What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.create a new child
2.navigate to the new child frontend
3.navigate to the new child backend

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
*when navigating to the front end, expected to see the child site, but 
instead, a 404 error was encountered.
*navigating to the backend shows the child site, but all links heads back 
to the master site.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

table prefix

Is your master configuration.php file differs from child config file?

There must certainly be a few difference btw both of them, eg database 
prefixes...

The issue apparently is that the variable:- "var $live_site = '';" if set, is 
not
updated in the child's configuration.php while creating the child site, hence 
any
link on the child site will lead back to the set value of "live_site" viz: the 
master
site.

I have noticed that some configuration.php files have the variable:- " var 
$live_site
= ''; " left empty, in this case, the site will work properly. since there is 
no hard
coded link to be used.

work around:
set :- "var $live_site = '';" empty (if it doesnt break anything in the site)
or
manualy imput the correct value after creating the child site.

{unless this of course is an "undocumented feature" ;-)}

@edo888
thanks for great work on the component,its something i've been looking for for 
a long
time.
My suggestions is that you could allow more of the variables (log_path, 
tmp_path,
live_site, etc) in the configuration.php file to be filled/changed during the 
child
creation process, similar to the database settings already implemented....
