Have you tried checking for javascript errors? Admin features are js and a bad script can disable other scripts on the page. If you haven’t already, just pop open the Firebug js console and reload the admin page, watching for any errors.

This was my problem, since I’m trying to add a custom .js file and all of my admin quit working.

Hope this might help anyone else.

Ipstenu,

Yes. AllowOverride is set to All.

Thank you for the help. Also, thank you Andrea. I’m going to give up for now on Multisite and just get some work finished up in regular ‘ol single site wp mode. I’ll have to get back to this in a couple of weeks after I clear some work off my desk. Maybe reinstall apache/php/mysql from scratch.

Cheers!

I’ve checked to see if htaccess is being read by commenting out ‘Options FollowSymLinks’ and this breaks the process earlier, so I think that the file is being read.

If this is true, then could there be a problem in wordpress file permissions?

Does ‘Network Admin/Add New Site’ need to create any dirs or files? Maybe I’m missing somethings else.

[note: running on SuSe 11.4]

Thank you, both. I appreciate the help.

Yes about the domain, but it is running on:

https://localhost/wordpress/subsite/wp-admin

I’ll keep looking for reasons why apache would not be reading the htaccess file. I’m mystified by server configurations. They always look easy in examples, but never are in implementation (for me anyway).

I ran a stable multisite development environment on wp 3.0, but upgraded from scratch to 3.1.3 and don’t know what I’ve done wrong here.

Thank you. I am running sub-folders. And have checked my .htaccess against the example from the codex. Here is my .htaccess. This gets further than anything else, but results in a ‘page not found’ when I click on sub-site ‘Dashboard’.

Options FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

I am also interested in the solution to this. I’ve set up a new 3.1 localhost installation and am having this problem.
