I have setup Wordpress Multisite on a fresh Ubuntu LAMP droplet with a virtual host site.

I believe I have followed the tutorial exactly.

The network is setup fine, I can view the WP dashboard for all the sites but the non-primary URLs are not redirecting to the WP install whereas the primary site does, they just show an Apache page.

Here is my .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 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]

I have set up WP Multisite many times and when I follow the same instructions using my Linode server I don’t have a problem.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I’ve hit a wall.

Thank you.
