 * Hi!
 * I have problems to migrate a multisite site to another folder
 * -I’ve Moved files
    -I’ve copied the database to a new database -I modified in
   wp-config new database data and DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE -I replaced the old domain
   to the new domain in the new database
 * But when trying to view the index the browser gives me a problem of infinite 
   redirection loop …
 * -He deshabilitado todos los plugins
    -He borrado el htacces y el problema continua
 * I forget what to do? Does anyone knows what the problem?

 * How? What did you use to search/replace?
 * You’ll notice we have special directions here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Multisite](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Multisite)
 * Try deleting ALL cookies from your browser for your site, BTW.

 * To replace I used the script: [https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/](https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/)
 * Then I went manually to the database with phpmyadmin and I reviewed the following
   points
 *  home
    siteurl fileupload_url wp_site wp_blogs
 * All are correct
 * I deleted cache, cookies, browser and other pc …
 * 🙁

 * What new DB data? The DB name and user ids and passwords should all stay the 
   same.

 * What did you change the domain from and to?
 * It sounds like you have a miss match of www and non www urls in there.

 * How did you check that? Did you make sure it was right in wp-config.php and the
   wp_options table as well as wp_blog?

 * Did you flush all the cookies again? I know, it’s annoying, but you have to make
   sure you do that AFTER you fix the URLs.

 * In the end I changed the multisite site to a normal site . Then I could duplicate
   it to another folder without problems
 * A lot of thanks for your help 😉
