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
http://162.243.211.128/wp-admin/maint/repair.php?repair=1

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?
