# Cannot access network admin panel

 * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-network-admin-panel/)
 * I have a fresh install of WP multisite with half a dozen blogs configured. I 
   can access all of these and their control panels but I cannot access the network
   dashboard. The page I am trying to access is:
 * `http://54.171.135.229/wp-admin/network/plugins.php`
 * I clearly could at some point because I have setup the sites.
 * The message I see is as follows:
 * `Google Chrome could not load the webpage because 54.171.135.229 took too long
   to respond.`
 * I have checked that Apache logs and there isn’t anything related to this there.
   I did also wonder if it is the .htaccess file but I cannot see anything obvious:
 *     ```
       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).*) $1 [L]
       #RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]

 * Anyone any ideas where to look next?

 * Turns out this was down to me. When I changed to an elastic IP on AWS I didn’t
   change the DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE setting in wp-config.php.
