Can not install WP Multisite

I found that I have to comment two lines (I guess they have somehow conflict):
/*define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );*/

That disables the network. No those two lines don’t conflict.

Also, you’re installing in a subfolder. the foldername will be part of the blog addresses. Sometimes there’s issues with windows servers and sometime there’s issues with godaddy hosting. they require you to upgrade.

Thanks for your answer, Andrea.

Yes, I know that if I comment those lines it will disable the network. What I meaned is that after inserting the seven required lines, I could not login, because a problem of redirection (I think). The only way to be able to enter the admin was commenting out those lines.

The site is for a Cultural Association. I installed the WP in a folder because the idea is to have the root directory for generic info of the Association, and put the WP in directory /branch/ to create a WP for each city branch where the Association is located.

What do you mean by “they require to upgrade”? To move to Linux? I guess it is not possible, since the root part of the web is written with ASP.

Did you insert FIRST the one line, then let it load and THEN the other lines, or did you insert all seven at once?

No, Godaddy has certain requirements if you wish to use multisite.

I called Godaddy support and they did not mention anything about it. They said that they give support of WP installation through their site, but they do not help with any other WP issue. BTW, the technical support guy told me to write to www.remarpro.com regarding my problem while installing WP multisite.

I think that I did all combinations, to identify that those two lines were the ones with problems. I’ll try again later this afternoon, because I remmbered that there were two different problems.

And if you told him you wanted to use wildcard subdomains, he would have changed his tune. I mean, you don’t in this case, but there’s hundreds of threads here where people have issues.

You’re also on a Windows server. It’s just harder getting the rewrite rules to work on it.

My Godaddy server is running Windows, so there was a WP message asking me to change file web.config in my subdirectory (?). I did it, but nothing changed.

Oh lord, I missed that.

What Andrea said times 100. Windows and Multisite are difficult at best. Add in GoDaddy and I’d rather shoot my site.

Here’s a tip: if the main site really HAS to be in ASP, and oyu really NEED to use multisite for extra stuff, hee’s what I think you shoudl do.

Get another domain. like, mydomaincomunity.com
Get a linux hosting package.
install it and keep your hair.

I see, I see. BTW, I already lost my hair, years ago ??

My problem is that I am already using my main domain with subdomains with each branch content. Everything is done with my own ASP code I wrote many many years ago, before knowing there was something called CMS (like WordPress or Joomla).

So, I have to keep the subdomains. But following your advise, is it possible to have one host with https://www.mydomain.com and the rest of the subdomains (sub1.mydomain.com, sub2.mydomain.com, etc.) in other host?

Thanks for are your contribution: I am really learning.

@jcarlosd,

Saw your post. Glad you were able to get some help with this. I am including a link to our help article for WordPress Multisite. As you can see, we do not provide Multisite for subdomains. Here is the link: https://x.co/Y0Ar. Thank you for your understanding.

If people get a dedicated IP on GoDaddy, then yes, you do.

Actually, you would be more correct if you said you don’t support WILDCARD subdomains on GoDaddy, @godaddy, which actually is also incorrect.

1) You CAN manually force subdomains to point to public_html, even on shared GoDaddy accounts.
