[resolved] Network menuitem not showing up in Tools menu (7 posts)

    hi,

    I've tried adding any of these three to wp-config.php:
    define('MULTISITE', true);

    define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

    define('WP_ENABLE_MULTISITE', true);

    Network does not show up. On ubuntu with apache2.

    I don't know that I completely understand the statement:

    You cannot create a network in the following cases:

    * “WordPress address (URL)” is different from “Site address (URL)”.
    * “WordPress address (URL)” uses a port number other than ‘:80′, ‘:443′.

    But I do know that my site resolves to:
    http://www.mydomain.org/wordpress

    and under settings it has:

    WordPress address URL : http://www.mydomain.org/wordpress
    Blog address (URL) : http://www.mydomain.org/wordpress

    now do I need http://www.mydomain.org/ to be the wordpress location, or is it fine to have it http://www.mydomain.org/wordpress?

    I can't find any other instructions. I have typed the single quote characters in manually.

    Any ideas?

    I have a site running on a multisite server (virtual host) and have setup wordpress at the document root level of this virtual host and followed all the codex instructions, but still dont have a network menu item in the tools menu. Surely I dont need to have wordpress at the root of the default host for the server do i?

    No.

    the network menu item shows up with the presence of the first line you paste in. that is all that line does.

    if you put it at the bottom of the config file, it will not work.

    I just tried this on a fresh local install. It worked for me.

    Put

    define ('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true ) ;

    right after

    /**#@-*/

    where the salts & keys are.

    I have it running on my server now, but had to run it at the default of the apache main site not on a virtual host.

    really? I did mine at var/www/html/wordpress/, with a host name of amd64.loc. Worked for me.
