Yeah. The wiki for the plugin seems to be down too. The plugin had worked well for me. I’m looking for something else now that will rotate ads.

I had the same problem setting up wordpress multisite locally on XAMPP (using subfolder style). I checked the database with phpmyadmin to see if the new entries had been made, and guessed it was a mod_rewrite problem. I reinstalled wordpress on XAMPP and made sure mod_rewrite was enabled in httpd.conf, and that I had made changes to the correct .htaccess file. After that it worked.

Thanks! I ran into a snag experimenting with the subdirectory setup, but I upgraded a test site to dedicated IP on Godaddy, so I figure I’ll scrap it and start over with subdomains.
There were a couple of things I was wondering:
We’re considering shifting hosting services. Are there any that work better with multisites? I’ve looking at Blue Host and Mediatemple but there seem to be oddities with each mentioned in the forums.
Also, once we have this set up on our main site (knock wood), we’re hoping to be able to syndicate posts to some or all member sites. Is there an easy way to do that? I saw some plugins that would do that through an indirect process.

Our hosting is Linux deluxe level.

Wow, that was fast. I’m digesting the advice. Thank you very much!
