.htaccess loop?

Hi,

I’m using NearlyFreeSpeech to host my WordPress site.

I’m having a bit of trouble with .htaccess and the permalinks.

I can view the site at matt.mccurdyfamily.net, but I cannot get to any of the pages. (matt.mccurdyfamily.net/about). I get the web host’s 404 page.

At the root site, I have this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_ENTEREDSITE} !=1
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_REDIRECT_ENTEREDSITE} !=1
RewriteRule ^.*$ %{HTTP_HOST}/$0 [env=ENTEREDSITE:1] [last]

I found this on the NFS wiki to make a subdomain from a directory.

The .htaccess contents given to me on the permalinks settings is this:

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

However, when I try to access wp-admin, it loops to this:
http://matt.mccurdyfamily.net/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmatt.mccurdyfamily.net%2Fmatt.mccurdyfamily.net%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

This only happens when I place the .htaccess in the /home/public/matt.mccurdyfamily.net directory.

My files are located here:
/home/public/matt.mccurdyfamily.net/

Both my site URL and WordPress Address are
http://matt.mccurdyfamily.net

Does anyone have any tips for correcting this problem?

Thanks.
