I can get to the site page from my list of site, but there is no formatting on the site.
Is your .htaccess correct?
I cannot find the .htaccess file anywhere.
When I did the network setup it never prompted me to edit the .htacess file. It instead had me place/replace code in my web.config and wp-config files.
Ahh, you’re on IIS 🙂 That’s different.
Did you replace the old WP calls in web.config? Sometimes people accidentally append.
IIS is Windows Servers. http://www.iis.net/
90% of WP users have Linux/Unix servers.
Is mod_rewrite enabled on your server?
I am not sure. I just read something about that and was going to check. I am guessing I check that on my godaddy account somewhere?
Should I have a .htaccess file instead of a web.config?
Also, apparently godaddy already has the mod_rewrite enabled. They say you don’t have to go on and do anything, but I am questioning that.
So I figured this out for the most part.
I switched to a Linux hosted site on my godaddy account. I could not find any fix for multisite subdirecory hosting on windows server.
Once I switched and went through the motions it all worked fine!
Thank You for your help:)
I switched to a Linux with godaddy. It solved my problem a lot. Thanks a lot. I spent a few days with this issue on a Windows box.
For IIS ..replace below with web.config file
