Have no access to Dashboard of new sites

I already created the wildcard DNS and according to the forum posting that I have read in trying to fix this, if that wasn’t set up correctly, the sudomain wouldn’t be created. But it is being created… hence the “coming soon” page that appears when I try to visit the site.

The problem is within WordPress itself. As a result, Godaddy support would be no help. They would direct me to contact WordPress. Which is the reason for this post.

You are not paying attention to what I am saying.

I read the “ultimate guide” stuff. I’ve searched the forums for answers. I’ve read the codex and gone through the troubleshooting tips.

What is broken here is NOT something obvious, like I didn’t create the site correctly… or I didn’t set up the wildcard!

To prove this to you, I created another new site:
http://testing.akashicsoultuning.com/wp-admin/

And no surprise to me, I get the same result. File not found.

But I can “visit” the site: http://testing.akashicsoultuning.com
And get the same “coming soon” error. (So the subdomain is getting created correctly, but there’s no access to WordPress).

This is exactly the problem that I described earlier.

And it is very frustrating because I don’t understand coding enough to troubleshoot what isn’t working. I am here for that help. If you can’t help me, just say so, and I’ll go elsewhere.

I fixed it.

Turns out, wildcard DNS is NOT the way to go when you are on Godaddy shared hosting. They simply don’t support automatically creating subdomains.

If you want to use subdomains — and I do — you’ll need to manually create them in cpanel.

My multisite is the main domain so my document root was simply public_html
