# Multisite does not create new sites

 * I’ve installed the 5 Minute Installation in my server and turned it into a multisite.
 * Everything seems to be working but it does not create other sites. When I add
   a new site, everything seems fine, it sends me the email confirmation and the
   new website is shown in my top admin bar. But the site does not show up: the 
   URL does not work (Internal server error [http://obaiti.com/mais](http://obaiti.com/mais))
   and when I click in the admin bar link the Dashboard does not load (internal 
   server error). The main website works perfectly.
 * In the Network Dashboard it does not account the new site as well. It says 1 
   user, 1 site.
 * I decided to run the same file in my localhost and it shows the exact same problem.
 * I downloaded the latest file at [http://wordpress.org.br/](http://wordpress.org.br/)
 * Thanks!

 * Sounds like a .htaccess problem.
 * If you go to [http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php](http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php),
   is the site you created on the list?
 * Are you sure that the .htaccess file is set up OK and that your Apache is set
   to recognize it?

 * There was something wrong with my htaccces. I changed to what was instructed 
   in the network set up but the problem still there.
 * Now, the second website wan shown on the network dashboard but still nothing 
   there in the URL.
 * I tried to delete it. The site does no show in the [http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php](http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php),
   but still counting in the Admin Dashboard page: 1 user, 2 sites.
 * Really weird.
 * Note: Everything I did in my server, I did in my localhost. In localhost the 
   problem is fully fixed. It might be something to do with Apache, but I have no
   idea how to fix it. Help!

 * Internal server error usually means your htaccess isn’t being correctly parsed.
 * Do you have AllowOverride set to ALL in your httpd.conf?

 * Oh, now you’re really ahead of me. I have no idea how to find an answer your 
   question 🙂
 * This is what I have in my htaccess file (server and localhost – dont work in 
   server, works in localhost):
 * >  RewriteEngine On
   >  RewriteBase /wordpress/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
   > # uploaded files

 * Is WordPress installed in the /wordpress/ folder?
 * If not, change that to this:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
       # uploaded files
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
   
       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
       RewriteRule ^ - [L]
       RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
       RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]

 * It WAS. Not anymore, that’s why I decided to go with a fresh install. But I think
   I copied the old htaccess file. THAT was stupid. I did what you said and everything
   is fine now!
 * Thank you very much.
 * I’m just curious: How does a htaccess file look like when its not a Multisite?
   Just a regular blog?
 * Thank you again!

 * The default one looks like this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_and_editing_.28.htaccess.29](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_and_editing_.28.htaccess.29)
