 * Second Multisite Dashboard not displaying. However, both my sites were.
 * I trolled through many forums posts and by in large the technical content went
   over my head. But in the process I did pick up on the importance of checking 
   your .htaccess and wp-config files vigorously.
 * After deleting a few of my multisites from the database taking it back to the
   original one and still as a multisite setup. I streamlined my htdocs folder to
   hold only the files required for the WP install and banished the other files 
   that came with the download to a temp folder.
 * I then noticed I had two .htaccess files! One in the htdocs folder containing
   the proper settings for a multisite and one in the WP folder with original WP
   settings. Deleting the one from the WP with original settings resolved my problem.
 * I wanted to share this with anyone else that might encounter this problem as 
   I did spend a bit of time on this, which I could have put to better use.
 * Can anyone tell me if the second .htaccess file was created in the process of
   adding new sites or have I been a complete numpty and managed to give myself 
   my current headache?

 * It may have been accidently created before you switched WP to run in it’s own
   directory.
