Answer 2

So I struggled and struggled with this error I'd moved an existing working server to a new Ubuntu 16.xxx server and it all went t***ts up.

Wordpress - MultiSite - SubDomain install Main site working correctly like - www.domain.com

Subdomain sites like testing.domain.com OR www.anotherdomain.com

• would work correctly but only on their default home page
• would work correctly on pages and posts if using post ID rather than pretty permalinks.

.htaccess file was all according to the recommended settings wp-config.php all set up similarly

Sites vhost config files for subdomains configured correctly

<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/web04
        ServerName subsite.domain.uk
        ServerAlias www.subsite.domain.uk subsite.web04.domain.uk

  ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.uk

    <Directory "/websites/www/html/web04">
            order allow,deny
            Allow from all
            AllowOverride All
            Options -Indexes +FollowSymlinks
    </Directory>

    LogLevel debug rewrite:trace8

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/subsite-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/subsite-access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

THE ISSUE WAS

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

MAKE SURE THAT THE FOLLOWING LINES ARE CORRECT AND CHANGE THE DEFAULT OF

AllowOverride None to All

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted 
</Directory>
