• I’ve scoured the forums and I can’t seem to find a resolution to my particular problem. I’ve followed the directions to setting up Multisite carefully. I’ve added the wildcard subdomain at my host (Bluehost – which subsequently never shows underneath my added subdomains. Not sure if that means anything.)
    I’m to a point now where I can add a site, but it never shows under my dropdown (only under “Sites”) and I get this message when trying to access it: “The webpage is not available”

    From my reading, I keep seeing that if you get that sort of error message that your .htaccess file may be incorrect. This is what I have in there (which is exactly what the Network Setup spit out):

    <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>

    Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I’m not a WordPress pro, but I’m capable of following directions and have been running two WordPress sites successfully for 3 years. With that being said, please feel free to explain things to me as if I were 4-years-old. lol

    My domain is http://www.wegotkidz.com, and the subdomain I’m trying to create is curlz.wegotkidz.com.

    Thanks in advance!

    I’m to a point now where I can add a site, but it never shows under my dropdown

    Is your account the ADMIN of that site? The dropdown shows, literally, your sites 🙂

    Also, this means you didn’t set up wildcard subdomains right:

    http://dasdasd.wegotkidz.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

    The subdomains have to point to your public_html folder (or whatever ‘root’ is for your site)

    Thanks for your response. I got the new subdomain to show in my dropdown but still can’t seem to get any further. I’m with Bluehost and have followed the instructions for setting up a wildcard subdomain. I used the “*”, pointed it to my public_html folder and it says that it has successfully created it. I’m on a VPS and even went as far as to create a wildcard DNS entry pointing to my site server. That finally got me a 404 error page (when before it would give me a Chrome default “page cannot be found” with the funny looking dinosaur. lol) Would you happen to know of any other tricks I can try? Bluehost won’t help me. 🙁

    I still get to http://dasdasd.wegotkidz.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

    So again, not working.

    What 404 are you getting?

    (The DNS/Dinosaur error is because the DNS for the new subdomain hadn’t propagated yet. Translation? Be more patient next time 🙂 It can take an hour)

    Alright. Thanks for the advice on the funky dinosaur. lol
    I’m getting this error:

    404 Not Found
    The server can not find the requested page:
    curlz.wegotkidz.com/wp-admin/ (port 80)
    Please forward this error screen to curlz.wegotkidz.com’s WebMaster.

    I’ve gathered that this means my wildcard isn’t set up correctly, but for the life of me I don’t see where I’ve done anything wrong. I created the wildcard based off of the instructions provided by Bluehost.

    You’ll need to ask them what you did wrong :/ I don’t use ’em so I’m not familiar.
