I've installed wordpress in multisite mode on my localhost. I am using WAMP server on windows 10.
The parent site works well and can be accessed. However when I try to go to the sub sites It says the URL was not found on the server. Both for the sites as well as their backends.
I have followed the network setup instructions as specified by wordpress.
I think it's an issue with mod_rewrite, how ever in my httpd.conf when I uncomment
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
I get an internal server error
My htaccess file is
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase sandbox/mainsite/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [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
Another curious thing is that when I change the permalinks in wordpress to custom structure and hit save, it does not get saved and reverts to the previous setting.
Any Ideas?
mod_rewrite, the contents of your.htaccessfile area being ignored because of the<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>check. - doublesharp<IfModule>since it just checks if the extension is loaded before processing the rules inside it, so you just need to enablemod_rewrite. Check your error log to get the specifics, but perhaps you don't havemod_write? - doublesharp
