    Hi

    Just installed MSM. Created a new site. All seems to be OK with the configuration, the home page works (its on a sub-domain which is pointing to a sub-directory under the main EE install folder). But when I go to any other page I get an Internal Server Error 500.

    If I add /index.php/ in the URL, it works OK. So it seems without index.php I get this error.

    I get this error with the same .htaccess as the main site in the sub-folder for the subdomain, or even if I make the .htaccess file blank, so I dont think its an error in the .htaccess. This is what it is:

    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

    Is there something different I need to do to remove index.php from the additional sites with MSM?

    Thanks

    You can forget about this, I fixed it…. seems to be an issue with Panic’s Coda (the coding software I use).

    I was editing .htaccess loads and nothing seemed to have an effect. In fact, it seemed .htaccess was being ignored. When I go to open the main site .htaccess it would not open in Coda. I have seen this quite a few times on other machines I have with Coda too (this one is a new Macbook Pro even). When this happens I restart Coda and re-open .htaccess and it opens OK.

    When I re-opened the subdomain .htaccess after the restart none of my changes were saved from when I made the copy of the main site! So because it had the main site settings (which is in another subfolder) it was throwing an error.

    So it seems a Coda issue in that the files were not saving!

    Just wanted to explain in case anyone else has the issue.
