Multisite Activation – Need Help Please!

Hey all,

I’m trying to activate Multisite on my WordPress site. Only managing to get passed the first part, I hit a roadblock.

So far, I entered the following code into the wp-config.php file:

define( ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true );

After, I refreshed and went to Tools -> Network Setup. I found that I’m missing pieces compared to those of the instructions. The options for choosing Sub-domains or Sub-directories isn’t there.

What is displayed instead is “Sub-directory Install – Because your install is in a directory, the sites in your WordPress network must use sub-directories”. After I press Install, a message says “ERROR: The network could not be created. The network already exists.” Unlike the next step which is to add code into the wp-config.php and htaccess files.

Please help! FYI I’m a beginner of using WP.
