Fresh Install, subfolder multisite, infinite redirect loop sub-blog login

Hello, after reading numerous threads and trying a number of ‘fixes’ I stumbled upon this thread and was hopeful…

Installed the ‘boiler plate’ code for .htaccess (my .htaccess appears in its entirety below. After adding the ‘boiler plate’ still had the same issue – unable to access admin page on sub-blogs. This is a new install with no plugins used.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
# uploaded ?les
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)??les/(.+) wp-includes/ms-?les.php??le=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Ah thank you so much! Glad I ‘gave up’ when I did and pushed it aside for awhile. When I removed the ‘dupe’ code it indeed did work!

Thank you, I should have seen, or thought of that but admittedly I am a ‘nube’ in .htaccess! Thank you for your assistance and input for that did indeed resolve the issue!

Now if someone can direct me how to change this post to resolved, it would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

This is amazing. Spent multiple days looking for this 🙂 I can’t stress how awesome you are for posting this!!!!!!!!

perfect – worked for me – after I removed the other set of rewrite rules I had above the boilerplate code!

Thank you SO much creativepublishing!!! I had already spent hours trying to get this to work and I think you just saved me days more of heartache.

I replaced the code in the htaccess and it just worked like that!

Hi,I’ve the same problem as creativepublishing in his first posts. Dashboard from the first (subfolder) site noch reachable (looperror), site itself is reachable, but without any formating.

I tried for weeks to edit anything – with no success. I am not familiar with .htaccess, but I changed it into:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [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]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

My blogsite (before I installes multisite was in /wordpress. I tried already to change the line in the .htacess into “/”, but afterwards nothing worked anymore. What is wrong with my configuration. Help is REALLY REALLY appreciated. (The first blog – created without multisite works still fine …)

Hello,

I’ve got the same problem, and I’ve tried using the boiler plate code that’s shown in the second post, EXACTLY, but it failed. Here’s my situation…

I have my WordPress instance setup for Multisite on aaa.com. aaa.com works perfectly fine but when I create another WordPress site on aaa.com/bbb, that’s where the problem is. aaa.com/bbb works partially, with the content, but no proper theme. I tried aaa.com/wp-admin, and that’s where the redirect loop issue came up.

This is what I have BEFORE trying the boiler plate code in the second post. What should I edit?
