23218	The suggested .htaccess rules located in `wp-admin/network/setup.php` do not work.	conner_bw		"Hi

I've installed WordPress 3.5 as multi-site on my localhost mahcine. I used the ""Famous 5-Minute Install."" + ""Create a Network of WordPress Sites"" docs. Once finished, the root blog is working fine, all the admin options are working fine.

The site URL is located here:

''### http://localhost/~dac514/pb-externals/trunk/wp/''

The issue is when I add a new site named ""test"" I get an infinite redirect error I.e

''### This web page has a redirect loop. The web page at http://localhost/~dac514/pb-externals/trunk/wp/test/wp-admin/ has resulted in too many redirects.''

The problem is the suggested .htaccess rules are wrong.

When I go to:

''### http://localhost/~dac514/pb-externals/trunk/wp/wp-admin/network/setup.php''

I'm suggested:

{{{
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /~dac514/pb-externals/trunk/wp/
	RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [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).*) home/dac514/public_html/pb-externals/trunk/wp/$2 [L]
	RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ home/dac514/public_html/pb-externals/trunk/wp/$2 [L]
	RewriteRule . index.php [L]
}}}

	
These rules do not work. In contrast, replacing them with an old rule set suggested by 3.4.X works fine. I.e.

{{{
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /~dac514/pb-externals/trunk/wp/
	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]
}}}
