Setup local wordpress multisite
As I do maintain multiple wordpress site that share common source code, the easiest for me was to install a wordpress multisite locally. Assuming you managed to install lamp and wordpress, these are the additional step needed before enabling multisite Activate the apache Mod_Rewrite module: $ sudo a2enmod rewrite Allow .htaccess changes in the virtual file. Open your default virtual host file (assumed). $ sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default In the Directory section, change AllowOverride to All: <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory>
