.htaccess for wordpress inside another wordpress install

It was a server missconfiguration in httpd.conf: 

<Directory />
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

had to be changed in AllowOverride All. I should have realized this sooner, but it eluded me since I thought the override was working on the main installation, but it wasn’t. I didn’t notice it, because it was a one-page website. Once I turned AllowOverride on, they both started working.

First impulse was to delete the question, but than I thought it might help other people pulling their hair out, like I was.

Again, thank you for your time to everyone who read this.
