I am installing a network on a brand new version of WordPress. As the site is currently live elsewhere, I have edited my local hosts file to work on the new site.
When I used the Network Setup tool, I got the following warning:
“Wildcard DNS may not be configured correctly – the installer attempted to contact a random hostname on your domain. This resulted in an error message: cURL error 6: Could not resolve host…”
Do I need this wildcard entry before it will work?
Then when I modified and uploaded the wp-config file as instructed, I got a 500 Error when I tried to log in again.
The culprit is this line:
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true);
When I remove it the site loads, but with no evidence of multisite.
Any suggestions will be appreciated
