 * Hello I have an install of WP 4.9 that I am trying to set up, then network.
 * SO FAR:
    Wordpress has been installed freshly. DB correct, permissions I think
   correct. The page loads with the option to create a multisite ready to enable.
   The site is accessible from local ip, admin, everything available. The site name
   is a 192.168… address and if it gets changed to the domain the site crashes. 
   Redirect errors, 500 errors, timeout errors, etc. Right now, when I try to access
   from the external IP and port, I am redirected to my router’s connections page
   saying that the connection is OK.
 * What seems to happen when I enable the domain change, is the domain www.*.com
   forwards to the static ip and open port, which redirects back to the domain, 
   which redirects back to the ip and a loop is created which causes the redirection
   error. I don’t know how to fix that.
 * The site is inaccessible externally.
    I have a domain, with static ip, mapped
   to a proper port. There is no issues with apache hosting the files, files are
   hosted and have been run. A sample index.html not associated with WP loads fine
   from internal and external.
 * I am stuck.
 * wp-config.php is default with added security keys, WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE set to 
   true, and the site names defined as 192.168.1.33, remember if I change these 
   names the site crashes.
 * WHAT DO I DO.
 * This is for a business and not my personal info from my profile page, any and
   all help would be appreciated. THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS. I am familiar with the
   apache config files, mod files, sites enabled files, ports.conf files, etc.
 * Please help, thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flocal-multisite-install-help%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi, that sounds frustrating! Did you get it sorted already?
 * How is your local environment set up?

 * I have not gotten it sorted yet…
 * WP is running on a linux server in a Cisco UCS environment. This blade will solely
   be used for web serving.
