 * I’ve installed wordpress 3.6 and created a multisite with localhost. I’ve created
   a couple subsites, and also signed up with the a DNS service to allow my sites
   to be visable for external view by my partners for approval before going live.
   However my sites cannot be viewed externally I’m assuming because of the localhost.
 * How do I setup so that it can be externally viewed?
 * I’ve already set up my router to allow HTTP access to my system, and it worked
   when it was just only one wordpress site before. Since I changed to multisite
   it stopped working.

 * I think I have to change the wp-config.php from ‘localhost’ to my new domain 
   name? Whats the correct syntax? And if I do that it doesn’t seem to be able to
   access the database anymore.
 * I now signed up on a domain name and am pointing the A-record to my IP. when 
   I type the url in a browser I can see the index page where I can see the subdirectory
   which wordpress is installed however when I click on that folder it resolves ‘
   localhost’ and obviously doesnt work.
 * my .htaccess file says this:
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /round5global/ 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]
 * and my wp-config file says this:
    /* Multisite */ define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’,
   true);
 * define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
    define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
 * define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘localhost’);
 * define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/round5global/’);
 * define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
 * define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
