Aborted trying to redefine constant 'MULTISITE'. `define('MULTISITE', ...)` has already been occurred elsewhere

I’m trying to deploy a multisite to a newly provisioned staging server. I followed the instructions on this page and was able to successfully get the multisite working on my local dev, and I was able to provision the staging server successfully but now when trying to deploy, it fails at this task:

There are two cases of define('MULTISITE', ...) that I found: the Config::define('MULTISITE', true); line that I put in site/config/application.php, and I also found a define('MULTISITE', false); in trellis/roles/deploy/files/tmp_multisite_constants.php.

Can someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?? I NEED to have the Config::define('MULTISITE', true); line in application.php don’t I?
