Title: ReInstalled fresh site – Multisite DB errors Last modified: June 21, 2020 --- # ReInstalled fresh site – Multisite DB errors * Resolved [norrette](https://wordpress.org/support/users/norrette/) * (@norrette) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstalled-fresh-site-multisite-db-errors/) * Hi there, * I am fairly new to wordpress.org but a long time user of wordpress.com. * Having created a new hosted site and installed via Softalacious I am trying to create a subdomain Multi wordpress site. My hosting account has sub-domain capability. * I have copied the code issued by wordpress into my wp-config.php and into my . htaccess but when I try to access the site or the admin site I get : Error establishing a database connection. Switching on debug i see the following tables are missing * wp6g_1_posts: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_posts’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_comments: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_comments’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_links: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838. wp6g_1_links’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_options: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_options’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_postmeta: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_postmeta’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_terms: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_terms’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_term_taxonomy: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_term_taxonomy’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_term_relationships: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_term_relationships’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_termmeta: Table ‘mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_termmeta’ doesn’t exist wp6g_1_commentmeta: Table‘ mysite_a2wp838.wp6g_1_commentmeta’ doesn’t exist * Now i DO have tables with these names but WITHOUT the insert ” _1_” eg wp6g_posts wp6g_options * etc, etc * I wonder which part of wordpress is calling for these names and not the same as all the others * Any help would be much appreciated * Norrette - This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/).

Yet given I have spent 30 years in IT, and fairly experienced in various sytems, I can’t see anyone doing anything differently to what I have done. * Everywhere I look online people are using the sub directory method and not the subdomain method. Maybe it is that which is not working on the latest WordPress? * [Prashant Singh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prashantvatsh/) * (@prashantvatsh) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstalled-fresh-site-multisite-db-errors/#post-13016738) * ``` define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true ); define('MULTISITE', true); define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true); define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'Your_Data'); define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', 'Your_Data'); define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1); define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1); ``` * Please let me know if you have the above code lines in your wp-config.php file. * Note: ‘Your_Data’ is used just for an example. On place of that you will see a specific value in the file. - This reply was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by [Prashant Singh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prashantvatsh/). * Thread Starter [norrette](https://wordpress.org/support/users/norrette/) * (@norrette) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstalled-fresh-site-multisite-db-errors/#post-13016849) * Just a quick update for anyone who has the same issue. The Hosting company recommends we install an “A2 optimised” version of wordpress. (which turns out to be 5 years old) * This time I uninstalled and reinstalled with vanilla WordPress version 5.4. * So far so good * [Prashant Singh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prashantvatsh/) * (@prashantvatsh) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstalled-fresh-site-multisite-db-errors/#post-13017608) * Glad to know that 🙂 * Thread Starter [norrette](https://wordpress.org/support/users/norrette/) * (@norrette) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reinstalled-fresh-site-multisite-db-errors/#post-13017645) * Yes, I now have a clean perfect install of WP 5.4.2. * This version of WP installation has a check box for MultiSites and when selected already installs the populated wp-conf and .htaccess files. The only change I needed was to change “define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’…)” from False to true. * Hosting company error.
