I am stuck in .htaccess file creation for multisite. I am getting an error in page now internal error 500 and when i checked my log in apache it says C:/www/vhosts/localhost/wordpress3/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here. I allowed it in httpd.conf by removing the hash from LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so, still getting an error and it says page cannot be found. Can you please help me in this.

You may need to set "AllowOverride All" in your apache config, for the Directory block for the server root, or root of your Wordpress install.

Here's what the relevant block looks like on a *nix system; things will probably look a little different on Windows:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

The AllowOverride tells Apache that .htaccess files are okay; without it, it will ignore the contents of any .htaccess files it finds.

hth,

My super admin is created and i can make sites, but the root path is not showing any site now and is showing 404 forbidden error – MsManiya Sep 20 '10 at 12:23
You need to setup a different .htaccess file for a multi-site install than for a single site install. Try backing up the contents of you .htaccess file, removing the file, and then logging into the admin. There is a part of the config that gives you the .htaccess file to use; don't have it handy right at the moment. – Patch Sep 25 '10 at 16:35
