 * Hi there,
 * I installed multisite automatically using the service available in my c-panel.
   However it set the network type to sub-directory which I would like to change.
 * According to the following link all I have to do is change a line in wp-config:
   
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration](http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration)
 * However at the last paragraph of the section says:
    “Note that per the Settings
   Requirements you cannot switch from Sub-directory to Sub-domain when running 
   on 127.0.0.1 or localhost. This can potentially cause an endless loop of reauth
   =1 on your root site due to cookie handling. “
 * What exactly does this mean? Is it referring to when I run an installation only
   on my computer using wamp?
