 * Seems I need a 2nd (or more) set of eyes to help with multi-site installation.
   I get a 404 error when I created my first subdomain instance. Main site is interceptsupport.
   com, subdomain site is updraft.interceptsupport.com for updraft central installation.
 * Here’s wp-config above the That’s all comment
 * /* Multisite */
    define(‘MULTISITE’, true); define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true);
   define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘interceptsupport.com’); define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’,‘/’);
   define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1); define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
 * .htaccess
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [
   L]
 * # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,
   L]
 * RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule
   ^ – [L] RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*\.
   php)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] # END WordPress
 * DNS Entries
 * interceptsupport.com. 1400 IN A 65.75.175.46
    *.interceptsupport.com. 14400 IN
   A 65.75.175.46
 * Thank you for your help. I’ve got other multi-sites running successfully, just
   can;t figure this one out.
 * ….. Rick

 * Pawel,
 * Thank you for the prompt reply. When I do so in cpanel I receive a message stating
   it exists but it is not displayed. Message below.

 * There was a problem creating the sub-domain:
    (XID qysyxw) A DNS entry for the
   domain “*.interceptsupport.com” already exists.

 * I removed the A record entry and added it as a sub-domain, then reinstalled wordpress
   and multi-site from scratch.
