Cannot Login to a Multisite

    Windows Server 2008 R2. IIS 7.x.

    I created a test multisite installation and created one sub site named “brevard” in the multisite “network.” During the installation and setup, I was told that it was going to setup URLs as path-based (as I recall), with no other option. Anyhow, I can browse to the sub site using 10.251.0.15/brevard. However, when I try to administer the site by going to the site under “My Sites,” I get an HTTP Error 404.0 – Not Found. It is trying to navigate to:

    10.251.0.15/brevard/wp-admin/

    What might be the problem?

    The web.config code provided by WordPress during the initial setup of multisite appears to have been the problem. I found someone who had made it work and copied their web.config. The discussion is found at here. The code for it is below.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
