Permalinks problem, error 404 (same for MultiSite)

    I have problem with error 404 while using permalinks (or MultiSite)
    My hosting provider says the mod-rewrite works normally there.
    My .htaccess file is as follows:

    # BEGIN WordPress
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /psychoterapia/
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]
# END WordPress

    My site is here: http://fidas.nazwa.pl/psychoterapia
    My example post should be here: http://fidas.nazwa.pl/psychoterapia/blog/archiwa/62 but it returns 404 error

    If I delete .htaccess file the WordPress is not creating one while changing permalinks settings nor displaying any error message like “I can’t create .htaccess…”

    I have also installed a AskApache Debug plugin which has an option to log errors to the log file – but the file is not created at all.

    Would be grateful for any hint how to find the reason and how to look for it?

    Moreover I checked that my hosting provider does support mode rewrite:
    I created a test folder and test file index.php here:
    http://fidas.nazwa.pl/testht/index.php

    In the folder testht I put the simple .htaccess file like this:
    Options FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule .* index.php

    and it works, any request like for example this
    http://fidas.nazwa.pl/testht/blabla
    is opening my index.php

    Moreover if I undo my changes to .htaccess ant bring it to ths stage:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /psychoterapia/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /psychoterapia/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    And permalinks work correctly! But MultiSite pages are ugly and in total mess and their dasboard is returning error: “Too Many Redirects” here:
    http://fidas.nazwa.pl/psychoterapia/istdp/wp-admin/
    (where istdp is one of the multisite pages)

    So now I am going to see what is wrong with .htaccess rules.

    Now I can see some differences in syntax in these respective lines:

    “Good” lines:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    “wrong lines”

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

    Good lines were there after I installed WP. Wrong lines appeared when I copied the lines prompted by WordPress when starting MultiSite – I was supposed to edit my .htaccess and add/replace the suggested lines. However I am not sure if these are really the lines prompted by WordPress

    Apparently there are differences in syntax – no exclmation sign in “wrong” or “suspected” lines and additional [OR]

    I continue my investigation. Any suggestions are welcome.
    Maybe I will study how to write commands in .htaccess :-). I wanted to use something plug-and-play :-(, :-), without becoming a programmer again, after years.

    Hi,
    I changed may installation of wordpress, now WP files are in /wordpress subfolder bud index.php is in the root folder.

    I changed some lines in .htaccess and now permalinks AND multisite work correctly.
    After reading a little about .htaccess and regular expressions I feel ashamed for my previous posts here, so please, don’t learn from them.
    But still I don’t know what was wrong in my .htaccess file and if my current .htaccess file is OK

    My current, working .htaccess is as follows:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wordpress/wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) wordpress/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    remarks are welcome
