 * I folloowed all the steps in the codex on creating a network till I had to log
   in again after modifying the .htaccess
    Then along came a database connactivity
   error and I tried to reapit it and the WP repain utility asked me to post this
   on the WP forum for help
 *     ```
       wp_1_posts: Table 'wp_t2.wp_1_posts' doesn't exist
       wp_1_comments: Table 'wp_t2.wp_1_comments' doesn't exist
       wp_1_links: Table 'wp_t2.wp_1_links' doesn't exist
       wp_1_options: Table 'wp_t2.wp_1_options' doesn't exist
       wp_1_postmeta: Table 'wp_t2.wp_1_postmeta' doesn't exist
       wp_1_terms: Table 'wp_t2.wp_1_terms' doesn't exist
       wp_1_term_taxonomy: Table 'wp_t2.wp_1_term_taxonomy' doesn't exist

 * In your wp-config.php do you have both `define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);` 
   AND `define( 'MULTISITE', true );` ?

 * [@ipstenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/):
    I have `define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE',
   true);` but not `define( 'MULTISITE', true );` I nid not see any mention of it.
 * [@andrea_r](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/): I think yes. I just
   accessed the WP folder after extracting the downloading latest.tar.gz and following
   the steps. That was pretty simple.

 * They are both mentioned in the instructions and in the codee the network setup
   screen gives you to copy/paste.
 * `define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);`is the first line you put in to get the 
   menu item to show.** Do not remove it** when pasting in the rest.

 * I was following [http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network),
   and it mentions the ‘define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);’ in step 3 but there
   is no mention of ‘define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );’ maybe I was referring to the 
   the wrong documentation?
 * Anyway, it worked! Adding ‘define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );’ fixed things. I have
   been able to use both subdomains as well as subdirectories to access WP.
 * Thank you 🙂

 * There’s no need to mention it because it’s in the block of text you get in Step5,
   part 2.

 * ? You should only have one or the other.

 * I might have missed that line :-O from Step5 part2 🙁
 * Yes. It is one at a time. I tried both of them. And they work fine.
 * Thank you 🙂
