 1.  Add the specified lines to yourwp-config.php file  (These lines must be added just after the Multisite definition as in the previous steps)

define(‘MULTISITE’, true);

define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);

define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘127.0.0.1’);

define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/wordpress/’);

define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

2. Add the specified lines to your .htaccessfile (If you do not have a .htaccess file, then create it in the same directory as your wp-config.php file and if you already have a .htaccess file, replace the existing lines with these new ones)

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /wordpress/

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
