 * I’m new to WordPress and this whole Multisite setup, and I am trying to access
   the Network admin panel. I did get it set up using a subfolder (not subdomain)
   setup, but when I try to access the panel, it tells me:
 * > The webpage at [http://www.ucan.io/main/wp-admin/network/](http://www.ucan.io/main/wp-admin/network/)
   > has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or 
   > allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a 
   > server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.
 * I have the following items in my wp-config.php file:
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
       define('MULTISITE', true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.ucan.io');
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/main/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       ```
   
 * and my .htaccess file:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       # uploaded files
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $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]
       ```
   
 * I tried to follow several bits of instructions to try and fix the problem, including
   [this one.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-site-redirect-loop-solution?replies=1)
 * But for whatever reason, when I tried to follow the instructions, there were 
   no domains showing up on any of the lines!
 * All plugins are disabled, I’m on the default 2015 theme, and I’m stumped…
 * Does anyone know of a solution that will allow me to access my network admin 
   panel for multisite?

 * Are you using shared hosting or VPS?
 * Also, try this .htaccess configuration.
 *     ```
       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).*) $2 [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
       ```

 * Sorry to bug you, but I got it figured out by re-installing a fresh copy and 
   making sure to add in Multisite RIGHT after install. It worked like a charm.
