• Seems I need a 2nd (or more) set of eyes to help with multi-site installation. I get a 404 error when I created my first subdomain instance. Main site is interceptsupport.com, subdomain site is updraft.interceptsupport.com for updraft central installation.

    Here’s wp-config above the That’s all comment

    /* Multisite */
    define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
    define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true);
    define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘interceptsupport.com’);
    define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
    define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
    define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

    .htaccess

    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^ – [L]
    RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    # END WordPress

    DNS Entries

    interceptsupport.com. 1400 IN A 65.75.175.46
    *.interceptsupport.com. 14400 IN A 65.75.175.46

    Thank you for your help. I’ve got other multi-sites running successfully, just can;t figure this one out.

  • Have you have set wildcard domain?

    Pawel,

    Thank you for the prompt reply. When I do so in cpanel I receive a message stating it exists but it is not displayed. Message below.

    There was a problem creating the sub-domain:
    (XID qysyxw) A DNS entry for the domain “*.interceptsupport.com” already exists.

    did you resolve this. I have the same error.

    I removed the A record entry and added it as a sub-domain, then reinstalled wordpress and multi-site from scratch.
