Title: multisite problem Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # multisite problem * [bigdread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bigdread/) * (@bigdread) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/) * First a backup 😉 For creating a multisite i was using this link: [http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-enable-multi-site-option-in-wordpress-3-0/](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-enable-multi-site-option-in-wordpress-3-0/) * First i made a subdomain with directadmin. * then i put this one in the wp-config file: define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); * I logged in again and saw the configuration start for the multisite. * So i made a blogs.dir directory in wp-content and gave it 777 permission. * Ichanged the .htacces file: * ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # uploaded files RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] ``` * and also the wp-config.php _[Code moderated]_ * I logged in again and it seemed to be working. but when i want to go to the dasboard of the fb.clouddog.eu [http://fb.clouddog.eu/wp-login.php](http://fb.clouddog.eu/wp-login.php) * I get 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@clouddog.eu 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/2 Server at fb.clouddog.eu Port 80 ``` * When i go look in the fb dir i see that it is empty except for the html file created when i created the subdomain. So no wp-admin.php or whatever. * When i go look in the blogs.dir. It’s also empty * I read somewhere that maybe the apache has to be rebuild but before i as the hoster i want some advice from this community. * Thx in advance Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/#post-2222787) * Never, **ever**, post usernames and passwords in a public forum. You have just given your database username and password to the rest of the world. Change them** now**! * Thread Starter [bigdread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bigdread/) * (@bigdread) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/#post-2222789) * yeah thx i saw but i don’t see where to edit. * but someone did already. pfew thx * here is what i add to the wp-config.php: * ``` ('WP_DEBUG', false); define( 'MULTISITE', true ); define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true ); $base = '/'; define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'clouddog.eu' ); define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' ); define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 ); define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 ); ``` * above the: That’s all, stop editing!

Google may have already cached this page. We also know that some sites scrape content from these forums. So, even though I removed the sensitive material, we have to assume that there are now copies of it elsewhere. This is why it is imperative that you change your database username and password asap. * Thread Starter [bigdread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bigdread/) * (@bigdread) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/#post-2222798) * Thank you Esmi. * Database and ftp passwords are changed. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/#post-2222802) * Excellent! I’m not the one of the Multisite gurus, unfortunately. I just happened to spot the issue with the username/password. The real Multisite gurus should be online soon. So what I suggest is that, with your agreement, I close this topic and you repost in this forum. Only include the non-sensitive part of your wp-config.php file. Pasting in your .htaccess file is fine. * By doing this, you could get an informed response pretty quickly as opposed to continuing with this topic (which now, superficially, looks as if you already getting help). * That sound reasonable to you? * Thread Starter [bigdread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bigdread/) * (@bigdread) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/#post-2222807) * Yes Esmi, * Thx again for your help. * Thread Starter [bigdread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bigdread/) * (@bigdread) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/#post-2222810) * Ok i found * [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gangleri/) * (@gangleri) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/#post-2222812) * > First i made a subdomain with directadmin. * Multisite doesn’t work in a sub, the main site should be in the root. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-problem/#post-2222819) * **[@bigdread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bigdread/)**: You can edit your own post for a short time after you have posted. * Given that you have now posted a new topic, I’ll close this one.
