I’m following along with the WordPress multi-site tutorial here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-multiple-wordpress-sites-using-multisite which also references a few other tutorials on DO.
I went through the tutorial twice (i.e. setup two servers) and got the same problem, namely some of my tables are not setup. You can see the error here

ok, thanks, it worked this time. The problem was that I thought these two lines were the same, so I only added one of them <br> <br>define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); <br>define(‘MULTISITE’, true); <br> <br> <br>
That’s odd. I just followed the following articles in the same order that they are listed in and it works just fine (screenshot: <a href=“https://kmlnsr.me/Screenshot from 2013-12-23 11%3A12%3A23.png”>https://kmlnsr.me/Screenshot from 2013-12-23 11%3A12%3A23.png</a>): <br> <br><a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu</a> <br><a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-WordPress-on-ubuntu-12-04”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-WordPress-on-ubuntu-12-04</a> <br><a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-multiple-wordpress-sites-using-multisite”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-multiple-wordpress-sites-using-multisite</a> <br> <br>I added a second site but still do not see any of these <code>wp_1_*</code> tables. Did you follow the articles as is or did you change anything?
