup is not supported by the native wordpress network!
   An interessting discussion on this subject is here:

   It is relatively easy to alter wordpress core to have this functionality
   i think it's not more than 3 lines of code
   but you would have changed the wordpress core with all consequences (no update etc..)

   That would be too much for me, I'm not an wordpress expert, just stubborn and overambitious, I will try next the domain mapping plugin!

   The domain mapping plugin is when you want to map the subdomains to different urls but still they have to be created in the first placce as wordpress wants them.
   im not sure but maybe it will work
   Try it and post back here your experience for everyone else to see.
