• Created a brand new 3.2 wp site. Followed the instructions for setting it up as multi-site/creating a network.

    If I go to wp-admin/network.php it says “An existing WordPress network was detected.”

    However, when I’m logged in, I don’t see a drop down menu or anything showing me as Superadmin as shown here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Network_Admin_Settings_Screen

    my .htaccess file is what it should be, per what it gave me.

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    
    # uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
    
    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ - [L]
    RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
    RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    and my wp-config.php has exactly what was provided.

    /** Enable Multi Site */
    define( 'MULTISITE', true );
    define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
    $base = '/';
    define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', ' ADBSDFD.com' );
    define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
    define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
    define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

    What could I be missing? Thanks!

    that’s what I have :/

    a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}

    I was having similar problems getting multi-site working on a clean install of 3.2, in my case, the network menu never shows up anyway. Deleted it, install 3.1 to check I didn’t miss a step in procedure. Deleted 3.1, installed 3.2 and it just worked. So as useless as this might seem, if nothing else works, try installing 3.1 first ??

    Xephan – exactly – that network menu isn’t showing up. In this case, I did install 3.1 first and then let it do the upgrade. Same result. I’m logged in, I’m the admin and it shows above I am. As simple as the steps are, this should be a no-brainer. I’m a techie in general (doing web development) so this shouldnt be difficult.

    Did you do the standard ‘Turn off all plugins, switch to the default TwentyEleven Theme’ stuff?

    @creativelasso: I didn’t let it do the upgrade since I saw a lot of people having problems with that as well. I deleted the 3.1 installation and database, copied in a fresh set of 3.2 files and installed again. And it worked. Totally unexplainable since nothing changed in between.

    @ipstenu – yes, all plugins are off. I never changed from the default theme. I’m just trying to get it going.

    @xephan – thanks for the info. I tried that and it didn’t work either. *sigh* I deleted all. Downloaded fresh and installed. Same thing – the menu doesnt show up!

    it says a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
    it says “Warning: An existing WordPress network was detected.” when I go to https://wp1.barbaraniven.com/wp-admin/network.php

    Well the network.php will ALWAYS give you a network is created if the db files are there and you revisit.

    Something’s NOT getting written to your database, but I can’t think of what!

    I have exactly the same problem!
    But I already found one difference in the code
    after this:
    define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
    creativelasso installed:
    define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
    they asked me to install:
    define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true );
    Any way it makes no difference.
    I still have a string:
    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
    is that right?

    And When I go https://www.mysite.com/admin it doesn’t work anymore.

    Probably I just found something:
    I created one extra user “xxxx”.
    When I log out and log in back I still have this use name “xxxx”!
    I cleaned cash but it still there.

    I built another mu site and didn’t add any more users and that site when I click on Network Admin give me:
    This webpage has a redirect loop
    And there is no SuperAdmin.

    @dim_2007 define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true ); being true or false is based on if you are doing subdomains or doing subdirectories.

    I’ve tried leaving define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); in and removing it. Didn’t make a difference.

    @ipstenu are there any other resources you can suggest for those of us with this issue? I need to get this setup for a client.

    Thanks!

    Did you guys delete the sql database before re-installing? If things are still found in the database or wordpress can’t create/modify tables, then it could be a database permissions issue.

    I assume you have check that your PHP and SQL versions are up to date?

    @lasso: does it make a diff if you shift the location of the define statement further up in wp-config, e.g. near the top after the defines for user/server/password?

    Ive flagged this for more help from more people.

    I don’t know whats wrong. It works for me, and I’m kinda stumped ??

    @ipstenu Thanks – from reading the “Installs” forum, it appears several others are having similar issues with this functionality.

    Two things:

    a) “Super Admin” is gone. It will never be there, and the codex needs to be updated to reflect that. It got replaced with the Network Admin screen in 3.1, and that Network Admin link is now hidden behind the Hello Username dropdown in the upper right hand corner.

    b) The only way I can see that you’d get the “An existing WordPress network was detected.” message is to not have the SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL flag defined in wp-config.php properly while still having some of the network stuff in the database. It doesn’t check whether you define it true or false, just that you have indeed defined it in some manner. Did you put the define at the top of the file with all the other defines?
