Install wordpress in another wordpress's subdirectory-CodePudding

I have a wordpress site setup at the root directory for example: www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com and now I would like to install another wordpress at one of the subdirectory of it: www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/folder/

After the installation, I cannot access the wordpress' admin page at the subdirectory, it redirects me to the root wordpress' 404 page "Oops! That page can’t be found."

How can I achieve to have 2 wordpress install and one of them is at the subdirectory of the other?

Many thanks for your help!

To solve this, you need to edit the .htaccess file in your subdirectory WordPress install.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /folder/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /folder/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
  
# END WordPress

Additional information, here is my htaccess:

<Directory "/root_directory/">
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
</Directory>

<Directory "/root_directory/folder/">
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /folder/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /folder/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
</Directory>
