Hello there,
I have set up the multi-sites option, then created a new site.
When I open the site page = host page
When I open the dashboard site = 500 Internal Server Error
Any ideas about what I have missed ? ;)
Thx.

Check your .htaccess - did you update that correctly?
-
Posted 10 months ago #Quite nood here on code. ;)
What do I have to insert ? Here is my .htaccess :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L] -
Did you set up wildcard subdomains?
-
Posted 10 months ago #yes, I did something like that ;)
I created a subdomain in bluehost with a * to setup the wildcard.
Tho, when i try to access the dashboard of my sub site, here is what I have :
500 Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@network.gay-worldsnews.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

You cannot make wildcard subdomains on add-on domains or on subdomains on some hosts.
-
Posted 10 months ago #I have contacted Bluehost - it seems it's ok for them. moreover there is a sud-domain option in the Bluehost's cpanel.
I have registered the sub-domain name and created the * sub-domain.
My main issue is that the '500 internal server error' shows me that I have missed some steps. Probably with .htaccess or with the path.
Im a bit lost here ;)
-
No, the 500 error shows it's a server side error, so it's on their end to fix it.
I have registered the sub-domain name and created the * sub-domain.
but did you create *.network.gay-worldsnews.com ?
-
Posted 10 months ago #ok, just did it (*.network.gay-worldsnews.com). Thank you.
Still 500 error. It's probably something basic that I forget somewhere.
-
No, it's your server. As I said earlier:
You cannot make wildcard subdomains on add-on domains or on subdomains on some hosts.
Go talk to your host. They will probably tell you that what you want won;t happen on their servers.

Posted 10 months ago #I have talked to the Host, here is what they just said :
Thank you for your email. Your subdomain works fine it just is pointing to a folder that has no files other than default files in it. It is pointing to the folder public_html/network
Which files I have to add in the folder ?
You see, Im very noob ;)
Thx for all your help already.
-
It is pointing to the folder public_html/network
Where's WP installed? If it's in public_html, point the subdomain there.
-
Posted 10 months ago #Thx Ipstenu
in public_html, I have :
- my primary site
- network
- wildcard
- wp-admin
- wp-content
- wp-includeshow do i point the subdomain ?
-
then point the wildcard record at public_html.
in your ealrier posts, you made it seem like your initial installation was in a subdomain.
you do not need to add subdomans to the host account, other than the wildcard record.
you do not need to move files to new folders.please go over the instructions.

how do i point the subdomain ?
How did you make the subdomain in the first place?

Posted 10 months ago #I have launched the multisite application by modifying the config.php and .htaccess, + adding the blogs.dir file.
Then, via the 'network admin, I created a new subdomain
and a wildcard access with a '*' on with my Host.Still a 500 internal server error, and still lost ;)
The Host support told me "the subdomain works fine, but it is pointing to a folder that has no files other than default files in it. It is pointing to the folder public_html/network"
Don't know what to do
-
Posted 10 months ago #New message from my Host :
"To add files to the subdomain, make sure that when you're connected to whatever FTP program you're using to upload files, you're putting them in public_html/network folder."
What are the files I have to put it there ?;)
Thx in advance
-
Yeah, don't do that.
You want to point the subdomain NOT to its own folder, but to where you installed WordPress.
Then, via the 'network admin, I created a new subdomain
and a wildcard access with a '*' on with my Host.Where did you point that?
You have a folder called 'network'. If you want network.yourdomain.com to point to WP, you need to sort out if that's a named mapping or not, and if so, undo it.
-
Posted 10 months ago #Thx for your answer.
In my Host's subdomain list, I have :
* subdomain - doc root : /public_html/wildcard - not redirected
network subdomain - doc root : /public_html/network - not redirected
It's not a named maping ;)
-
* subdomain - doc root : /public_html/wildcard
Are you saying you pointed * to /public_html/wildcard?
It SHOULD point to /public_html/
Ditto Network, if you want it to run from WordPress.

Posted 10 months ago #Here is what I have : (I cannot manage redirection for *)
Subdomains Root Domain Document Root Redirection Actions
* .gay-worldsnews.com /public_html/wildcard not redirected Remove
network .gay-worldsnews.com /public_html/network not redirected Manage Redirection Remove
-
Do you want WordPress to run both <anything>.gay-worldsnews.com and network.gay-worldsnews.com
Yes or no?
If Yes, then you need to CHANGE the document root to be JUST
/public_htmlhttp://dfdfds.gay-worldsnews.com/ should redirect like http://gay-worldsnews.com does (i.e. to http://www.gay-worldsnews.com/wp-signup.php?new=gay-worldsnews.com )
That it's NOT means you pointed the wildcard wrong.

Posted 1 month ago #I thought I would tag on to this thread as my problem is similar.
I have WP running at the top level and my goal has been to run multiple sites from the backend.
However, the only one that is working is the one with the domain name pointing to the top level, where WP is installed.
On my server, Pair.com, you can only have one domain pointed at the top level.
Shopviewit.com seems to be working although it's main job is to run a Miva shopping cart which is in a subfolder called mm5.
I now want andreehurley.com to show up but it won't - I have hard coded a index.html and put it in the directory and sometimes it showes up as andreehurley.com, other times as shopviewit.com/realestate/ (the directory I created on the server and in WP).
The backend is sort of ok:
http://shopviewit.com/realestate/queen-anne/It looks the way I want it to look, but it should be andreehurley.com/queen-ann/
I think that I have to have all the domains pointed to the top level and need to take the index.html out of the directory, but then I get the 404 page.
If I make andreehurley.com a primary, I get a user error.
Thanks,
Andree

1. This topic is resolved AND 9 months old, please make your OWN topic :) We like that here.
2. Based on this:
On my server, Pair.com, you can only have one domain pointed at the top level.
You have a different error.
