Multisite Install XAMPP OS X Error 404

  • I tried installing multisite using local XAMPP server on my OS X 10.10.2.
    I followed all the directions on https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network
    wp-config and .htaccess files all set, but I keep getting Error 404 whenever I click on the dashboard for any of the sites I make. The main wordpress dashboard works just fine, as well as all my other separate wordpress installations not using multisite. Any recommendations will be much appreciated. Thank you!

    I have a similar problem discussed in this thread, I tried following along, but I still cant get multisite to work:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/subdirectory-problems/page/2?replies=33

    Basically the reason Im trying to install multisite is to have a single WordPress install for all my default Genesis theme demos. Its much easier for me to just keep them as separate installations/databases, but since it takes up much more space and clutters my htdocs folder, I wanted to see if multisite is a more efficient solution.

    Before setting up multisite, pretty permalinks was working just fine, but now all my blog posts get error 404, same thing when I click on any new site I add to the multisite Network Admin dashboard. During the Network installation process it said “Because you are using localhost, the sites in your WordPress network must use sub-directories.”

    Ive included the code for both .htaccess and httpd.conf that I’m using. Im guessing either the code Im using is wrong, or my files aren’t being read for some reason. Im relatively new to WordPress so any guidance will be much appreciated:

    .htaccess in Applications ? XAMPP ? xamppfiles ? htdocs ? wordpress

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
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]

    httpd.conf in Applications ? XAMPP ? xamppfiles ? apache2 ? conf

    Alias /bitnami/ "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/htdocs/"
Alias /bitnami "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/htdocs"

<Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
