Multisite Issues. Help please!

[qubed]

Hi all,

I am having difficulty getting this to work with my multisite setup.

It appears to have broken my site and I have no clue how to resolve the issue. I have followed the instructions on the plugin page, but I simply can’t seem to remedy the issue.

I’d love to be able to get this up and working, but after trying many solutions over the last four hours I am no further along than when I started. Any help would be truly tremendous!

This is my htaccess file currently and I’m not sure what needs to be added/removed:

# Enable Keep Alive
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Connection keep-alive
</IfModule>

# directory browsing
Options All -Indexes

# Protect htaccess
<files ~ "^.*\.([Hh][Tt][Aa])">
order allow,deny
deny from all
satisfy all
</files>

<Files wp-config.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Just add multi-site configs right before following line:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

If it didn’t help just please provide WP login + FTP details (check private reply option) and I will do it for you 🙂
