Difficulty mapping a subdomain

    I’m having some problems with a wordpress multisite installation. I’ve purchased hosting from Bluehost and have successfully set up a multisite installation (installed in a ‘wordpress’ folder rather than in the public_html root) with several sites functioning just as I wanted–parking each domain and then using the domain mapping plugin to get the URLs working just right. I’m having a bit of an issue with one final site, however. What I’d like to do is to set up a separate blog accessible at a subdomain (radio.foo.com) for one of the parked domains I’ve already got set up. I’ve gone ahead and created a CNAME entry and the main site loads at the desired subdomain, when when I try to access any of the pages or posts at the subdomain, I get an 500 internal server error. I think that it’s a problem with the WP database, perhaps, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I’ve spoken with a few people about this offline, and they think it may be an .htaccess rather than a database issue. The same problem happens for any new ‘test’ site I create on a subdomain for the main site. The basic front page will appear just fine at the subdomain address: text.foo.com, but none of the published posts or pages will load. It makes me feel like I’ve done something wrong in setting up the primary domain, but I’m at a loss as to where to look or what to look for in trying to fix it.

    I talked to my host, and they said I had some bad code in my htaccess file–we renamed it and scrubbed it up, and everything is working fine now.
