WordPress MU

ver: 2.8.6

Ive created multiple blogs using the subdirectory structure (ie localhost.localdomain/blog1, localhost.localdomain/blog2 etc). These show in the admin control panel, accessible at the root blog, yet when i navigate/follow the link to the sub-blogs they show 404 errors. (ex. http://localhost.localdomain/testing1/)

( VHOST is 'no' )

Also when as a user tried to login , i get same 404 errror at : http://localhost.localdomain/testing1/wp-admin/?c=1

Admin login is fine & can create a main blog .

htaccess has Rewrite base "BASE" to "/" ,

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is present in httpd file

htaccess file :
[
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]

thanks in advance.

Its installed localy, I am using WAMP- Apache, mysql & php configuration.

Also, Allow override is set as below...

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo Options

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

Thanks.

I am having the same problem with my site. It is weird because the site was just working today. It stopped around this afternoon. I am getting 404, but I haven't changed anything.

Then ask your host if they did anything on the server. Check your error logs.

@nitb are you running it on localhost? That doesn't work. Has to be localhost.local or something else.

I have a similar problem trying to upgrade from 2.71 to anything above it. I'm seeing an inability to redirect users, even the admin on the back end, to anything but the first blog in the site. As a result, all the remaining blogs are 404 errors. Nothing I've done can remedy the situation, even a complete replacement of all files, manual upgrade, etc. As I run the server, nothing has been done to change it. Not sure if this helps but if you can't upgrade, let us know what you were upgrading from and to. I just see 2.86 and not sure if you're already there.

re lost blogs but main OK: I did my upgrade manually so I know which files were going up, I got a confusing 2.9.1 pls upgrade which I ignored knowing I'd uploaded 2.9.1.1. My main admin site still works (with 2.9.1.1 in the footer) but when I hit upgrade blogs I lost access to them, admin & front end. It looks like the subdomain blogs are not resolving/htaccess as the blogs still show in the main admin. Any ideas appreciated I'm not an expert on MU or the subdomain mapping process.

Similar issue myself, Just installed WPMU 2.9.11 on local fedora 12 machine. Have access to wpmu backend and it looks like install is good, can create posts, new blogs etc.

The issue I am having is not being able to view the blogs or posts. Seems like a mod_rewrite problem or something, perhaps a .htaccess configuration I am somehow missing.

location of phpinfo file http;//rfair.homelinux.com/test/

Thanks for help all

Same error as all above, all sub-domains now offline! I have not done the upgrades yet, 2.8.1 just stopped working. Main site at http://ipnetcast.com works, but http://ipnetcast.com/press does not. Please someone post any ideas?

have you lost your .htaccess file? or has mod_rewrite got turned off?

I got this issue resolved, it was an apache setting.

I found my /etc/apache/httpd.conf file and looked for:

<Directory "/var/www">

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo Options <strong>(Change to AllowOverride All)</strong>

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

that seemed to do the trick

Great you got it working, I'm feeling encouraged... This is my code from httpd.conf which looks fine BUT I believe all my files are at <Directory "/var"> *** no /www/html *** That is I have my wpmu in the directory httpdocs. So, should I also duplicate the below but with the <Directory "/var/www/html"> copied as <Directory "/var"> ???

existing conf...
<Directory "/var/www/html">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

"So, should I also duplicate the below but with the <Directory "/var/www/html"> copied as <Directory "/var"> ???"

No, yours is different because your files are in a different spot on your server.

Also, this section only deal with mod_rewrite. Doesn;t have any info on wildcard subdomains.
