please, can somebody out there show me how i should point wildcards to the root html location of where i installed wordpress. i am a little bit frustated and confused. i need help. i have tried all i know through .htaccess, all to no avail. the wildcard keeps pointing cpanel page

yeah, it seems im getting more light. if i try ‘anything.mydomain.com’, it redirects to a ‘cPanel’ page, which first two lines read:

Great Success !
Apache is working on your cPanel? and WHM? Server.

so if this is where the problem lies, how do i fix it.
thank you very much everybody.

ok dgilmour, thanks for the response.
this is my .htaccess file ‘as is’ below:

Options FollowSymlinks
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]

as an aside, im thinking of, may be, a plugin may fix the problem.
thanks for the support.

hello, i am having the same problem here. please if i need to update my .htaccess, what lines of code do i need to place inside it. wildcard subdomain is set on my server.

thanks, ipstenu for being there.

ok, dgilmour, i will do that right away. thanks

thanks ipstenu, i have done that.
one more question: in WP single site install, there are functions like getbloginfo(), getoption(), and so on, available to get info about a single site and to manipulate. in a multisite scenario, what are template tags available such that for manipulating contents to be served based on the site name/id.

for example, if i want a content for my mobile site only, what template tag/parameters are my to use.
thank you

please i have an issue. i have stripped ‘admin’ of ‘super-admin’ power, but when i tried to delete ‘admin’, it persists. and moreover, all posts posted by ‘admin’ now displays the raw php instead of processed content. can someone please help me out

thanks axel13 for the time alloted to suggest a solution, but i think i will follow ipstenu path. thanks everybody

thank you.

Hey alchymyth

Thank you so much. It worked perfectly well.

Yes, I did actually move WP to site’s root directory and then enabled WP multisite following the instructions on ‘create network page’. But now when I make request to the server, I get blank pages. Please can somebody help, I need to bring my site quickly. Thank u

thank you so much roy.

i moved WP to my root directory, effectively changing WP address from “mydomain/blog” to “mydomain”. and i also enabled WP Multisite in WP-Config file which showed up “network setup” under Tools menu. everything seems to be set for setup, so i swithced off my syystem to take a rest, only for me to start up my browser and navigate to my root directory, “mydomain” to get a blank page instead logging me in to my site so that i may complete the network setup.

i dont know what the fault can be. is it because i didnt complete the network setup before turning off my system? or where am i missing it?

this is the problem in sum: if i navigate to my root directory where i have WP, i get a BLANK page and that did not happened yesterday before closing my browser.
i need help . thank you all for the time.

sorry it seems im clear on that now. that should be a question of integrating my existing non-blog site with WP blog site.

one last thing, what if i have an index.HTML file already existing in my domain’s root. will i have to rename it index.html.old too?
thanks

esmi,
thank you for being there for me. i will do that. so, please, sorry for this ‘foolish’ question, what will be the result of this action. or let me put it this way: will doing this allow me to use WP functions in my old PHP files anywhere on my site?

thanks once again for the time.

hey esmi,
i have problem posting questions on buddypress forum. that is the i came here. i cant resolve how to start a new topic there
