 * i’m running 5 worpress instances sucessfully behind a apache server using rewrite
   rules for some years now.
 * now i thought it’s a good idea to give the mulitsite feature in wordpress 3 a
   try as it would ease the support of these websites. my problem is:
    – i installed
   a new wordpress in the root of my internal server – i configured the external
   apache to do the redirects to the internal server – i configured the wordpress
   successfully, whith the litte glitch that i had to edit the site URL and blog
   URL to the URL of the external apache – everything worked with no problems – 
   i enabled the multisite feature in wp-config.php – i completed the network setup
   with the url myserver.com (without the www) and copy pasted the code to wp-config.
   php and .htaccess
 * now i’m in trouble because i get the infinite redirect loop and can’t access 
   either the blog nor the login page nor the admin interface. i retried the whole
   setup with the url [http://www.myserver.com](http://www.myserver.com) but no 
   difference.
 * now my question:
    does anyone has a similar setup up and running? do i have to
   hack something to get this to work? can anyone tell me what’s wrong?
 * regards, wolfgang

 * Hi Wolfgang,
    I think I got this working, I added: `RequestHeader set Host publicdomain`
   to .`htaccess`
 *  I wrote a little about it here:
