 * If I try to access another site without putting the “www.” in front of the main
   domain, it redirects to the root install.
 * [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com) – works
    [http://www.mysite.com/subdirectory](http://www.mysite.com/subdirectory)–
   works [http://mysite.com](http://mysite.com) – redirects to [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)
   which is fine **[http://mysite.com/subdirectory](http://mysite.com/subdirectory)–
   redirects to [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)**
 * I think the problem has something to do with this line in my wp-config file:
   
   define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.mysite.com’ );
 * Should it not include the “www.”? What should I do to fix it?
 * If I just remove it in the wp-config file, this is what I get:
 * [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com) – works
    [http://www.mysite.com/subdirectory](http://www.mysite.com/subdirectory)–
   works **[http://mysite.com](http://mysite.com) – “Error establishing database
   connection”** **[http://mysite.com/subdirectory](http://mysite.com/subdirectory)–“
   Error establishing database connection”**
