Internal Server Error For WordPress Multisite – Using Bluehost

Did you set up wildcard subdomains on your control panel?

Yes I set up my wildcard subdomain as *.mydomain.com. I spoke with bluehost support and they said that it’s probably because I didn’t point the wildcard subdomain to the same folder as the wp-config.php is in. However when I head to my DNS Zone Editor it sayd that there is an A Host Record set as “*” pointing to the correct server. Is this something wrong with my wp-config or htaccess?

This is what I have for my htacess:
# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

# 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).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

and for my wp-config (above “That’s all, stop editing”:

define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘entertainmentscribe.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );

Thanks for the help!

If your site is running from the public_html, then make sure that your wildcard subdomain is going to public_html and *not* to something like public_html/wildcard

If you have other content in your .htaccess besides the suggested MultiSite code, then rename your .htaccess, create a new blank one, and put in only the MultiSite code.

Genius! Thanks bh_WP_fan and lpstenu for all the help! Everything seems to be working perfectly now. Pointing the wildcard to public_html did the trick. Thanks!
