Multisite problem

  • First a backup ??
    For creating a multisite i was using this link:
    https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-enable-multi-site-option-in-wordpress-3-0/

    First i made a subdomain with directadmin.

    then i put this one in the wp-config file:
    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

    I logged in again and saw the configuration start for the multisite.

    So i made a blogs.dir directory in wp-content and gave it 777 permission.

    I changed the .htacces file:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    and also the wp-config.php. This is what i added above the: That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.

    ('WP_DEBUG', false);

define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'clouddog.eu' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

    I logged in again and it seemed to be working.
    but when i want to go to the dasboard of the fb.clouddog.eu
    https://fb.clouddog.eu/wp-login.php

    I get this error:

    Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2 Server at fb.clouddog.eu Port 80

    When i go look in the fb dir i see that it is empty except for the html file created when i created the subdomain.
    So no wp-admin.php or whatever.

    When i go look in the blogs.dir. It’s also empty

    I read somewhere that maybe the apache has to be rebuild but before i as the hoster i want some advice from this community.

    Thx in advance

  • First i made a subdomain with directadmin.

    Multi doesn’t work in a sub. The main site should be in the root.

    And why not just use the codex?

    The main site is in the root idd.(clouddog.eu

    The subdomain i made was for the second site. (fb.clouddog.eu)

    You don’t need to make a subdirectory, WP handles this for you. In fact, there will be no subdirectory, since the subsites are ‘virtual’. I think your subdomain now conflicts with WP. Try deleting it.

    Btw, please read the link that I gave you do the codex. When I activated my network, I only added the ‘multisite true’ line to my wp-config and all the rest (wp-config and htaccess) were handled by WP.

    Roy – Are you sure? I’m 99% sure you add the multisite true and then WP tells you what else to add, but you DO need to add it manually.

    The link you added in your first post is not a full tutorial. Please follow the codex instructions or these ones:

    @op
    Does your web-host support wildcard DNS?

    In their forum I found that a wildcard DNS entry is possible but the apache configuration that Antagonist (Dutch provider) uses can’t handle wildcard subdomains.

    @ andrea_r Yes I will do that.

    @ Ipstenu: Same here. WP tells you what to do but you have to add it manually. That was what i descibed in my OP.

    Then you’ll have to map them manually (or use subfolders). Are you using Cpanel or Plesk or some other back end managment?
