Brand new WP Multisite, Images not loading.

After not being able to get much success with fixing a WordPress Multisite we had copied over from one server to the new one, I decided to start from scratch and try again. Same problem.

I’ve set up a brand new WordPress install at http://scar-wp.com.au – this site works fine, images load no problems.

I enabled Network, and even with a basic additional site on scar-wp.com.au/imagetest – I can’t load Images or Media.

When I try to add Media to the /imagetest site, I get the dreaded Blue Question Mark.

Note, so far I haven’t even tried to take it further and add the Domain Mapping, this is just a raw basic MultiSite – no extra plugins or themes etc.

My .htaccess file is:

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

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Any help appreciated.
