You need .htaccess or some equivalent in order to use Multisite. It requires it. Unlike single site, you HAVE to be able to apply some redirect rules.
Okay, so assume that i didn’t, because i was able to get it working without .htaccess, but certain small functions are not working correctly. An example of this being uploads of images in posts are uploaded fine, but are not viewable once they are uploaded unless one manually fixes the link in the Advanced mode settings for that file.
anyway, it installed and for the most part works fine, without .htaccess.
I’m looking for a means of either hard-coding the proper file locations or, failing that, getting the .htaccess configuration again so i can see if i can get it pushed through.
thanks for the help!
Yes, it installs and, for the most part, works fine.
The rest, the stuff like images not linking right etc, are because … well, you don’t have any way to redirect. The SubFolder install (i.e. http://domain.com/sitename ) shouldn’t work at all, though SubDomain’s MIGHT because of the DNS wildcard. I don’t know of a way around it without you finding a way to hardcode into WordPress a different way to handle variables like site-id.

The .htaccess stuff is there.
