Subdirectory, Permalink , and Multisite Problems

This is my current .htaccess file.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>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]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Also, according the GoDaddy, livethedreamcommunications.com/combatkamasutra is giving me an error because there is nothing in the folder. This makes sense, but I’m am not sure which WP files to put in the folder in order to make the wp-admin functional for this sub directory.

Okay. I removed the folder from my file structure. I also updated the GoDaddy domain manager so both domains point to the root folder. I’m still getting the 404 error, but do I need to wait a bit to give the databases time to propagate?

I double checked the IPs as well as the nameservers and both domains point to the same locations.

I have the domain mapping plug in installed on the main site (livethedreamcommunications.com), but I have yet to map any domains. Should I attempt to map the secondary domain to its main address? My understanding was that I needed to map the domain within its own content manager, rather than from the main hosting site.

I apologize for going MIA. I just spent the last few days moving into a new place. The upside, is that when I finally logged onto each site yesterday, things were working!

Right now combatkamasutra.com is working and I can finally log into the back end to make changes. Now I can actually set templates, the MU-Mapping plug-in, etc.

The pretty permalinks are still non-functional on both sites. Oddly, when I logged into the FTP, the .htaccess file had been modified from the Multisite code I’d inserted. It now reads:

‘# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress’

I would simply go add the code back in, but I’m afraid everything might revert to the previous non-functioning state. The multisite set-up still appears to be working. Additionally, the wp-config.php file still has all the additional code from the mu-mapping plugin as well as the multisite install.

the setup.php file has this:

<?php
/**
 * Network Setup administration panel.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Multisite
 * @since 3.1.0
 */

/** Load WordPress Administration Bootstrap */
require_once( './admin.php' );

if ( ! is_multisite() )
	wp_die( __( 'Multisite support is not enabled.' ) );

require( '../network.php' );

I am not sure what I should be using from this file as the .htaccess.

Everything is functioning as it should! Thank you for your help!
