Multisite on remote server = redirect loop || database error

I’m hoping you just need to use wp-cli’s wp core multisite-install as a final step:

# provision using server.yml

# deploy using deploy.yml or bin/deploy.sh

# SSH to server as the web user
$ ssh web@example.com

# Change to site directory
$ cd /srv/www/example.com/current

# Install WP multisite
$ wp core multisite-install --title="Title" --admin_user="username" --admin_password="password" --admin_email="you@domain.com"

If it outputs The network already exists you could (backup data if you need it, then) wp db reset and try the wp core multisite-install again.

Then see if you can connect in the browser.

Let us know of any solution you may find so we can get it in the docs or fix it in the code.
