But whebn I try to switch themes on one of the sub sites I get this error ————————————– OK * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. * Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

(just double checking) * Thread Starter [yardena613](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yardena613/) * (@yardena613) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-multisite/#post-2104388) * I spoke to my host, they said its a wordpress issue. Do you have any ideas what this could be so I can lead them in some direction? * Yes I am in the admin area of a sub site when I am activating a theme. * Thread Starter [yardena613](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yardena613/) * (@yardena613) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-multisite/#post-2104389) * Also, it gives the error but the theme does successfully switch – so should I just ignore the error? * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-multisite/#post-2104393) * For now, yes. But the error is clearly stating it’s an issue with the server itself. If you’re on a bottom-line hosting account that could be why. * Thread Starter [yardena613](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yardena613/) * (@yardena613) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-multisite/#post-2104394) * what does that mean bottom-line hosting? I am using Network Solutions. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-multisite/#post-2104414) * A cheap host that over sells their space. * Thread Starter [yardena613](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yardena613/) * (@yardena613) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-multisite/#post-2104415) * Isnt Network Solutions considered one of the “serious hosts”? * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-multisite/#post-2104418) * Eeeh. * I have a single site on them and no problems. MultiSite generally needs a bit more oomph in a server, and I don’t know offhand how good they are for that. * The error you’re getting is one that says ‘Hi, this server isn’t capable of running MultiSite.’ which is pretty dumb of them to say it’s WordPress. I mean, it’s not even WP error. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-multisite/#post-2104479) * By bottom line I mean a general shared host where you got the lowest price package. Basically anything under $10/ month.
