Comment (by ahmedsayeed1982):

 The following rules should be added to the setup.php file in place of the
 recommended.htaccess rules:

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /~dac514/pb-externals/trunk/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 ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) wp/$2 [L]
 RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ wp/$2 [L]
 RewriteRule . index.php [L]

 Your localhost environment should function better with these updated
 rules. Make sure to add the updated rules above to the.htaccess file in
 your WordPress installation, replacing the ones that are currently there.
 Try adding a new site again after making these adjustments to see if the
 infinite redirect error has been fixed. If the problems persist, you might
 also need to make sure that your local server environment is configured
 correctly for multisite installations and examine the WordPress
 configuration. Furthermore, if mod_rewrite isn't already enabled in your
 Apache configuration, make sure it is.
