ms-settings.php

the / is fine – that means a root install
it’s this line you need to fix
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'yourrealdomainname.com' );
without any prefix

Moving this to the MultiSite subfourm

And don’t change ms-settings.php ?? That’s a core file and will break stuff if you change it.

If you’re STILL having the problem, check that you don’t have two $BASE entires. There was a webhost that was putting that in for people.

Thanks for replies Guys

My cofig now looks like this

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
$base = "/";
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'goshawkuk.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE','/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

But still getting this:===
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/goshawk1/public_html/wp-includes/ms-settings.php on line 14

And ms-settings line 14+15 look like this

if ( 'BASE' = $base )
	die( /*WP_I18N_BASE_ERROR*/ 'Configuration error in wp-config.php. $base is set to BASE when it should be like / or /blogs/.'/*/WP_I18N_BASE_ERROR*/ );

Still Even more Baffled!!!! [Complete newby you see]

And Ms-settings line 14+15 look like this

if ( 'BASE' = $base )
	die( /*WP_I18N_BASE_ERROR*/'Configuration error in wp-config.php

Even more Baffled.

Get out of ms-settings.php.

Put the file down and walk away, you do not need to edit it. I have a ruler, son, and I will smack your hands.

Try this in your wp-config.php – Note the SINGLE quotes use for Base.

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
$base = '/';
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'goshawkuk.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE','/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

Failing that, re-install the core WordPress files. This will not overwrite your settings. Just download a fresh copy of WP and copy the files up to your server.

Got out of ms-setting considering myself Smacked.

No that didn’t work. It just gave an error on line 18

re-installing core files. keep you posted.

Thanks.

Re loaded wordpress. That didn’t help. Error now on line 18

Just so you understand,t he error on line isn’t actually accurate at all. PHP calculates weirdly and it’s not telling you if it’s really that file or one being called.

So lets go back to basics. Turn off all your plugins. Yes. All. Even the ones in mu-plugins.

Could not turn plugins off. [can’t get in to do so]

Have downloaded them and deleted from ftp. I can then re-install

No idea what we are doing !!! lol

Have re-installed WP still no change

Still getting this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’, expecting ‘)’ in /home/goshawk1/public_html/wp-config.php on line 18

Baffleder and Baffleder!!!!

Also downloaded then deleted plugins

Still no joy

Turn off the themes. Remove all but twentyeleven from the themes folder.

What kind of change were you making when this happened?

Thanks very much given up on multisite

Was trying to install multithemes

Have removed Multithemes from config
Downloaded plugins. Then deleted them from site Via FTP
Re-loaded set of new Plugins [NO multisite]
Got back into site Then this.
