I definitely had (have) twentyten in my themes directory. assuming everything else went well, is there any reason to think it wouldn’t have seen the theme?

for what it’s worth, i tried to change the install to a subdirectory network, but that gave the same result — wp-admin was accessible, but the new site wasn’t (even as a subdomain). i just reverted back to a pre-network setup, and erased the tables that multisite added to my install.

come to think of it, when i switched to a subdirectory instead of a subdomain setup, i never undid the first, just changed the values in wp-config.php. any reason to think that if i give it one more try, going straight to subdirectories, it might work the third time?

thanks.

Got it. I assumed — incorrectly, obviously — that it was based more off of WPMU and that NOT having wildcard DNS was somehow manageable. Would have, could have, should have read the README, Codex, and FAQ, and frankly embarrassed that I missed that.

We have one domain that in addition to the main site needs several microsites, with different themes, content, etc. Since it was an upgraded WP install, the network setup gave me no choice but to use subdomains instead of subdirectories. I’m assuming that if I can get the WP install to let me use subdirectories even though it’s an older install, I’d be in a better place and wouldn’t need to worry about wildcard DNS issues?

Thanks.
