   Very new to this please bear with me! thanks! I am running 3.1.2 multisite on hostgator. My uploads to my main site are fine they go to
   mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/image.jpg

   My uploads to my subdomains are not working! They are showing the file going to:
   sub1.mysite.com/files/2011/06/image.jpg
   as the link url. But the file is not there. And if I posted the pic in a page there is just an x.

   Here is one of the subdomains where this is happpening.
   http://mysite.bestnewbornphotographers.org/

   So my amature eyes see that the folder is /files/2011/06/ - is it suppose to be in the blogs.dir folder something like this:
   wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files

   Below is the rewrite code in htaccess.

   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]

   ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY appreciated! thanks in advance.
   Bill

   Your .htaccess looks correct for subdomains. I would recommend you ask Hostgator to make sure Apache is reading the file. And, yes, the URL to your subdomain images *should* be /files/2011/06/image.jpg; the .hataccess file hides the wp-content/blogs.dir part on purpose.

   Thank you i will try that. Is that something specifc I should ask them for when creating a ticket other than letting them know whats happening?

   Thanks again.

   You can link them to this forum post and they should understand. Essentially, they need to look at the Apache configuration to make sure it is reading and processing the .htaccess file.

   Thought i would post what i found. After hours of looking it had to do with htacces needing an extra line of code:

   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?blogN/files/(.+) wp-content/blogs.dir/N/files/$2 [L]

   Hope this helps others!!

   FYI, that SHOULD be handled by

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

   That it's NOT is indicative of something being wrong on your server. Which is why Tim said you need to talk to your host.
