 * Hi,
 * I tried to install a multisite without luck.
 * There is no connection to the second site.
 * Weird thing is yesterday I created a sub-directory site that worked, but got 
   some woocomerce problems, so I ran a backup and started over. And today I can
   only create a sub-domain site that wont work.
 * Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
 * My .htaccess
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    # The directives (lines) between “BEGIN WordPress” and “END
   WordPress” are # dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress
   filters. # Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{
   HTTP:Authorization}] RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
 * # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,
   L]
 * RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule
   ^ – [L] RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*\.
   php)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * My wp-config.php
 * define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
 * define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
    define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false); define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’,‘
   www.a-c-d.net’); define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’); define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’,
   1); define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */`

 * Sub directory sites you can only install on fairly new sites, otherwise WordPress
   will fear that you can cause a conflict of the new subdirectory with an URL of
   an article. Not sure why they have no mechanism to resolve that.
 * Subdomain sites will be like:
    sub1.domain.com sub2.domain.com
 * You probably need to register those subdomains in your DNS in order to work. 
   If you are using SSL, you should issue a wildcard certificate.
