Description

Hi,
I am trying to enable multisite but the tables is not created when I add in wp-config.php define('MULTISITE', true), but an error appear:

Error establishing a database connection

In log I can see:

[12-Oct-2017 05:53:33 UTC] WordPress database error Unknown column 'wp_' in 'field list' for query SELECT wp_

Since I have custom table prefix in config, seem that installer of extra tables for multisite use default prefix wp_

Or I missed something?

Thanks

I try change all prefix to wp_
but also in this case, I get the same error...

Not sure why, but as soon I add define('MULTISITE', true);
then like db is not found, see image below.

But work fine db connection without it.

Hello @macagoraga, welcome to WordPress Trac!

This Trac is used for enhancements and bug reporting for the WordPress core software.
For support I suggest using our support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/. We also have a codex page for setting up a multisite install, note the WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE constant.

Hi @ocean90

I think that there is a bug, because I have a fresh install, no plugins or themes.

We also have a codex page for setting up a multisite install, note the WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE constant.

When I use define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

then nothing happen, it's like ignored.
It's loaded single site, and tables is not created.

Does not sound like a bug?
