# Multisite support not enabled

 * I’m copying a production site that IS working to a staging site that’s working
   but isn’t showing some graphical elements that ought to have come over in the
   WordPress importer process.
 * For the graphics that don’t appear on the staging site, when I try to open the
   graphic at its own URL, I get the message “Multisite support not enabled”. That’s
   it.
 * The wp-config.php files on Production and Staging both have the following set
   of lines to define multisite:
 * **Production**
 *     ```
       $base = '/';
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.example.com' );
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
       define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1' );
       define( "WP_USE_MULTIPLE_DB", false );
       ```
   
 * **Staging**
 *     ```
       $base = '/';
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'stage.example.com' );
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
       define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1' );
       define( "WP_USE_MULTIPLE_DB", false );
       ```
   
 * The one line that Production has, but that when put on Staging causes the “Error
   establishing database connection” message to appear, is this one:
 * `define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false ); /** THIS WAS ADDED SO THAT EXAMPLE.COM
   WOULD REDIRECT TO WWW.EXAMPLE.COM INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE SIGNUP PAGE FOR A NEW
   SUBDOMAIN BLOG **/`
 * .htaccess files on Production and Staging are identical.
 * On Staging there isn’t a Network Admin link in the dashboard for me to fiddle
   with its settings. That link does exist on Production.
 * I’m stuck. I don’t know how to a) enable Multisite on the Staging site and b)
   make the imported image appear and get rid of the Multisite error message.
