 * Can add new site to multi site but then cannot view site.
 * Could this be the sub domain setup problem?
 * Do i need to do anything at the domain management level?
 * Firefox can’t find the server at example.domain.org.

 * Go to whatsmydns.com
 * Run a scan on the subdomain.
 * What comes up?
 * If it’s red X’s you didn’t set up wildcard subdomains correctly on your server.

 * The .htaccess code WordPress generates is different to what Hostgator provide:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
       RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
       RewriteRule ^ - [L]
       RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
       RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
   
       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]
       ```

 * Hi,
 * sounds like the same except I chose a subfolder:www.mydomain.com/IT/
 * and everything shows up in main dashboard but when I click tto see the dashboard
   of the new site it just directs to a 404 page cant find it basically.
 * I also had a an issue with the permalinks. The main site home page was there 
   but the pages weren’t being found. I realised that the permalinks had been changed
   by Multisite. I changed them back to default and the main site works again.
 * I have sent my server (names.co.uk) an email about the .htaccess file.. still
   waiting for a response.
 * Is it worth me trying Domain Mapping? Will this make any difference?
 * Thanks for any help!

 * Brad Dalton … you have two WP .htaccess entries. Hostgator’s is … which one? 
   They may not have updated for WP 3.5, so use the one WP says to use.
 * 2tempo, please make your own topic.

 * Looks like HG haven’t updated the tutorial so i’ll use the one WP generates.

 * Help, I’m having a similar issue with WP Multisite subdomain install. A new site
   appears in network dashboard but browser can’t find the new site. whatsmydns.
   com recognizes the new site.
 * .htaccess in public_html reads:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L]
 * # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,
   L]
 * RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule
   ^ – [L] RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*\.
   php)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
