Finally, It took awhile, but I now have this fully operational.. Whoo Hoo! AND it is working on the 1and1 servers.

Basically, the problem turned out to be that 1and1 defaults their system to use php 4 instead of php5 so you have to force the system to use php5. To do this, you have to edit your .htaccess file to add these two lines (put them at the very top before everything else):

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

Now when you do a phpinfo() you will see that it is running version 5.

what code did you add to the .htaccess file for 1and1 php5??

Andrea_j, I am going to uninstall 3.0 and reinstall 2.9. It was all working in that version. So I will confirm if 2.9 is working then we can isolate and prove that the problem is a bug in 3.0..

I am not using subdomains.. I am using the subdirectories so changing to wildcard and subdomains is not applicable to this problem.

Thanks for playing!

I take it back, it is showing up under “blogs” in the mysql database.. but when you hover over “View” in the Superuser menus for the site, it does not show the link, it shows up as https://littleshelltribalmembers.com/wp-admin.php instead of https://littleshelltribalmembers.com/rudeseal (name of the actual site)
phpmyadmin does show “/rudeseal/” as the path in the Blogs fields

hmm.. I am looking under sites in the SQL Database, and the new sites are not being added.. other settings are being set.. This is a MySQL 5.0 database..

AS and FYI, pretty permalinks work perfectly..

I just spent the past 2 weeks working with the tech crew at 1and1, I gave them super admin access to the site and they played with it. They found that all the settings for the server are correct, but there is some sort of database access error happening with WordPress and the error is not a server error but a wordpress error when you create a new site. there is also a possibility that wordpress is not writing the right codes to the .htaccess file..

If anyone (perferably wordpress developers) wants to play with my site to see what the deal is, let me know and I will send them access info. You can see the settings for the server at:

https://www.littleshelltribalmembers.com/phpinfo.php

the Quote after the MultiViews is not in the online version of .htaccess. That is my mistake when I pasted it into the forum.. and it still does not work.. So even though it may be a problem with the 1and1 servers.. it’s not helping me..

Thanks for the clarification on the virtual, I was not sure if it created the subsite folder on creation..

I do have the phpinfo.php up on the site if anyone wants to look at it.. it is at https://www.littleshelltribalmembers.com/phpinfo.php to see if there are any modules or configurations that I need to email 1and1 about..

OK, looking through the FAQ’s of my hosting, (1and1.com), they say the following:

“Whenever using mod_rewrite and/or the rewrite engine, it MAY not function properly on standard shared
hosting and/or managed servers without the following line added before it in the .htaccess file:

Options -MultiViews”

I added the “Options -MultiViews” to the .htaccess and reset the permissions to 666, but still no go: Here’s my new .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
Options -MultiViews”

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]

# END WordPress

I changed my Permalinks to the “Pretty Permalinks” and they are working fine.. So, I don’t know what’s up.. What Permissions and folders needs to be in the wp-contents\ folder that I have to put in manually and what permissions do they all need to be set to?

Yes, the control panel/super admin/sites shows the new site under so it updated in the MySql Database and the emails go out to the admin and the new user, but no sub folders showup under the blogs.dir folder (site 4 should show up at least as wp-content/blogs.dir/4/ right??).

here is my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress

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]

# END WordPress

The recommended additions to my config file is:

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

the <DIV> code is mapped for a different style in the template style sheet, so using it in this instance is not an option.. the problem is in the code for WP itself..

That does not help much, but thank you for trying!

What it shows right now is just the Child Pages on the Menu to the sidebar, it does not show the title name of the parent Page on top of the menu which is what I want done:

Currently:

No Menu Title is
Shown <—Parent Title

US State Dept <– Child Page Link
White House <– Child Page Link
ETC.. <– Child Page Link

If I click on “White House” I want the Menu to display Like the following:

US GOVERNMENT WIRES <– Parent Title
——————-
US State Dept <– Child Page Link
White House <– Child Page Link
ETC..

Ryan, I am not getting any dumps for your Dump_ENV plugin, do I have to use a tag somewhere or does it automatically dump to my footer?
