 * Hello world !
 * I read topics and topics since yesterday and I don’t find the solution to my 
   problem…
 * I trying to migrate a multisite wordpress from localhost to my server. All works
   perfectly on localhost but on my server I can access to the site and administrate
   all sites but when I want to access the second site I have a beautifull 404 error
   from apache. I’ve installed multisite into subfolder mode.
 * Here is my .htaccess :
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [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).*) $2 [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * And here is my wp-config.php :
 *     ```
       /* Multisite */
       define('MULTISITE', true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
       $base = '/';
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'sub.domain.com');
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       ```
   
 * And my virtualhost :
 *     ```
       <VirtualHost *:80>
               ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
               ServerName sub.domain.com
   
               SuexecUserGroup my_user my_user
   
               DocumentRoot /home/my_user/public_html
               <Directory />
                       Options FollowSymLinks
                       AllowOverride All
               </Directory>
               <Directory /home/my_user/public_html/>
                       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                       AllowOverride All
                       Order allow,deny
                       allow from all
               </Directory>
   
               ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
               <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                       AllowOverride All
                       Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                       Order allow,deny
                       Allow from all
               </Directory>
   
               ErrorLog /error.log
   
               # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
               # alert, emerg.
               LogLevel warn
   
               CustomLog /access.log combined
       </VirtualHost>
       ```
   
 * My server is under Apache/2.2.22 (Debian), PHP 5.4.35.
 * I think I missed a configuration somewhere on the server or missed something 
   on my .htaccess but I d’ont found what…
 * Any ideas ?
 * Thanks for your help 😉

 * Change `AllowOverride All` to `AllowOverride Options All`
 * The issue is that your server can’t read the .htaccess

 * Thanks for your answer Ipstenu.
 * I modified the virtualhost and reload apache but it still doesn’t work. I think
   my htaccess is readen because I have several wordpress with postname url on this
   server and it works perfectly. Mode rewrite is enabled.

 * There’s working and then there’s working 🙂 The fancier rules in the .htaccess
   for Multisite often stump servers.
 *     ```
       <Directory /home/my_user/public_html/>
                       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                       AllowOverride Options All
                       Order allow,deny
                       allow from all
               </Directory>
       ```

 * Does it look like WordPress or is it a generic Apache error?

 * I’ve edited like you’ve suggested but it still does’nt work…
 * >  Does it look like WordPress or is it a generic Apache error?
 * It is the WordPress 404 page which is display.
 * I finally workaround the problem by installing WordPress in multi-domain multi-
   site mode and no problem anymore. It works great.
 * I hope the Ipstenu’s answers will help someone who encounter the problem too 
   and view this topic.
 * Thanks a lot for your help.
 * Best regards,
    WOoO
