Multisite with subfolders but on a subdomain

  • I’m gonna try to not be confusing about this, but it is a little confusing. My website is example.com. My blog is example.com/blog. I also have an invision power board forum. I’m expanding my blog to include a woocommerce store, a job board, and a forum, all powered by wordpress. The forum is bbpress, and we’re converting the invision power board over to it, so that we can start with a large user base.

    We’re moving the entire wordpress setup to network.example.com. Each of the sites will be in a subfolder. When we move it over, it is still a single blog. From there, we run the invision to bbpress conversion script against a copy of the old forum database. Up to this point, everything works fine.

    From here, we turn on multisite. Everything immediately breaks. The world explodes in a fiery hell storm. Specifically, this happens: https://screencast.com/t/7XvEej5Y5qL

    The wp-config and htaccess are set up as per the setup instructions. We try mucking around in the database and switching all the domains to the new one, but no change. It’s entirely possible we missed some.

    Does anyone have some knowledge that might ease our suffering?

    Ok I left something out. Regarding the setup that wordpress gives us, it instructs us to add the following to wp-coonfig:

    define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'example.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

    Added just like this, the blog simply redirects to our main site. The database error only happens when we change example.com to network.example.com.

    Ok I think that’s everything.
