Description

What's wrong?

I am having lots of apache errors from time to time in my Multisite Subdomain Installs.
AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

Steps To Reproduce

LimitInternalRecursion errors gives the following htaccess:

     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
     RewriteBase /
     RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

     # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
     RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
     RewriteRule ^ - [L]
     RewriteRule ^(wp-.*.php)$ wp/$1 [L]
     RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) wp/$1 [L]
     RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
     RewriteRule . index.php [L]

I am trying to work with RewriteBase /wp/ but I get file not found in /wp-login.php, wp-cron.php etc but no LimitInternalRecursion .

     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
     RewriteBase /wp/
     RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

     # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
     RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
     RewriteRule ^ - [L]
     RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
     RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
     RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Expected Behavior

Not LimitInternalRecursion nor Primary script unknown on wp-*php

Actual Behavior

RewriteBase /wp/ gives Primary script unknown and RewriteBase / LimitInternalRecursion

Relevant Log Output

No response

This doesn't seem like a bug in Bedrock since we have no included Apache integration or htaccess file. Why do you think it's a bug in Bedrock itself?

[alexbogias]

@swalkinshaw What do you mean? /wp in urls is bedrock thing i suppose. Doesnt need any apache rules?
https://docs.roots.io/bedrock/master/server-configuration/#apache-configuration-for-bedrock
Here you have nginx regular wp multisite, subpath and multisite subdomain configuration. Apache misses both multisite required configurations.

[swalkinshaw]

Our docs are in https://github.com/roots/docs if you think this is an issue with the documentation? I'm not sure if you're saying that example config is wrong or just missing an improvement.

But there's nothing to fix in this repo for Bedrock itself.

[alexbogias]

Docs are missing apache multisite configuration, and I am using unofficial third-party .htaccess snippets form the forum, but nothing seems to work without issues...

[alexbogias]

the example config is for non-multisite installs and is working fine, Why closed?

[swalkinshaw]

I transferred the issue to https://github.com/roots/docs

Doing the research and maintaining the proper Apache webserver configuration for WordPress multisite setups isn't something that we're interested in. None of us use Apache.
