[resolved] No Access to Second Site Dashboard (4 posts)

    I have followed the instructions for enabling WordPress Multisites (on a fresh install of WordPress using sub-directories) and my Network Admin section is working properly. I can add a new site (such as: http://bformandemo.com/test1/)and it will show up in my Network Admin dashboard, but when I try to access that specific sites' WordPress dashboard (http://bformandemo.com/test1/wp-admin/)or the actual site I get a '404' Page Not Found error. I received an email for the second site stating I could login with: http://bformandemo.com/test1/wp-login.php - If I try this link, I get the following error "No input file specified."

    I believe that my .htaccess file is correct and I'm not sure where else I need to look to clear up this issue.

    # 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

    Would appreciate any help or advise you could give.

    Thanks.

  2. The link loads for me. Are you getting that error when you try to log on, or right away when the page loads?

    Thanks for looking into it. I'm not sure what the issue really was. I spoke with GoDaddy and they were absolutely no help. Told me that WordPress was a third party program and I would need to contact their "help desk". Anyhow, I finally stumbled across someone who said they had the same issues running off the Windows hosting plan with GoDaddy, so they switched to the Linux hosting and it worked. I asked GoDaddy to switch my hosting plan yesterday and as soon as the hosting was back up, the multisite function instantly started working....

  4. Oh. Yes, Windows and WordPress is a hassle. The reason it didn't work is becuase Windows doesn't use .htaccess

    (Really, GoDaddy? Contact the WordPress help desk?)
