Solved. Thank you very much for your help. That was the clue: AllowOverride All has to be set on the involved “Directory” of the Apache server and with:

# use .htaccess files for overriding,
AccessFileName .htaccess
# and never show them
<Files ~ “^\.ht”>
<IfModule !mod_access_compat.c>
Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_access_compat.c>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>

for safety reasons…

Again, thanks and regards.

Hello, my-sites.php exists under wp-admin and with the permissions 644 and owner:group the Apache user and Apache group.
Concerning the httpd.conf parameter AllowOverride All is not set !!! I will change it and will let you know…

BTW I’ve tried a fresh installation of another wp instance with the same results…and with the same config for AllowOverride of course !!!

This is the wp-config.php with the extra information you mention at the end…

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

and the .htaccess which is located in the …/wordpress/… directory:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
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]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Nothing seems strange to me….I think I did it successfully.
I’m not familiar with the rewrite rules, but I included in the .htaccess what was shown after the multisite installation…
