WordPress multisite: more than one WP site in one server

I don’t have so much mood to write lately. I guess I’ve been busy thinking or something like that. Anyway, here I am again. (B)logging the last thing I did, that is to transform a single WP install onto a multisite install.I will be following this guide to arrive to the desired multisite configuration.

I start with an installed version (so no docker) on CentOS 7. I deactivate the plugins, then edit /var/www/html/wp-config.php as indicated.

Add this code before the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ line:

/* Multisite */
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

I save the edits on the wp-config.php, and restart httpd service. Unfortunately I don’t get the Network Setup Menu as in the guide (maybe you get it) but I don’t worry about it and continue. After that I will regret, and I will need to edit various other files to achieve what I want. Here you have the details about the file modifications needed. But basicallyt I have installed phpMyAdmin also. For that I have installed and configured mod_rewrite for apache and fixed a package error problem with php 7.4 install on CentOS 7.9. In brief

yum-config-manager --disable 'remi-php*'
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php74

And of course, I have given permission to access phpmyadmin on this server. But at the end, as usual I manage to get what I want. Or should I say you managed to get what you wanted? 🧐. Because what I want is to write about what I think, not about what I do. And I’m not in the mood 😔. See you around…
