I was trying to create a multisite setup (which I've done a dozen times before) for a subdirectory (i.e., mydomain.com/failedsitename) implementation. After going through the setup process, the url www.mydomain.com/failedsitename is bringing up the www.mydomain.com web page instead of the Drupal install, even though the www.mydomain.com/failedsitename url is displayed.
As background, I think this is related to the fact that when I first went to do the setup, I had forgotten to place the settings.php file in the mydomain.com.failedsitename. But after going back and deleting the mydomain.com.failedsitename directory, deleting the failedsitename symlink that I had created and then setting it up correctly, it continues to not find the mydomain.com.failedsitename site folder and install based on that.
I'm able to successful create a multisite implementation using a different subfolder name using the same process that I'm trying to use here.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or troubleshoot it so that it installs correctly? I do need to use the target subfolder name I'm trying to use.

Clear Cache?
Sometimes it is the simplest things that we forget...like clearing cache.
Unfortunately, that's not it.
When I go back and delete the symlink and sites/subfolder, the URL correctly leads to a 'page not found'. When I recreate the symlink and sites/subfolder, the behavior returns.
I take that back. Clearing the cache
for the mydomain.com implementation did the trick. I thought originally you were talking about the browser cache or the new site... so I didn't quite get your meaning. But, clearing the cache on mydomain.com was exactly what the doctor ordered! So thanks for the suggestion and my apologies for dismissing it initially.
