HostGator and WordPress multisite

  • I followed this tutorial to get a multisite started. I double checked that I properly followed all of the steps.

    [ Moderator note: link fixed ]

    I am getting a 404 error. It looks like everything was set up properly on the wordpress end, I think it is an error in the coding or how I made the subdomains.

    I noticed in the video that the author could select subdomain or subdirectory. I did not have that choice.

    Any help would be appreciated

    There are many places where a video tutorial can be useful but I don’t think setting up a WordPress network is one of them.

    Without referring to the video, what steps did you perform exactly? Have you followed this article?

    first i went to my host, hostgator and created the 2 subdomains subdomain.domain.com the document root is public_html/subdomain

    next I edited the wp config file to say define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

    then i went to wordpress and logged in and created my network

    I copied the text that they give me into the locations they specified in the wp_config.php and the .htaccess files

    then I added a new site via the network panel, the site was created but when i click on the site to view or edit it I originally got a 404 error, but now I got a 500 error and a 403 error

    I think the issue is that the code in the config file is trying to map a subdirectory and not a subdomain but I am not sure

    This is definitely the issue. Word press is creating subdirectories and I am creating subdomains

    How can I configure either wordpress or hostgator to get my sites working

    WordPress doesn’t make folders.

    What is the multisite section of your wp-config.php ?

    What’s in your .htaccess?

    It is exactly what word press told me to put when you set up the multisite. I cant paste the code now but maybe later
