Multisite subdirectory getting 404

[beccawitz]

The site is using Multisite with subdirectories and lowercase path /he as the directory.
The main site is working fine, but when I go to the subdirectory's homepage, I get a 404 error.
The Dashboard url www.site.com/he/wp-admin works but I can't see the correct Dashboard - it shows me the main site's Dashboard instead.

I tried re-saving the permalinks but it didn't help.
The domain is with www
Using WordPress version 3.9

Thank you!

Sounds like the exact duplicate of #27866, except with lowercase rather than my mixed case directory pathnames.

Hi @beccawitz, thanks for the report.

A couple things that may help distinguish this from #27866 or #27927:

• Is DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE configured as site.com or www.site.com?
• IS PATH_CURRENT_SITE configured as /?

Is this a fresh installation of WordPress 3.9 or an upgrade?

[beccawitz]

define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.site.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
It was an upgrade.
Thank you.

Not sure if this helps or just makes things more confusing, but I am having (what looks like) the same problem. www.mysite.com/he redirects to main site, but mysite.com/he works fine (as it always has).

Mine is an upgrade, too, but this was originally (way back when) a multiuser install, upgraded consistently over time, so my wp-config does not even have DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE or PATH_CURRENT_SITE

jugoretz, see #27927 - I think the force non-www htaccess rule might help.

beccawitz - Can you look in your database under wp_site and wp_blogs. Does your domain have the www in there?

[jugoretz]

Thanks very much, Ipstenu. That seems to have done the trick for my problem.

[beccawitz]

@Ipstenu, in wp_blogs, the main domain has www but I see the subsite does not have www.
In wp_site, there is no www.

[Ipstenu]

@beccawitz - the www usage should be consistent. I would make them all use www in your case since the wp-config has www.

[beccawitz]

@Ipstenu, yes it should - thank you for your help!

Replying to Ipstenu:

@beccawitz - the www usage should be consistent. I would make them all use www in your case since the wp-config has www.

Hello, @beccawitz.

I had the same problem installing with Nginx. With a basic Apache configuration it's working without a problem in a subdirectory.

I'm tempted to close this out as a misconfiguration issue. Can this be reproduced?

[jeremyfelt]

I'm going to close this out as a misconfiguration rather than an issue. Please reopen with steps to reproduce if it does seem like a core bug.
