 * Hi there.
 * I have a multisite folder install setup, and I’m getting the following errors
   only when accessing a subsite. My admin panel, and main site work just fine.
 *     ```
       [error] [client 170.200.144.6] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace., referer..
       ```
   
 * My site is setup in the document root, which is a vhost. I am not running WP 
   out of it’s own folder.
 * My wp-config looks like this (changed the url because we haven’t launched yet,
   but it is NOT using www as a prefix.
 *     ```
       /**
        * For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
        *
        * Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
        * It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
        * in their development environments.
        */
       define('WP_DEBUG', false);
       define('MULTISITE', true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'mysite.com');
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
       ```
   
 * My .htaccess looks like:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [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]
       ```
   
 * Can anyone help? I’ve searched through the forums and everything here looks like
   it ought be working correctly.

 * Ha. Figured it out. Had some files in the theme for the subsite that were 404’
   s but copies of files at the root install, and apache was redirecting internally
   to find them.
