ms-files.php not actually serving images?

    We are in the process of migrating an existing WP 3.01 multisite install with sub-domains to a new server environment.

    The issue I am having is that ms-files.php doesn’t seem able to fully serve an image.

    Some scenarios:

    1) If I access the image directly, it works fine. e.g. http://domain/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2010/11/image.jpg

    Here are the response headers I receive for this URL:

    Date: Sat, 20 Nov 2010 00:44:25 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)
Last-Modified: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 22:13:37 GMT
Etag: "6bd5e-1cde0-4956f37ce0640"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 118240
Content-Type: image/jpeg

200 OK

    2) If I try to use the URL as the WP media library has it, I get a missing image icon/result in my web browser. e.g. http://domain/files/2010/11/image.jpg

    Here are the response headers I receive for this URL:

    Date: Sat, 20 Nov 2010 00:42:24 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.6

    Did you migrate over the .htaccess file? It’s hidden so it often gets missed in a transfer.

    And this is what controls the image rewriting.

    Hi Andrea,

    It’s most definitely moved over. I tried to do some research about this, and have thrown a few hours at it already. I’ve seen examples of others with similar problems, but their solutions have not worked so far.

    Also normal ‘pretty’ permalinks work for posts and pages. It seems most also had the issue of having broken permalinks, but not me.

    Here is my .htaccess file:

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

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

    So you have a subdomain install?

    Any ideas?

    Debugging ms-files.php, it appears it is successfully reaching the end where it actually sends the file via readfile ($file), but the browser never seems to actually receive anything.

    PHP error logs are empty, as well

    Are you using any caching software? Like w3tc or wpsc?

    wow… it’s fixed, and I feel like an idiot.

    I had extra return lines in wp-config.php after the final ?>

    They were somehow inserted during the transferring of files between servers.
