New installation with subdomains on Mac OS X server (7 posts)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install wpmu on a Mac OS X server with support for subdomains. I've installed it, but now, for example, links such as http://<domain>/blog/2007/08/22/hello-world/ give a 404. Wp-admin, and wp-login files work fine, I can access the control panel and have pretty much full functionality. I searched and found that another person using OS X server was having the same problem just about, but was not using subdomains. Mod_rewrite is active. Is there anything I need to change in the .htaccess or anywhere else? In addition, subdomains don't work, but I'm not sure if that's wpmu's problem or mine. Thanks for your help!

    Did you make the right edits to apache's config file, as well as make sure that htaccess files are allowed?

    I didn't have a lick of trouble on OS X, or OS X Server.

    Server Admin made all the changes to the config file, I didn't touch it manually, so I assume there's no errors there. Not sure how to make sure that .htaccess files are allowed in apache, though. There is an .htaccess file in the web directory though.

    I'd first look to the configuration file for apache, and make sure htaccess files are allowed to be read, and that the edits to the virtual host were made correctly. Just because the htaccess file exists, doesn't mean apache is allowing it.

    I had the same trouble when I installed it on an OS X server. Here is the thread where I had the issue, and what I did to resolve the problem. I hope that it helps.

    I am running my WPMU on Leopard Server and had a similar error with URI's like you mentioned above and wp-admin was working. This was because wp-admin, wp-login.php etc are real files. The URI's you mentioned are permalinks. I simply was able to fix it by going into wp-settings and switching permalinks to the basic structure and then switching it back

    Just so you know, double posting is really bad form, and quite frowned upon over here.
