Multi sites missing setup page

  • Hi there
    trying to create wordpress Multi sites.
    We have uploaded the wp-config.php with the additional text
    Then under Tools the new Network tab appeared
    we clicked it open but we did not get the ¨Create a Network of WordPress sites¨
    which allows you to select sub directories or sub domains
    That page was missing so we could not install.
    it went directly to the page with two more lines of code to add one to the wp-config.php
    the other to .htaccess which was not in the wordpress folder so we made one.

    we logged out.
    when we logged back in, the Network tab was gone and we have no idea how to add a new site.

    any help will be greatly appreciated

    Now, with your plugins off, what do you see on the network setup tab?

    like we said
    this is what we see
    network setups tab
    takes us to
    Create a Network of WordPress Sites
    Enabling the Network
    here is the text we see:

    Create a Network of WordPress Sites

    Warning: An existing WordPress network was detected.

    Please complete the configuration steps. To create a new network, you will need to empty or remove the network database tables.
    Enabling the Network

    Complete the following steps to enable the features for creating a network of sites.

    Caution: We recommend you back up your existing wp-config.php and .htaccess files.

    Create a blogs.dir directory at /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/blogs.dir. This directory is used to store uploaded media for your additional sites and must be writeable by the web server.

    Add the following to your wp-config.php file in /var/www/html/wordpress/ above the line reading /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:

    That means the database still shows that you have a network, which is why this is happeneing.

    I’d install a NEW version of WP in a subfolder, import all your posts etc there, and then DELETE the existing site and move the new one back into the main level of your site.

    THEN try Multisite.

    You messed something up but good.

    You don’t know how to install WordPress?

    Then you really shouldn’t be messing around with Multisite.

    which folders do we salvage from the original wp folder
    ie the ones that have our current wp site

    All of them.

    There’s no difference between the fiules on Multisite as the ones on WordPress.
