 * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-a-network-problem-please-help/)
 * i have purchased a domain and a webspace, i want to host 3 different websites
   with one domain, by seperating them into different subfolders.
 * i looked up on the Codex and found “Create a Network” tutorial. i followed it
   and edited wp-config and .htaccess as instructed, but now i can’t log into wp-
   admin.
 * when i type in [http://www.marian.com.tw/wp-admin](http://www.marian.com.tw/wp-admin)
   it redirects to this werid URL
    [http://www.marian.com.tw/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marian.com.tw%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://www.marian.com.tw/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marian.com.tw%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
 * i think the .htaccess is incorrect. how may i fix this?
 * the .htaccess i have right now is
    ‘RewriteEngine On RewriteBase //www.marian.
   com.tw/ 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).*) home/marianco/
   public_html/$2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ home/marianco/public_html/
   $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L]’
 * and for the wp-config i added
 * ‘/* Multisite */
    define(‘MULTISITE’, true); define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
   define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.marian.com.tw’); define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’,‘//
   www.marian.com.tw/’); define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1); define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’,
   1);’
 * i can’t log into my wp-admin no more. what’s the problem?

 * This was the right behaviour:
 *     ```
       when i type in http://www.marian.com.tw/wp-admin it redirects to this werid URL
       http://www.marian.com.tw/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marian.com.tw%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
       ```
   
 * What did you do in the meantime?

 * You only need WP Network if your 3 websites will be developed using WP. Otherwise
   just use subdomains with your hosting to run separate websites.
 * State with URLs how you see the public accessing your 3 websites.
 * Confirm server errors caused by .htaccess by temporarily renaming it.
 * WP Network Admin dashboard->Settings->Network Setup actually recommends `RewriteBase//
   www.marian.com.tw/` in .htaccess ??
    try RewriteBase / And Settings->Network 
   Setup actually recommends `define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '//www.marian.com.tw/');`
   in wp-config.php ?? try define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
 * If you post some path info it might be helpful, as in the
    webserver’s document
   root folder for [http://www.marian.com.tw/](http://www.marian.com.tw/) Is it 
   home/marianco/public_html?

 * This is what’s wrong: `RewriteBase //www.marian.com.tw/`
 * Remove it and make it JUST `RewriteBase /`
