 * I installed a multi-site network with no error messages. My primary site views
   just fine. Everything goes ok while I add my first additional site until I try
   to view the additional site. Then I get an error message:
    404 Error File Not
   Found
 * “The page you are looking for might have been removed,
    had its name changed,
   or is temporarily unavailable.”
 * I used a tutorial from Lynda.com to do this and followed every step to the letter.
   I have the wildcard sub domain, and configurations all look perfect. No error
   messages at all during the entire process.
 * Why wont the new site show up? Even the dashboard for the 2nd site wont view 
   when I click on its ‘dashboard’ link. I have done this whole process three times,
   called by Bluehost support to make sure everything looks ok.

 * What’s in your .htaccess?
 * Does the 404 look like the THEME or a generic server error?
 * What happens if you go to totallyfakemadeup.example.com subdomain for your site?

 * I go to ‘digitalgooru.com’ to get to my main site and it opens up just fine. 
   From inside that sites dashboard I go to ‘my sites’ and from the list of sites
   there I click on one of my new sites and get what looks like an ad for Bluehost
   with my domain name listed only i.e. digitalgooru.com. If I enter a different
   web name of any kind into the address bar of my browser i.e. fake.digitalgooru.
   com I get the same ad graphic. Its like the sub domain is not even there. Just
   a graphic from Bluehost that says
 * ‘Bluehost Affordable, Reliable
    Web Hosting Solutions Web Hosting – courtesy 
   of [http://www.bluehost.com&#8217](http://www.bluehost.com&#8217);
 * then lists several types of services Bluehost offers.
 * The only subdomain I have in my root folder is the wildcard subdomain titled 
   digitalgooru.com.
 * In my .htaccess folder:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Thanks for trying to help.

 * p.s. there is an ‘htaccess’ file in my wildcard subdomain as well and inside 
   it there is:
 * # Use PHP5.4 as default
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
 * other notes:
 * sometimes when I try to go to one of my new sites I get a different message:
 * ‘Internal Server Error
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, [webmaster@digitalgooru.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-231/webmaster@digitalgooru.com?output_format=md)
   and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
   that may have caused the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
 * Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying 
   to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.’
 * Finally, note that my wildcard subdomain folder is in the same folder as my wordpress
   installation folders i.e. ‘public_html’ folder.

 * That’s what you messed up 🙂

 * There should be no ‘wildcard subdomain’ folder. Delete it. Make sure the ‘home’
   location for your wildcard, in BlueHost’s panel, is /public_html/
 * Ask them for help if you don’t understand how to change that.
