Well that would explain the harried voice and the basic “get off the phone” attitude… Hmmm… so hopefully I haven’t killed my site in an attempt to “fix” something that basically wasn’t broken. Yikes! If you guys hear anything else, I appreciate any info you’ve got. I’ll go surf around and see what I can see… Thanks again! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Site Keeps Crashing – white wp-admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-keeps-crashing-white-wp-admin/) * Thread Starter [trinityavatar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trinityavatar/) * (@trinityavatar) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-keeps-crashing-white-wp-admin/#post-3987424) * Maybe GoDaddy is having a meltdown?

Thanks for the quick response… * Yes, GoDaddy. Yes, called them and they said, in a hurried voice “Reload your theme… good luck” and basically hung up. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Turn off comments?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/turn-off-comments-3/) * [trinityavatar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trinityavatar/) * (@trinityavatar) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/turn-off-comments-3/#post-2230231) * In case someone else wants to do this, I found that you have to enable “Discussion” in the Screen Options area so that you can uncheck “Allow Comments” on a single page. This will show a “Comments for this entry are closed” message where the comments would be. * Happy Trails! * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Multisite: 500 Internal Server Error on launch of dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [trinityavatar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trinityavatar/) * (@trinityavatar) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/#post-2639321) * OK… We’re back in action! Turns out that for GoDaddy you’ve got to connect the subdomain to the root directory so it this case the “folder path” is simply “/”. * Thanks for your help, Half-Elf!! Now it’s on to configuring… 🙂 * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Multisite: 500 Internal Server Error on launch of dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [trinityavatar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trinityavatar/) * (@trinityavatar) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/#post-2639296) * Ah… the plot thickens… when I set the subdomain to /html an “html” folder was created. As there is nothing in that folder, that’s when we got the 500 error again. Not sure why it came up in the first place once we set the subdomain to/ html…? I believe that’s also how I got the empty public_html folder, when I pointed the subdomain at that path. * For some strange reason, my error log has to be generated and according to GoDaddy that could take a while… not sure why it was “off” to begin with, but won’t know what’s going on with that for a GoDaddy “while”. * So… do we know for a fact that anyone has gotten this to run on shared hosting with GoDaddy? Losing heart here… * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Multisite: 500 Internal Server Error on launch of dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [trinityavatar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trinityavatar/) * (@trinityavatar) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/#post-2639284) * Nope, don’t have simple control panel. At GoDaddy, that’s a function of having a dedicated server, I’m shared. I’ll see if I can find an error log, and I’ll let you know what I find.

Could that have gotten hosed?

Thank you! You’re brilliant! The WordPress install at GoDaddy is at “/ html”, so the subdomain path to set at GoDaddy is: /html (if you did the “regular” install). No more 500 Internal Server Error! Wahoo! * Another question (naturally), now that the subdomain site is up, shouldn’t it be calling upon the “network enabled theme”? For some reason it’s defaulting to Twenty Eleven with non of my plugins activated? * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Multisite: 500 Internal Server Error on launch of dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [trinityavatar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trinityavatar/) * (@trinityavatar) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/#post-2639214) * Hello Ipstenu, Just checked in my GoDaddy FTP File manager, and it’s installed in the “html” folder, so I’m switching the subdomain path to “/html” and updating now to see if that does it. So the “can’t run Multisite on shared hosting” is“ bunk”? * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Multisite: 500 Internal Server Error on launch of dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [trinityavatar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trinityavatar/) * (@trinityavatar) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-server-error-on-launch-of-dashboard/#post-2639199) * I realize that this has been a “think out loud” kind of posting, but it may be helpful to others who are encountering these same troubles… * I just contacted “webhostinghub” to see if they offer better service and the sales rep said that Multisite is best done on a dedicated server, and that the resource demand on shared hosting is more than they will allow. I can only assume that GoDaddy could be preventing this from functioning for the same reasons…?

While Ipstentu told me to open a new one which has now been closed by Esmi? Any thoughts on how I can get my issue resolved would be deeply appreciated! Thanks!
