[resolved] subdomain shows in URL but no access via dashboard (7 posts)

    wp-config.php set at subdomain true.
    Created new website in network admin, tried to access the dashboard but "file not found" with a url construct of http://subdomain.domain-to.com/wp-admin/
    Maybe I am simply thicker than two short planks, but I am stumped.
    Anyone out there have an idea of what is happening?

    You need to check that mod_rewrite is turned on, that .htaccess privileges have been set in your Apache configuration file, and that there is a .htaccess file with the proper rules in it in the root directory of your MultiSite install.

    Do you have wildcard subdomains enabled on your hosting account?

    @Tim
    This is the content of the .htaccess.
    # BEGIN WordPress
    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]
    # END WordPress

    access is set to 777

    Where to now - checking with ISP re @andrea suggestion

    @Andrea - do you mean have I created a subdomain in my website configuration?

    Once again, from the edge of the black hole I am now heading into clear skies.
    Many thanks for your considerate assistance. The problem rested with the ISP. I do not have access to the Apache engine.
    Seems next domain I get them to host will have a short list of "do this also" attached.
    Thank you @Tim and @Andrea_r
