    anyhow im new for the whole conspet and im trying to use it with multisite address I have few questions to ask just to clear things out.
    Im running on Win2k12 with IIS 8
    the fist site that I have create during the installation working fine under the wwwroot folder. no problem here.
    I have create another site on my IIS8 named design.com I did all the binding, and went ahead and install the multisite of wordpress create another site in wordpress admin panel with the name design the site has been create and when I look in wordpress under my site I can see both. Now when I click on going to the dashboard of “design” site it say it can not be loaded, I check under my folder that I create in IIS8 to see if the WP-files are there there is none, im not sure what im doing wrong but I sure something is wrong. I will appreciate any help remember im a novice in wordpress so please if you can be specific in your advice I will appreciate it. Thank you

    If you’ve JUST started with WordPress, I urge you with all the experience of my heart, NOT to jump into Multisite first.

    While you certainly can learn it first, it’s jumping into the deep end of the pool right away. Multisite is more complicated and confusing, and requires you to have good file-editing and DB chops before you seriously consider being a Multisite Webmaster.

    This isn’t easy stuff.

    Also? You’re on IIS and I can count on one hand the number of IIS experts for Multisite.

    WordPress’s sites are virtual, just like the posts and pages of WP. You don’t get folders made for new sites.

    ok so how about I copy the wordpress file to a different location so I can run just one site from there?. Can I just copy the files to the folder and be done with it or I need to reconfig the wp-config ?
    right now it is in the wwwroot folder I would like to have it in its own folder

    also when im try to pull the site up the only page that comes up is the IISStart.htm nothing else.

    You would need to configure the wp-config,php to point to another install. You can’t just have the files duplicated like that.

    In the most basic terms, you need to have it so that your second domain pulls the content from the first domain.
