What happens when you visit one of your subs-sites…what kind of error?
Maybe post the contents of your htaccess file here. Never heard of making an htaccess file “htaccess.txt,” seems like that would crash.
htaccess.txt won’t crash, it just won’t work. It’s ignored.
Subdomains or subfolders?

It is a sub domains. The error is the same you’ll get when the browser cannot find the page.
“Oops! Google Chrome could not find subdomain.mysite.com”
I C&P the content of the fresh install .htaccess into the buggy site .htaccess file, no change and the site just work as before, without access to the sub domains. The fresh install has a few sub domains that I can browse just as it should be.

I have the same thing going on with not being able to access the sub domain sites. Everything else seems to function properly. Just getting that error: Server not found at subdomain.mainsite.com
I set-up an existing single WP install (3.5.1 that was undeveloped with no content) as a network and everything went very smooth with no issues that I can tell of except that error.
Just saw some info about setting up DNS wildcard and I was wondering what that was about? I did not make any DNS changes and I was wondering if that is the problem.

It really is the best way for you to get support for your problem. It’s considered rude when you interrupt other people’s problem with your own.
thanks. I never used this forum or any other forum before.

I just found this post and wonder if this does matter at all?
Just make it subdomain, in the normal set up, but BEFORE you make a subsite, change it to subfolder 🙂

I found the issue. When using cloudflare, a special plugin needs to be installed to allow access to sub domain.
