You’re enabling a network, not installing WPMU. WPMU is a separate program. If you’re on 3.0.2 of WordPress, then you’re creating a network. It’s not WPMU.
With that out of the way….
The subdirectories work via htaccess. Check you have the right one (under the Tools -> Network page) and check to make sure mod_rewrite is enabled on the server and actually reading that pile. Do pretty permalinsk work on that blog? Yes? No?
Thank you for reply 🙂
First of all I can not access the subdirectory admin!
therefor cannot enable permalink options!
permalink works fine on my main site 🙂
Also cannot see TOOLS>NETWORK from main admin!
(only see ‘category/tag converter’, and ‘press this’)
Im confused 🙁
I never had any issues installing subdomain network!
did you look at my non-functional sub site?
http://pokerxtra.com/pkr/
This should be simple, I thought subdomian was ment to be more tricky to setup, but I found that simple 🙂
Also cannot see TOOLS>NETWORK from main admin!
Did you remove the define? The one you put in for the very FIRST STEP in enabling the network?

umm…
I used the ‘multi site’ plugin, to enable my network!
http://jgwebdevelopment.com/plugins/wordpress-multi-site-enabler-plugin
I should have mentioned that in first post!
I still have the define line in config.php
is there anything wrong with the following lines in my config.php?
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = “/”;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘pokerxtra.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
my .htaccess
#Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.4#
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP :)))))))))))
FIXED
was my .htaccess file DOH!
changed to the correct settings and works fine 🙂
Thank you for the help!
If anyone else has same issues from using the enable multisite plugin, you need to change your .htaccess to the below code:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Yeah, MANY people are having an issue with the plugin, which only does some of the steps anyway.
Everyone really shoudl learn how to do it manually.
If anyone else has same issues from using the enable multisite plugin, you need to change your .htaccess to the below code:
only if they pick the same option. Readers, use the htaccess code the backend menu gives you.
Hi,
I have the same problem. I used the htaccess code that the backend menu gave me but I still cannot access the sites I created as subdirectories. when I try to login the new sites I get “page not found”. What could be the problem?
Here is my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled in Apache.
checked that and mod_rewrite is enabled…will be glad to hear other suggestions?
Found it 🙂 the problem was saving the htaccess file as htaccess.txt instead of .htaccess. Everything is working now!
Thanks for your help…
