Trying to access second site dashboard on a multisite configuration proceeds to an error

Question

Having this issue that I create a sub-site and when I try to access the dashboard of that sub-site it leads to this error

This page isn’t working domain.com redirected you too many times. Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

.htaccess

#BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
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-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

</IfModule>

#END WordPress

wp-config.php

/* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );

define('MULTISITE', true);

define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);

define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'domain.com');

define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');

define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

Looked to many searches of this error none helped me. Any advice? Thanks in advance

Your .htaccess and wp-config.php match mine pretty closely.

It sounds like you want to check the new site's definition, to ensure it isn't creating a circular reference. To get there use http://{your-server.com}/wp-admin/network/sites.php.

• Locate the site, mouse-over its title, and click the [ Edit ] link.
• Ensure the proper site url is entered on the first tab, in the Site Address (URL) field. This frequently gets truncated, or otherwise fouled up.
• Then, check the "Settings" tab. Make sure the site address is correct in the following (SiteURL, Home, Ossdl Off Include Dirs).

If that doesn't do it, you'll need to start checking your theme and plugins. If it comes to that, Bitnami has a pretty good troubleshooting checklist. It is written primarily as if you were a Bitnami client. However, a clever person will overlook their proprietary info and use their checklist as a basis for thorough troubleshooting.

Good luck!
