 * I have a multisite installation in a cloud hosted environment (WPEngine). I’d
   like to port it locally for development purposes but am having trouble activating
   the multisite feature. I verified the .htaccess file and wp-config are the same,
   and have the file system version controlled and it matches as well. Additionally
   the database is pulled down via a script and a search and replace is done with
   the urls.
 * Has anyone had success getting a docker container running a wordpress multisite?

 * Hi,
 * First, did you follow a guide when attempting to migrate your multisite installation?
   Are you attempting to clone your live installation to your local?
    When you say“
   I verified the .htaccess file and wp-config are the same, and have the file system
   version controlled and it matches as well” did you copy your .htaccess and wp-
   config exactly as they are on your live install?
 * What errors are you receiving? You may check your php error logs for any errors
   you might be running into. Because your site is local and not in your live environment
   the values for your .htaccess and wp-config files will be different than those
   on your live installation.
 * Thanks!
 * Josh
