Hi @danielbachhuber,

I tried and this is what happens…

The current “core” wp-config.php (WITHOUT code block):

<?php
  /* this WordPress install is configured for multitenancy */
  include_once( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-config.php' );
?>

THEN is the same error message:
Error: Strange wp-config.php file: wp-settings.php is not loaded directly

IF I ADD what you suggest to the “core” wp-config.php like this:

<?php
  /* this WordPress install is configured for multitenancy */
  include_once( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-config.php' );

  /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
  require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
?>

Then I get this new error message:

PHP Warning:  include_once(/opt/wordpress/4.7.3/wp-config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/php/WP_CLI/Runner.php(982) : eval()'d code on line 2

Error: Error establishing a database connection. This either means that the username and password information in your 'wp-config.php' file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at 'DB_HOST'. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

On each “tenant” install, I already have that code block. wp-config.php is:

<?php

...

/** WP multi-tenant */
define('WP_HOME', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define('WP_SITEURL', WP_HOME . '/wp');
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/content' );
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/content' );

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
        define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

Yes. Same error.

Gotcha, thanks! I have version 1.1.0. Tried what you suggested and no go.

To confirm WP-CLI works (it is a new installation), I did another test on a clean WP test site and is fine. This is a standard WP installation with core files, wp-contents, etc. in the usual places. I can do “wp plugin list” or “wp user list”.

Staring at the error message, it’s specifically saying “wp-config.php” file. On a multi-tenant setup:

WP “core” wp-config.php is:

<?php
  /* this WordPress install is configured for multitenancy */
  include_once( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-config.php' );
?>

WP “tenant” wp-config.php is:

<?php
... same as a normal setup except ...

define('WP_HOME', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define('WP_SITEURL', WP_HOME . '/wp');
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/content' );
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/content' );

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

hmm… not much of a choice. Could move it under Everything else WordPress. I just didn’t think it was a “WordPress” problem. If there was a subforum for all things WP-CLI that would be ideal.
