Did you ever have a Network set up before?
Check your database. See if you have the following tables:
wp_blogs
wp_blog_versions
wp_registration_log
wp_signups
wp_site
wp_sitemeta
Also, what’s in your multisite section for your wp-config.php?

Hi Mika,
Followed this very carefully – http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Create_A_Network#Step_2:_Allow_Multisite
Then followed the WordPress directions on my fresh install (no plugin – nothing) – edited the wp-config.php and ,htaccess exactly as directed.
No network features present – just the setting up network screen.
Did you check the database like I asked?
And what’s in your wp-config for Multisite?
Can’t help you if you don’t follow directions 🙂

As I first said – the dashboard tells me that a Network exists- no network menu available.
Added to config:
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.rnmedics.com’);
define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
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]
Database:
wp_blogs – exists
wp_blog_versions – exists
wp_registration_log – exists
wp_signups – exists
wp_site – exists
wp_sitemeta – exits
Cheers,
Mike
As I first said – the dashboard tells me that a Network exists- no network menu available.
And as I asked, twice now, did you check the DATABASE. The reason things are asked the way they’re asked is to try and break down possible reasons (infinite) into something calculable 🙂 It goes faster when you play along 😀
Database:
wp_blogs – exists
wp_blog_versions – exists
wp_registration_log – exists
wp_signups – exists
wp_site – exists
wp_sitemeta – exits
YES. This is exactly why WP thinks there’s an extant Multisite 🙂
So.
1) DELETE those tables.
2) REMOVE this from your wp-config:
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.rnmedics.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
3) THEN go back through network setup.

I did respond as requested – and I’m not playing along?
I have now done 2 clean installs on this site – so fresh database each time.
I have carefully followed WP own instructions – same result each time.
I am forced to do a new install each time because I want to use a folder structure – not sub-domains.
So I guess no Network for me.
Thanks anyway.
Mike
You’re doing something wrong, but I’m not sure what since I don’t know what you’re actually doing.
Let’s take this one step at a time.
I’ve carefully followed the guides for setting up a network – made the appropriate changes to the .htaccess and wp-config.php files, checked and checked again.
Which guide are you following?

Well, I am surprised that carefully following WordPress guides results in it not working – http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Create_A_Network – this, of course, is direct from WordPress. Not unreasonable to expect this to work.
No, it’s not unreasonable 🙂 But perhaps you’d be surprised the myriad people who find random directions on other sites and complain here that they don’t work. Again, I’m not you. I can’t see in your brain, so I have to ask these overly simple questions to figure out where you went wrong.
FWIW, I follow those directions daily to make sure they’re still good.
Reset. Get ALL the way back to Step 2, where ALL you have added in your wp-config are those two lines.
Delete the tables I mentioned in your DB.
Make sure your .htaccess is back to normal.
Get THERE and only there.

Thanks.
I’ll give it a miss – has broken my site 3-4 times now – really not worth the bother.
