• Hello,

    I’m trying to run wordpress multisite (on bluehost). On that server I already have a few wordpress installations (e.g. ~/public_html/accorda and ~/public_html/socialfeel-net. The ~/public_html/.htaccess contains:
    `
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    # if I turn off the following rule I stop getting 500 on
    # space.socialfeel.net/wp-admin/ but I still get 404
    # but then permalinks on accorda stop working
    # (http://accorda-institute.org/research/)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    `

    And the ~/public_html/social_feel-net/.htaccess contains:
    `
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ – [L]
    RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    `

    When I try to open wp-admin page of a created new subdomain (from wp-admin > my-sites > subdomain > dashboard) I always get 500 error message. The server log sais Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace., referer: http://socialfeel.net/wp-admin/my-sites.php

    If I remove rules from ~/public_html/.htaccess apart from that permalinks on accorda stop working I am getting 404 error message on socialfeel.net. The error message shows then:
    `
    File does not exist: /home1/accordai/public_html/wildcard/wp-admin, referer: http://socialfeel.net/wp-admin/my-sites.php
    `

    The file indeed does not exist, and the server is looking for it in a wrong directory.

    Thanks for ideas how to fix this.

  • Thank you in advance, to everyone who wants to help 🙂

    I will just add that there is BuddyPress installed on the socialfeel.net

    Hey 🙂

    Can you show your apache configuration? Do you have access to it?
    I think then it’s easier to configure virtual hosts at the web server level, and not the .htaccess. (I’m not an expert of .htaccess..)

    good luck!
