 * Hi, I’m running a multisite with a subdirectory. I can access both sites admin
   dashboard, but on both home dashboards im told to update my network, but this
   sends me into a redirect loop, and im not able to access the network admin dashboard.
 * I have feel like i’ve looked in every corner of this forum for answers, and there
   are alot of topics concerning the same issue, but i have yet to find any solution…
   So i hope someone can point out the obvious error for me.
 * Im running wordpress from **mydomain.com/wordpress/** but the siteurl i mydomain.
   com where I use `RewriteBase /wordpress/` in .htaccess which is located root 
   folder of the server outside the wordpress install. So the url for site 1 is **
   mydomain.com** and site 2 is **mydomain.com/two**
 * the url for network admin w/ redirect loop accouring looks like this:
    mydomain.
   com/wordpress/wp-admin/network/
 * I have a feeling it has something to do with my .htaccess and wp-config.php to
   do, but not sure at all. my database seems to correspond with my wp-config.php
 * wp-config.php looks like this:
 *     ```
       define ('WPLANG', 'en_US');
   
       define ('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
   
       define('WP_DEBUG', false);
   
       /* Multisite */
       define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
   
       define('MULTISITE', true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'mydomain.com');
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/wordpress/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
   
       define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
       define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
       define('COOKIEPATH', '');
       define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '');
   
       //--- disable auto upgrade
       define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
       ```
   
 * .htaccess looks like this:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       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]
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
