 * Hi I have just installed WordPress and configured for multisite.
 * I do not have any plugins and after adding the lines to the wp-config.php and
   log in again, I get a Database connection error.
 * I have tried repairing the database and I get the errors telling that wp_1 tables
   do not exist. System tries to recreate the tables with no success.
 * I have two questions than:
 * 1. Shouldn’t the firsts site have its table just wp_?
    2. Why can’t I create 
   the tables if I am using the database admin, and have granted the ALL permission?
 * I am using Amazon RDS as the database and RDS reports no errors on the database.
 * Best regards,
 * Igor

 * 1) Yes
    2) It’s not permissions.
 * In your wp-config, make sure you have both of these:
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
       define( 'MULTISITE', true );
       ```
