# wordpress multisite subfolder install & godaddy

 * Somehow the .htaccess file I am asked to install while following the instructions
   under network setup in a fresh wordpress install is breaking wordpress:
 * > Internal Server Error
   >  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration
   > and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator
   > and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have
   > done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may 
   > be available in the server error log. Apache Server at summaestudios.com Port
   > 80
 * My .htaccess file reads as follows:
 *     ```
       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]
       ```
   
 * I re-name or delete .htaccess and the site seems to be running as a network, 
   but I’ve the sense it won’t stay that way w/o mod-rewrite etc. Any suggestions?
