 * Hi, I’m trying to use multisites in localhost. Right now I’m using WAMP but it
   happened the exact same thing with Bitnami. Basically I follow all the steps:
   modifying the wp-config file, selecting subdirectories as an option and finally
   changing the wp-config and .htaccess files with the codes given to me by wordpress.
   After I click log in I’m sent to my front page (localhost/wordpress) and whenever
   I tried to access the admin log in page (either through my blog or through localhost/
   wordpress/wp-admin) I enter some kind of loop and I’m redirected to localhost/
   wordpress. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 * Hmm. Have you tried to define a 401 ErrorDocument yet? Checkout this post…

 * This goes in your DocumentRoot htaccess:
 * `ErrorDocument 401 default`
 * Worth a try!

 * Part of the multisite setup instructions is to ensure that your permalinks work
   before starting. I can’t say about Bitnami, but by default, WAMPServer does not
   have the rewrite_module enabled in Apache, therefore they will not work.
 * An easy way to enable the module is:
    – click the green W icon for WAMPServer
   in the system tray – select Apache > Apache Modules > scroll down the list to
   see `rewrite_module` and click on it to set the check mark – restart Apache
 * Try that 🙂
