wordpress multisite config issue needs help

Question

Here is the wp-config.php code:

test/* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'domain name .com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/wordpress/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

The main site is served from public_html/wordpress so when someone visits abc.com they are redirected to abc.com/wordpress

I have another site which is abc.com/wordpress/cde. The issue is when I post under this sub-domain (for multisite) the post is automatically posted to site 1.

Also, I am not able to change permalinks for second site. When ever I hit update it redirects me to site and updates site 1's permalinks.

UPDATE 1: the permalinks for second site as as follows
abc.com/wordpress/
rather it should be abc.com/wordpress/cde

That's the issue I am trying to figure out. Any help would be much appreciated.

You need to change define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true); to define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false); to start with. Maybe you need to modify you .htaccess file as well.
