    You don't have mod_rewrite enabled.

    Or if it is, you need to tell Apache to read the htaccess file.

    Had similar problems, in my case (Apache) I needed to enable wildcard ServerAlias'es for the site in order to make subdomains work, as described here : http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU#

    HTTP Server : Apache

    Apache must be configured so that mod_rewrite works. Here are instructions for Apache 2. Apache 1.3 is very similar.

    1. Make sure a line like the following appears in your httpd.conf LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
    2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this line "AllowOverride None" and change it to "AllowOverride FileInfo Options"
    3. In the <VirtualHost?> section of the config file for your host there will be a line defining the hostname. You need to add the following if you want virtual hosts to work properly: "ServerAlias *.domain.tld". Replace domain.tld with whatever your one is, and remove the quotes.
