I'm attempting to migrate a functioning multisite wordpress install (that uses subdomains) from a live server to my local computer to continue development.
At this point, I've been able to access the front-end of the site on my local, but when I try to visit wp-admin, I get a Server Error (500).
I had originally tried to follow the advice in http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-3-network-multisite-on-a-local-development-site but that approach didn't work for me, so I wanted to see if I could switch the subdomains to subfolders, which led me to http://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-multi-site-from-sub-directory-to-sub-domain.
I added the
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
that was recommended in that post, but that hasn't appeared to have any effect.
Does anyone have experience doing this? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
