Probably an .htaccess error. My guess is a typo. Backup your .htaccess file and remove it, then try accessing the url that generates 500 error. You should get a 404 error now instead.

Thanks for replying
Renamed .htaccess
mydomain.com/site1 remains same ie opens but without styles
mydomain.com/site1/wp-adming generates following message
“This page isn’t working
mydomain.com redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS”
Yup, its a syntax error in your .htaccess file. You must have an error in your copy and paste. You can post your .htaccess here. Or you can carefully go through it line by line.

You were right – not sure where the folder name came from. I removed the words “ourbusiness” from above code and it worked.
Thank you so much for being here to guide me.

I was going to say your .htaccess is non-standard. You should get the .htaccess from your network menu, the url looks something like this – http://domain.com/wp-admin/network/setup.php
I copy and paste the .htaccess and wp-config.php contents from there.
I’m glad you figured it out =)
