Multisite not creating the “sub” sites

    I see there are a lot of topics that are similiar to this, but none of them that I could find give a clear solution. I have set up a multisite with sub domains but the sites that are created doesn’t have any of the wordpress files in it. All topics discuss the setting up of the wildcard sub domain, but stops there…

    I believe my wildcard sub domain is set up correctly as the url resolves, but it just shows the index of an empty folder inside of my _wildcard_.domain.com domain. The wordpress multisite files aren’t copied into that folder automatically.

    Could this be because of settings on the hosting server itself which is not enabled? Maybe the mod_rewrite?

    ****UPDATE****

    I changed the path for the wildcard sub domain from _wildcard_.domain.com to just domain.com, which is the same folder as the main wordpress installation. I left everything for several hours to propagate and VIOLLA! It suddenly worked!

    I think the biggest problem with most of these issues is patience. It took almost 48 hours for the wildcard sub domain to propagate and then another 4 hours after changing the path.

    Now I will just have to see that everything else is still working 🙂
