 * Aim : moving a multisite WordPress installation to localhost
 * Environment: LAMPP on Ubuntu 10.4.
 * I am moving a mutlisite wordpress installation to localhost. Steps that I have
   completed:
    1. recreated db using the backup sql file. 2. copied all folders 
   and files from the server and kept under htdocs. 3. now using the newly generated
   wp-config.php, When I tried to install a mutlisite, I was asked to add the following
   to wp-config.php
 *     ```
       define('MULTISITE', true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'localhost/wordpress');
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/wordpress/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       ```
   
 * 4. I have also added the following in .htaccess:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /wordpress/
       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]
       ```
   
 * While I access my site with the url `http://localhost/wordpress`, I am taken 
   to `http://localhost/wordpress/wordpress/` and get error message stating `Firefox
   has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a
   way that will never complete.`
 * Please help access my site
