Multisite Directory failure 404 (5 posts)

    Hi friendly forum folks,

    First, I've read a LOT before posting this. I read the forum welcome, and a whole bunch of posts relating to what I'm doing, but none seemed to solve it. I wouldn't dare post unless I had done my homework, and I think it's safe to say I have.

    It's the same old story I've seen a few times here:
    I enabled multisite, following all steps carefully.
    I added a site.
    The dashboard for that site gives me a 404 error.

    Here's the background - I'm running a LAMP server myself. I have full control and access, but I'm a linux noob.

    My .htaccess file doesn't show up in linux's builtin browser, but I can get to it through firefox's browser. The code for it is:

    http://pastebin.com/UTz4Hzqa

    I tried setting the permissions of my .htaccess and
    And my httpd.conf to 777. That didn't seem to help the problem, but did allow me to edit the httpd.conf.

    I added the following code to the httpd.conf myself, in random hopes that it would help.

    <Directory />
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

    Been there. ;)

    Is the .htaccess file in the same folder as wp-config.php?

    I added the following code to the httpd.conf myself, in random hopes that it would help.

    <Directory />
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    Any ideas?

    AllowOverride FileInfo Options needs to go in the section that pertains to where your local install is. ;) Usually near the bottom of that file.

    Thanks, Andrea.

    Yes, the .htaccess file is in the same folder as my wordpress install, and wp-config.

    That code that I pasted from the httpd is my entire httpd.conf. I feel like it should have a lot more code, or something... it was blank when I opened it. Should it have had specific info pertaining to my install?

    The file's located in etc/apache2 - does that sound like the right file?

    Per http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/lamp2/

    the file is in /usr/local/apache/conf

    Gargh, apache2....

    You need the file that has your specific vhost entries. the ones for the default host.
