multisite redirects nowhere

    Hi,

    I have set up multisite according to this tutorial:
    https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

    It worked just fine. I created two new sites, so altogether I have three

    – original wordpress installation -> /blog/
    – site “de” -> /blog/de
    – site “en” -> /blog/en

    I can access /blog/ without any problems. It shows the preset wordpress installation. However, trying to access one of the sub-directories just shows unformatted (??) versions of this page.

    See here
    – original wordpress installation -> screenshot
    – site “de” -> screenshot
    – site “en” -> screenshot

    If I try to access either de or en dashboard (in admin panel), I get a ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error.

    What did I do wrong? Also, can I deactivate the original wordpress installation? The reason I have set this up is because I would like to provide my blog in German as well as English; as I need different subpages for each language etc., a regular “language switcher” plugin did not get the job done for me. Multisite combined with Multisite Press Free plugin seemed a better solution for me.

    Can you help me with this?

    Thanks and best regards
    Ben

    What’s in your .htaccess?

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

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]

# END WordPress

    This is the entire .htaccess file. I just pasted the code wordpress provided.

    Also, there are no /de/ and /en/ directories even though that is where those two sites should be. Do I have to install a single wordpress into each folder?

    No, there will be no folders for each site, they’re virtual like the posts and pages 🙂

    This is most likely an issue with your server. Check that your httpd.conf has the right allows: https://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#Apache_Virtual_Hosts_and_Mod_Rewrite

    If you don’t know where that is, ask your web host.

    Thanks for the info.

    In the meantime I switched to regular wordpress and different plugins, so now I can use two languages without restrictions, yet not having to use mutlisite.
