 * Hi,
 * I am trying to activate multisite on my blog ([http://www.gettingcloseto.com](http://www.gettingcloseto.com)),
   but after changing the wp-config and htaccess files and logging in again nothing
   seems to change on the dashboard.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks a lot!!
 * Dalia

 * Presume
    1. wp-config to ALLOW MULTISITE etc 2. Login /Tools/network setup/Install
   3. Login /create network 4. Copy/paste wp-config and .htaccess(x 2 if WP not 
   root) Does the top left menu then mention sites anywhere? Richard

 * Dear Richard and Mika,
 * Thanks for your replies!
 * The first time I followed those steps I logged in and everything looked the same–
   no mention of sites on the top left. I have just tried again and now it will 
   not let me look in – the browser says “too many redirects occurred.”
 * I took the pasted section out of the wp-config file (leaving what was in the .
   htaccess) and now I can log in again.
 * Now when I go to the network page, the wp-config and .htaccess boxes are still
   there but it says, “Warning: An existing WordPress network was detected.”

 * You have to delete the DB calls as well.

 * Sorry for my ignorance – where could I find those?
