WordPress multisite and YunoHost driving me mad with errors

@selfhosted

Hi, I'm going on with these issues for long.
I've got a Hostinger vps, Kvm2 offer. Debian12, YunoHost 12.39, latest WordPress 6.9 build.

I installed it in a subdomain stage.domain.tld, as I don't want to go into production yet.
The purpose of multisite is having Italian, and English.
I'd like to have it.domain.tld and en.domain.tld as sites, but yunohost configures it with stage.domain.tld/wp as main, and /wp/english as secondary site.

But the big issue is that WordPress when going to the /wp/english/wp-login.php to log into the English site's admin page, it returns a "too_many_redirects" error.

I even have tried to uninstall all the plugin YunoHost installs by default, and giving "visitors" permission to the login and admin.
But nothing changes.

Any suggestion, please?
With YunoHost or without, at this point (never installed a WordPress without YunoHost's support yet, on a vps).

Any experiences with yunohost and multisite here around? I found some topics in the yunohost forum but they're very, very old (and in French, a language I don't know so well).

I could even install 2 wp instances in both subdomains, italian.domain.tld and english.domain.tld but then it would be very very complex for the designer I hired for the theme as they would perform double effort.

And yes I won't consider a multilingual plugin solution as plugins have accessibility issues (I am a person with disability) and I prefer to use full site editing only.
I have a solution on my production site but it's not long-term sustainable. Just change a detail and everything collapses...
Please let me know about multisite. thx.

@cptbichez I'll try this - although I have no idea on which log to search for.

That's something i can help you for! When asked for logs on yunohost forum, pick the log of the operation you were doing, if its "update/delete/install" pick the one from Yunohost's Logs (in web interface its located in Tools, then Logs) and you should have a button called "copy with yunopaste", it gives an URL and just link that in your post. Since its something quite specific you can also copy paste some snippets from WordPress logs and its supposed to be in Tools / Services / Wordpress i guess. (i dont use that, but its where all app services are)

Dont worry about what you should search for, even if usually its all about "warnings" and "error", just give all info you have, It's all fine. hope that help a bit.

@cptbichez If it deals with a log, it's not on install but the error appears when logging into admin on the secondary site

if its purly visual dont hesitate to screen that and include it your post there, if you dont see anything wrong on Tools/Services/WordPress or Tools/Logs
