Did you update your htaccess for MultiSite?

I did. My .htaccess looks like this:
# 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
Turn off ALL your plugins. Then turn them back on one at a time.
Also remember to go in and re-save your permalinks 🙂
“no input file specified” is an NginX specific error. You need to fix your nginx rewrite rules. There’s here in the forums.

@ipstenu: Still happening, even with all plugins disabled. :/
@andrea_r: I have no idea what any of the words you said mean, lol. I searched the forums for “nginx rewrite”, but couldn’t find anything that was pertinent to my issue. There were a lot of posts which mentioned it, but it kind of just seemed to be a whole lot of people who aren’t real sure 😛 It’s possible I just didn’t dig deep enough though.

Ack. I’m not accustomed to feeling stupid, but wow. This is Greek to me. My question is, if it were an issue with NginX, wouldn’t it have been happening before the Multisite was installed? Permalinks were working perfectly before the Multisite installation. Or am I just completely out in left field? Forgive me. I swear, I am not a blithering idiot. Usually.
Not necessarily, as multisite has different rewrite rules.
and this is hardcore stuff. 😉 Usually I go looking for help here too. 😀

Also, I get the impression from reading all this stuff that nginx is something that I would have had to consciously install? Maybe? I’ve never even heard that term before this post …
I’m now having an ongoing argument with myself that goes something like this:
Voice 1: Just let it go. Who cares. So you have to use the default permalinks. Big whoop.
Voice 2: No! This will not defeat you!! Is it so much to ask to have friggin custom permalinks?!?!
Gooood grief haha
yeah nginx is the server OS – like Apache but different.
