    Hi all, I am trying to set up a network for my wordpress but it seems like I am doing something wrong.

    Here are the steps I have made:

    1. I got rid of www. so my domain is domainname.com
    2. I turned off all plugins
    3. Using FTP I have added define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); to the wp-config.php
    4. I have installed networks (using sub-domains but tried also sub-directories)
    5. I have followed all instruction regarding to modification of .htaccess and wp-config.php (from .htaccess I have removed old content and replaced it with the one which I received during the network installation. Regarding to wp-config.php I have removed define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); and replaced it with the lines I have received during the network installation).
    6. I have created blogs.dir and made it rewritable (755) I have made rewritable also .htaccess
    7. I have checked my DNS and found out there is a sub-domain wild card established already with the same IP as the main url.

    After all this effort I was able to add new sites to my network however when I try to get to the dashboard of this new website I receive Not Found The requested URL /wp-admin/ was not found on this server message.

    I am quite desperate already as I am trying to set up this for a few days with no luck. If there would be anyone willing to help I would really appreciate it.

    Alternatively if there would be anyone able to advise any other techniques how to set up a live demo section through which visitors could see different templates I would appreciate this as well.

    Thanks and kind regards

    I have solved this after 5 days suddenly.

    There is no need for further assistance.

    The issue was with the sub-domain redirection. I had to turn it off in the cpanel.

    Congrats! You solved the problem, recently I also installed on my localhost and work perfectly with directory based, as I am the php/msyql web applications developer and I need to use multiple wordpress sites for different plugins and themes problems to be fixed.

    This is really a great thing from wordpress.
