Subdomains don't work after moving the multisite (5 posts)

    Hello,
    I had multisite working on a server with older version PHP. In order to upgrade to WP 3.2.1 I had to ask my host to upgrade to higher PHP version. I backed everything up, and after upgrade moved the files back to the server, restored the database, I made the .htaccess writable and I was told the wildcards were also set up. The main site is working, but the subdomains show only default Plesk index page. Even when I create new sites, it's the same problem. Do I need to restore the backup in different way, or am I missing something?
    Thanks for any help!

    [edit: maybe worth mentioning that main domain only works without www prefix, with www it shows default plesk page too)

    What happens if you try to ping a subdomain? If the wildcard is in place and working, you should get a response. If it's not, you won't. I think...

    Thank you for reply. Yes it gives response on a subdomain, when I ping it it shows some details. So if it means the wildcard is working, what else could be a problem?

    It could be a problem with the rewrite rules in your .htaccess file. Does it contain rewrite rules like the subdomain example here:

    The main site is working, but the subdomains show only default Plesk index page.

    Where did you map the subdomains to in your httpd.conf file ?
