    Hi All! I'm on wpmu 2.6 I have problem with the wp-activate.php. After that user registering a new blog and getting the activation email , the activation dose not works. The wp-activate.php is in my folder and I have tested CHMD 775, 777 , 700 ect to be sure that is not a permission problem.
    I'm running wpmu in my root folder :

    http://www.my-domain.com

    I have checked the .htaccess and looks okay :

    Any idea !

    Url no 1 without the activation key:
    http://victroquest.tradebloggers.com/wp-activate.php

    Url 2. With activation key:
    http://victroquest.tradebloggers.com/wp-activate.php?key=00ff79d39040129b

    Url no 3.

    Direct request from the main blog :
    http://tradebloggers.com/wp-activate.php

    Does http://victroquest.tradebloggers.com even exist? It redirects to the main site. I can't even find any subdomain blogs.

    Brian ! I have checked all files again and to be honest did not find where the problem is coming from.
    I have even checked the .htaccess

    Any idea!

    Hi, it seems that all of your subdomains redirect back to the main blog. Have you got any sort of redirect setup in the htaccess file?

    No ! I have installed a fresh wpmu in a different server just to be sure . I'm getting the same problem. here is the .htaccess

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule . - [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    Your htaccess is fine.

    In the new code base, if a blog does not exist, it redirects back to the main blog, unless you comment a lien out somewhere. I just can't remember where yet, and no this is not part of the issue. Right now AFAIC this is expected behavior.

    Quick test: go in the backend and manually create a new blog. Site Admin -> Blogs, scroll to the bottom.

    Then check and see if you can access that new blog. If yes, plunk the address here so we can all double-check and then we'll work on the activation issue.

    Is there a fix to this on Godaddy?

    I ran through This Article which is supposed to supplement the Apache changes. This is done because they do not offer Apache server access.

    maxwell67, what was the wildcards in Apache you tried to make it work?

    The Apache wildcards are detailed in the readme file.

    Just to note, I scrubbed the site and made a new install, everything went fine. Didn't have time to mess with it - srry.

    Besides I'm on Godaddy, so its all messed up anyway. I am moving into my new site, it'l soon have the GD install guide with some notes that help ensure a clean install every time.
