 * Hello,
 * I just installed wordpress multisite however when I try to navigate to the dashboard
   of my subdomain I receive this error:
 * Internal Server Error
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, [webmaster@blog.entertainmentscribe.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-for-wordpress-multisite-using-bluehost/webmaster@blog.entertainmentscribe.com?output_format=md)
   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.
 * Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying 
   to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
 * Apache Server at blog.entertainmentscribe.com Port 80
 * From what I have read bluehost may not support wildcard subdomains however it
   seems like this is an issue that can be worked around. Any help would be greatly
   appreciated. Thanks!

 * Did you set up wildcard subdomains on your control panel?

 * Yes I set up my wildcard subdomain as *.mydomain.com. I spoke with bluehost support
   and they said that it’s probably because I didn’t point the wildcard subdomain
   to the same folder as the wp-config.php is in. However when I head to my DNS 
   Zone Editor it sayd that there is an A Host Record set as “*” pointing to the
   correct server. Is this something wrong with my wp-config or htaccess?
 * **This is what I have for my htacess:**
    _# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L]
 * # uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.
   php?file=$2 [L]
 * # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$
   $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
 * RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule
   ^ – [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] 
   </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * **and for my wp-config (above “That’s all, stop editing”:**
 * _define(‘WP\_ALLOW\_MULTISITE’, true);_
 * define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
    define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false ); $base = ‘/’;
   define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘entertainmentscribe.com’ ); define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’,‘/’);
   define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 ); define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
 * Thanks for the help!

 * If your site is running from the public_html, then make sure that your wildcard
   subdomain is going to public_html and *not* to something like public_html/wildcard
 * If you have other content in your .htaccess besides the suggested MultiSite code,
   then rename your .htaccess, create a new blank one, and put in only the MultiSite
   code.

 * Genius! Thanks bh_WP_fan and lpstenu for all the help! Everything seems to be
   working perfectly now. Pointing the wildcard to public_html did the trick. Thanks!
