 * I enabled Multi site and my main site seemed to be working ok – however, after
   making changes to the wp-config.php file, upon loading my site it said ‘Error
   establishing Database connection’
 * I then enabled Repair mode in the my wp-config.php files and ran the repair using‘
   Repair Database.’ After checking, it said that these were the errors:
 * wp_1_posts: Table ‘dkmmaindb.wp_1_posts’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_comments: Table ‘
   dkmmaindb.wp_1_comments’ doesn’t exist wp_1_links: Table ‘dkmmaindb.wp_1_links’
   doesn’t exist wp_1_options: Table ‘dkmmaindb.wp_1_options’ doesn’t exist wp_1_postmeta:
   Table ‘dkmmaindb.wp_1_postmeta’ doesn’t exist wp_1_terms: Table ‘dkmmaindb.wp_1_terms’
   doesn’t exist wp_1_term_taxonomy: Table ‘dkmmaindb.wp_1_term_taxonomy’ doesn’t
   exist wp_1_term_relationships: Table ‘dkmmaindb.wp_1_term_relationships’ doesn’t
   exist wp_1_commentmeta: Table ‘dkmmaindb.wp_1_commentmeta’ doesn’t exist
 * Hope I can edit my wp-config.php file to get back to a working mode.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Dan

 * In your wp-config.php, what’s the multisite section look like?
 * Normally this means you’re missing ONE of the defines for Multisite.

 * I have resolved the issue – seems that I had an extra space in the first line(
   see below). After removing the space before ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, the database
   was able to connect. Still having trouble getting my Multi Site to work properly,
   but at least the main site is working ok. Thanks for your help.
 * /* Multisite */
    define( ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true ); define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’,
   true); define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘darrenkmoore.com’); define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’,‘/’);
   define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1); define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * define( ‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true );

 * Actually… You’re missing a line.
 * `define( 'MULTISITE', true );`
 * The space shouldn’t matter in the least.
