 * I’ve installed WordPress 4.8 on my hosting service and enabled Multisite at installation
   time, i.e. during the installation dialogue (using Installatron).
 * When I go to the [http://www.<my-domain>/wp-admin/network/setup.php](http://www.<my-domain>/wp-admin/network/setup.php)
   I see a configuration page which says “The original configuration steps are shown
   here for reference” and details of the wp-config.php & .htaccess files.
 * I’ve had a look at my files and the wp-config.php already has the changes, albeit
   in a different location in the file to what’s stated in this page.
 * The .htaccess file also has the changes in-place, but there’s one omission, this
   line is missing:
 * # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$
   $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
 * So, I’m a bit confused TBH, basically I don’t understand the phrase “The original
   configuration steps are shown here for reference”, i.e. what I’m meant to do.

 * That line isn’t added to your .htaccess if you have a subdomain install.
 * The section of the forum if for support questions related to the domain mapping
   plugin. For general multisite questions post in the multisite section of the 
   forum.
