Hi @lmacret,

GitHub issues are meant for enhancement requests and specific, reproducible bugs, not for general support questions. For support options, please review http://wp-cli.org/#support

[danielbachhuber]

In discussing this in Slack, we've identified the source of the problem. PHP's built-in webserver doesn't support .htaccess, which is required for some of those rewrite conditions to be applied.

I'm not sure whether it's viable for WP-CLI to automatically handle .htaccess files. If it isn't, then we should make sure this behavior is documented.

[lmacret]

the rules are the one shown in admin page for network creation : /wp-admin/network/setup.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

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]
