   Hello, first post here. I am glad to see this is a very active community and hope to get this issue resolved.

   First, I would like to say I have followed through this PDF: http://wpebooks.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2011/08/CreateAWordPressNetwork.pdf

   I complete every task until I come to the Login again section. I attempt to login which directs me to a page with my theme (I use Gleam theme from Elegant Themes) with the words "Registration has been disabled."

   Note: My Gleam theme's coding also looks a bit broken as well when I surf through the site pages.

   Am I missing anything important? Do I have to upgrade my hosting (hosting info below)?
   I have attempted the following fixes (with no success):
   1. .htaccess and Mod Rewrite & the Switching network types - http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#Network_Admin_Link_Location

   2. I've taken out the "www" in the wp-config.php file with a blank theme'd page.

   Currently, I have put everything back to normal on the back end.

   Specs info:
   I have a GoDaddy domain account with "A @ 50.63.214.131" set in the domain control panel.
   GoDaddy hosting plan with "Hosting - Web - Deluxe - Linux" package.
   I use FileZilla to edit my FTP files.

   To fix the problem with registration, go to your Network Admin > Settings and select the appropriate option in "Allow new registrations".

   Pippin: I cannot get into the Network Admin > Settings area to do this. Once I activate (install) the WordPress Network and attempt to Login, I get a blank page with "Registration has been disabled" message.

   Can you get to the Network Admin at all?

   Only if I revert my .htaccess and wp-config files to what they were before.

   I'm hunting online and learning that the problem may rely inside my .htaccess coding.

   Currently the code in my ".htaccess" is:
   

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mdpdance.com$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mdpdance.com/$1 [R=301,L]
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [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]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   I've added these lines:
   

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mdpdance.com$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mdpdance.com/$1 [R=301,L]

   I added them because of this: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/14383/multisite-non-www-domain-redirects-to-sign-up

   But still no go.

   Did you setup the network install manually or with a plugin, such as Enable Multisite?

   I setup manually. I am using FileZilla to edit and upload my files.

   Going to this page triggers "User registration is not enabled"? /wp-admin/network/settings.php

   Having www in your domain name has always been squidgy with WP and especially with Mulltisite.

   If this is a brand new install, I would clean it out and start over, this time as domain.com, NO www. If its not new, I would delete the multisite stuff, change it to domain.com, and start over.

   It's just less of a headache.

    Thank you Ipstenu.
    This resolved my problems. I can now edit multi sites by doing what you said.

    And thank you Pippin for trying to help.
