 * Hey guys,
 * I have been trying, for days now, to get multisite working. I have followed the
   instructions to the letter with no luck.
 * Here is what I need to update my wp-config file with:
    define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
   define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false); define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘localhost’);
   define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/WordPress/’); define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
   define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
 * I do that and WordPress is still fine.
 * When I update the .htaccess file with this:
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /WordPress/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
 * # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$
   $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
 * RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule
   ^ – [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L]
 * As soon as I go to log in again I get this lovely little message:
    Internal Server
   Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
   to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at [admin@example.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-500-internal-network-error/admin@example.com?output_format=md)
   to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed
   just before this error. More information about this error may be available in
   the server error log.
 * I am using WAMP and have the WordPress folder in the ‘www’ folder under ‘WordPress’.
 * Any help on resolving this would be spectacular.
 * Cheers

 * i guess you are trying to enable sub-domain rather than sub-directory. If that’s
   the case you need to change server setting with virtual host as well as create
   a wild card on DNS. check this URL
