 * I cannot figure this out. When changing the permalink structure to post names
   from default, I get 404 page errors or sometimes get redirected to the wrong 
   page.
 * I installed a test site and uploaded my export file on a subdomain and everything
   works fine.
 * I have checked that the .thaccess has the appropriate rewrite instructions as
   outlined in the codex. I have also tried renaming the file so wordpress will 
   generate a new one.
 * I have been working on this for awhile, does anyone have any ideas what might
   be causing this. This is my first multisite installation I have ever done, but
   I don’t think that is related.
 * Thanks for reading
