 * I installed a multi-site network using the sub-directory option. Everything seems
   to be working well with a child theme I installed. However, I can access the 
   site via [http://www.mahadum.com/scholarships/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-accessing-mutisite-network-using-child-themes/www.mahadum.com/scholarships/?output_format=md)
   and not via [http://www.mahadum.com/scholarships](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-accessing-mutisite-network-using-child-themes/www.mahadum.com/scholarships?output_format=md).
   What difference does the ‘/’ make? Surprisingly, I don’t have problems accessing
   both [http://www.mahadum.com/videos/](http://www.mahadum.com/videos/) and [http://www.mahadum.com/videos](http://www.mahadum.com/videos).
 * Anyone encountered a similar problem?

 * What’s in your .htaccess? Sounds like you’re missing a line.

 * Here’s what I have in the .htaccess:
 *     ```
       # Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
       AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
       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).*) $1 [L]
       RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * That should be fine. Who’s your host?

 * Assuming BOTH videos and scholarships are subfolder sites, you don’t have a page
   named scholarships do you?
 * Have you tried turning off plugins?
