# Webhost requirements for plugin to function correctly

 * I am trying to use this plugin to create a 4 networks on the same domain each
   as subfolders. I have tested your plugin on my local OSX amp Stack and on my 
   web host and it works partially ie everything performs as expected in the original
   network. When I go to second and third networks it stops working.
 * [1] It will create additional networks.
    [2] The top level site and the wp-admin/
   network/ all work as expected in each network. [2] It will create a second or
   3rd site within a network and the wp-admin causes “This webpage has a redirect
   loop” [4] When I go the sub-site of the second network the site displays with
   out any styling–basically not connecting to the default theme–2014.
 * What do I need to do locally and ask my web host to make it work as expected?
 * Any help will be appreciated.

 * One more point:
    I am setting up the network under the same domain:
 * mysite.com/network1
    mysite.com/network1/site2 mysite.com/network1/site3
 * mysite.com/network2
    mysite.com/network2/site2 mysite.com/network2/site3
 * mysite.com/network3
    mysite.com/network3/site2 mysite.com/network3/site3

 * One thing you might do is look at your .htaccess rules. I don’t know the cause
   of the infinite redirect, but you can access wp-admin/ if you go instead to wp-
   admin/index.php. I changed the standard rewrite rule for adding a slash to wp-
   admin so it adds a slash and an index.php and that seems to work okay.
 * RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/index.php [R=301,L]
 * As far as your other problem, I had another .htaccess workaround that worked 
   in my limited testing. Essentially, your static resources are getting forwarded
   to index.php instead of getting served. Essentially wordpress thinks they are
   pages or posts in the site. What I did (and this may not work for your setup 
   because you’re doing it a little differently than I am) is add a slash to the
   regex for the wp-content,admin, and includes url rewrite rule.
 * RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-\/]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
 * This, in my instance at least, allowed wordpress to look past the second slash
   in the static resources URL so [http://wwww.domain.com/network/site/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css](http://wwww.domain.com/network/site/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css)
   gets served as a static asset.
 * There’s still a lot of problems that I’m running into and it sure would be nice
   if the plugin authors checked the support forums.
