On a new installation I am not able to add the line define( ‘MULTISITE’, true ); to wp-config file else I get this error

No site defined on this host. If you are the owner of this site, please check Debugging WPMU for help.

My site was working before but I needed to clean up some things and start over.

The wp_site table was not created when I checked the database.

This installation went exactly the same way as the last installation that worked perfectly.

Here is the line I added to wp-config

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true ); <—– This one and when I got the error

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Any help appreciated.

Please see the instructions provided here for details on how to setup a network (enabling multisite).

Those are the directions I followed to successfuly install the network previously and with this new installation as well. Same problem.

I don’t know the multisite features very well (only used it once briefly), but the users frequenting the multisite forum might have a better idea so i’m moving the thread for you.

“No site defined on this host. If you are the owner of this site, please check Debugging WPMU for help.“

Did you get that after a normal single-site install when trying to change it to multisite, or was it a rebuild over an existing site, or an upgrade of an existing site (either WP standalone or WPMU)?

The exact situation for enabling multisite affects several of the possible answers for what you’re seeing.

You didn’t follow the directions correctly.

You said you put in this:
define( 'MULTISITE', true );

The correct line is this:
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

I got this error copying code from a config file that already had the network installed. That fixed it, though. Reading is hard.
