Can't access wp-admin after Multisite Migration

    I have a subdomain multisite with subdirectories for the multisites. (version 4)

    I migrated to another URL (also a subdomain) and changed the URL via Migrate DB and also tried a version via the interconnect/IT script.

    I can’t access wp-admin – get a redirect loop, but all the sites are visible and operational.

    My htaccess is

    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-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    My wp-config.php Multisite details are:

    /* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'themes.wpbeaches.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    Any thoughts

    Tried that, also tried connecting from a computer that never browsed to the site before.

    I went to https://themes.wpbeaches.com/wp-admin and got this in my redirect checker:

    https://themes.wpbeaches.com/wp-admin/
302: Temporary redirect to https://themes.wpbeaches.com/wp-admin/

    Try disabling .htaccess entirely for a go…

    When I disable .htaccess I get a Server 500 error across the site, so i re-enabled

    I can get to the login screen if I try wp-login.php but on login it also gets into too many redirects.

    Full stop. On ALL SITES? On everything? Even the main site?

    If so, you have a big problem, because the main site (and network admin) DO NOT rely on .htaccess

    Hi Mika – thanks for your help on this.

    I ran the MigratePro db pro again this time set the destination URL domain to be a regular URL, not a subdomain and it worked fine.

    So it turns out the initial subdomain was created as a new account in the WHM interface of cPanel and the new destination was also created this way – somehow it doesn’t migrate.

    So i created the destination as a cPanel subdomain instead, so same URL but different webroot – did the Migrate DB and it works ok.

    YAY! There you go ?? Gotta watch out for the cpanel defaults. They want you to put things in folders :/
