 * Dear All,
 * I have downloaded and installed WordPress 4.3, got through the quick install 
   instructions and got WordPress installed and posted one simple Hi blog.
 * So after that I turned on Multisite support and create a second site, but when
   I try to view or go to the dashboard, I am getting
 * The requested URL /wpdemo/site2/wp-admin/ was not found on this server.
    The 
   requested URL /wpdemo/site2/ was not found on this server.
 * Am I missing something here? How can check if I have done this correctly? Are
   there folders created for first and second sites?
 * Charles

 * Hi Charles.
 * The only folders for new sites will be in the /wp-content/uploads/sites/. But
   thet is only for uploaded images etc.
 * Did our install wordpress in site root or in its own directory?
 * What does your .htaccess file look like?

 * Hi Frans,
 * First, I installed WP 4.3 on AWS, and it’s in the root directory of /var/www/
   html/sites/wpdemo
 * Here is the .htaccess
 * RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /wpdemo/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [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).*) $2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L]

 * Ok, I did not answer the question correctly. The WP 4.3 is untared to /var/www/
   html/site/wpdemo directory.
 * The apache httpd.conf has a entry – DocumentRoot “/var/www/html/sites”
 * Here is part of the httpd.conf
 * DocumentRoot “/var/www/html/sites”
    # # Relax access to content within /var/www.#
   <Directory “/var/www”> AllowOverride None # Allow open access: Require all granted
   </Directory>
 * # Further relax access to the default document root:
    <Directory “/var/www/html/
   sites”> # # Possible values for the Options directive are “None”, “All”, # or
   any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI
   MultiViews # # Note that “MultiViews” must be named *explicitly* — “Options All”#
   doesn’t give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important.
   Please see # [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options)#
   for more information. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 *  #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.#
   It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo
   AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride None
 *  #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Require all granted </Directory

 * Ok, I found the problem. So stupid of me, it was the line under
 * <Directory “/var/www/html/sites”>
 * AllowOverride None
 * must change to
 * AllowOverride All
 * After I changed the line, restart apache2 server then everything works now.
