There is obviously an error in your setup that you overlooked. Follow these instructions carefully. Don’t go saying “I already done this. I’m sure I have it right”. Trust me, I had similar issues. I just didnt follow the instructions correctly.
First undo all your modifications to files. Then do the following
1. Enter define( ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true ); into wp-admin.php
2. Disable all plugins
3.Go to Tools-> Network Setup. You should see further instruction on altering wp and .htaccess file. Follow them…
4. youre done.
Thanks for your response, I don’t pretend to do be a no it all.
I’ll follow your instructions
If it’s a set up error maybe I’ll take it up with dreamhost as it was a one click install, I have used multisites on their one click installs before without a problem. I’m not sure what I can do from my end other than uninstalling wordpress and installing it again manually without the one click install, I’ll bug them first to see what I can do.
If there are other things to address the setup without uninstalling I’d be curious
BUMP
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like (ibb is an image host), this is a png file

I take it that you deactivated all plugins. If you have a caching plugin. this should be deactivated as well. Log out, and login again. What are your multisite constants within wp-config.php?
I had the exact issue to include being with dreamhost – the answer is to remove the one click wordpress install & do a fresh install by downloading it from wordpress.org just like this dude @ youtube… It worked for me
