When I try to enable network setup on my WP installation, I get the following error after completing the steps on the codex page. Everyting is done as instructed, but I get a 500 internal server error, and in my error log, the following error is present.
[Tue Dec 20 13:24:15 2011] [alert] [client 24.15.204.31] /home/caringa/public_html/blog/.htaccess: Invalid command '\xa0', perhaps misspelled or defined
by a module not included in the server configuration, referer: http://myeatingdisorder.sytes.net/blog/wp-admin/network.php

Which step causes it to fail?

Posted 5 months ago #I don't know, just when i'm done with it all, and click on log in, it gives me the internal server error.

Okay, you're doing it wrong, then.
Read http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
You're going to have PAUSES between these steps. Like when you do Step 3? Stop. Refresh, continue on.
So when you follow that, let us know what step it's failing on :)

Posted 5 months ago #do i pause after steps 1 and 2 also? and do i refresh my admin screan, or my ftp client.
-
Well step 1 (backup) and 2 (make wildcard subdomains if applicable) are both outside of WP.
Starting at #3, you add the ONE line to your wp-config, then you refresh so it you can go to Administration > Tools > Network Setup to see the screen where you will configure certain aspects of your network.
Then you follow those directions in step 4, which has you logging out and back in...

Posted 5 months ago #it tells me to add lines to my .taxus file, and it tells me to add more the one line in wp-config. i'm using sub-directories, I'm not able to do sub-domains.
-
I'm sorry ... to your .TAXUS file? I've never heard of that... What kind of server are you on? Or do you mean .htaccess ?

Posted 5 months ago #yes, that's what I meant. sorry, I'm visually impaired, and messed up.
-
Okay. It's very important to copy that info to the right file. Copy/paste if you need to.
Go ahead and add the lines to your .htaccess and your wp-config.php
Then log out and log back in.

If you want to hire someone, post on jobs.wordpress.net, or contact someone from codepoet.com - The free support here as limits (and one of them is doing that sort of work for you).
Go and delete all the cookies for your domain from your browser. That will log you out.

Posted 5 months ago #when i completed the text for the wp-config file and refreshed, it showed me everything that i could do for the network settings, theames,etc. but, when i went to do the ".htaccess" config it messed up. here's what wordpress tells me to put in the file
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] -
Yes. That's correct. What happens when you do this?
Is that when yuo get error 500?
If so, what text editor are you using to edit this file?
-
Posted 5 months ago #yes, it is. I'm using notepad to edit it.
here's the error i get when going to my website.

Here's what it says in the error logs
[Wed Dec 21 13:48:14 2011] [alert] [client 24.15.204.31] /home/caringa/public_html/myedblogs.sytes.net/.htaccess: Invalid command '\xa0', perhaps misspelled
or defined by a module not included in the server configuration -
How are you uploading that file to your server?
I think what's happening is you have some invisible characters in the file that are breaking it.

Posted 5 months ago #i'm hitting control C and then in my ftp client, hitting Control P. I'm visually impaired, and am using a screen reader to use the computer.
-
Can you ask your webhost to look at it?
-
Posted 5 months ago #he did, and he is totally blind. he uses a screen reader like me.
-
You mean you don't have a company, like Hostgator, that houses your website? This one's going to be a little more complicated, since I suspect your screenreader is putting in garbage characters ...
What would be NICE is if you could make a blank .htaccess file, and change it's permissions to 777. Then WP should be able to edit it for you.

Posted 5 months ago #will it add the stuff it needs to run multy site?
