   I tried posting at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-are-not-uploading-into-correct-file?replies=12 a couple weeks ago and have gotten no repsonse from anyone so I'm trying a new thread.

   I've tried the "3 step" method shown at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-are-not-uploading-into-correct-file?replies=12 and my results are:

   EXAMPLE - http://cooking.thefrazzledmama.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/11/files/2010/08/ezmuffins11.jpg
   LOADS FINE - http://tbfaa.devsite103.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/06/meeting.jpg

   EXAMPLE - http://cooking.thefrazzledmama.com/files/2010/08/ezmuffins11.jpg
   NO LOAD - http://tbfaa.devsite103.com/files/2010/06/meeting.jpg

   I've tried both the existing .htaccess file (below) and the .htaccess file provided without successful loading of images.

   This is how it appears on the page when I switch to the HTML view - <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-917" title="meeting" src="http://tbfaa.devsite103.com/files/2010/06/meeting2.jpg" alt="" width="94" height="63" /> However if I try to access the image in my browser I get a Page Not Found message.

   I've checked and my browser WILL load http://tbfaa.devsite103.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/06/meeting.jpg

   http://tbfaa.devsite103.com/files/2010/06/meeting2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-917" title="meeting" src="http://tbfaa.devsite103.com/files/2010/06/meeting2.jpg" alt="" width="94" height="63" />

   Any ideas or suggestions? This stuff is way over my head so any help will be greatly appreciated.

   It's 100% to do with the ,htaccess file and mod_rewrite. They are going to the right spot, where they are supposed to on the server. the rewrite rule is either not being read correctly, isn't in there right, or mod_rewrite is failing to read the file.

   this is the rule:

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

   It has to be there. When you set up the network, the htaccess rules that are given are to *replace* the ones you had, not be added at the end of the file. Make sure you did that.

   Thank you for responding. I know nothing about this stuff, and you were working "blind". I tried and failed. Below are the before and after htaccess files. Can you take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

   BEFORE

   # BEGIN WordPress
   #uploaded files
   RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
   RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

   # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
   RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule . - [L]
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   # END WordPress

   AFTER "my interpretation of your suggestion"
   # BEGIN WordPress

   # uploaded files
   RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
   RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

   # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
   RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule . - [L]
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   # END WordPress

   Corrected .htaccess for ya!

   # BEGIN WordPress
   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).*) $2 [L]
   RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   # END WordPress

   Try that and see if it works.

   Thank you for the rapid response. Still no success.

   Interesting.

   http://devsite103.com/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=/2010/06/meeting2.jpg gives a 404 as well.

   Are you using domain redirects or just subdomains for your site?

7. Chuck
   Member
   Posted 1 year ago #

   Just sub-domains for now. I'm planning on changing to domain redirects after the site is complete and functional. Thank you so much for helping.

   I would be happy to give you access as admin if it would help you to find the problem. Email me chuck@cybersearch-us.com.

   Wouldn't help :)

   Can you check, on FTP, if the ms-files.php file exists in the wp-includes folder?

10. Chuck

    Yes, it's there. Thanks

    Okay, back to basics. Turn off your plugins! :)

    Ok. I've turned deactivated them all. No change. Tried adding a photo and while the space is there, the photo isn't.

    These are on the same server and network setup, right?

    You don't have any weird hotline protection setup, do you?

14. Chuck

    Yes, both on the same server and network. I don't know what a "hotline protection setup" is, but I don't think I have one.

    I think I am experiencing a similar problem. When I add an image to the native Gallery, it places this code in the post:

    <img src="http://mywebsite.org/files/2010/09/grand-prix-large-300x185.jpg/grand-prix-large-300x185.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="185" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-383" />

    BUT, the image is not located there. It is located at this address:

    <img src="http://mywebsite.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/09/grand-prix-large-300x185.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="185" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-383" />

    That is not a problem, that's what WordPress is supposed to do.
    It not showing is the issue - which is entirely to do with the .htaccess file and your server reading it.

    I am aware of the correction to the .htaccess from ipstenu above. Does it apply in my case as well or do I need to edit it further? Is so, what do I use?

18. Andrea_r

    Does your .htaccess look like the one Ipstenu posted?

    Edit: oh wait, is this the actual url it spits out? Or did you mistype it?

    http://mywebsite.org/files/2010/09/grand-prix-large-300x185.jpg/grand-prix-large-300x185.jpg

    with the duplicate image filename?

19. RickA99

    I think this is the relevant part:

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

    Yep, you;ve got a whole group in there. Did you upgrade from wordpressmu?

21. Ipstenu

    oddclicker -- I meant hotlink protection. Hotline protection is what I need when I get phone calls at work...

    Also, are you using a domain mapping plugin or are these separate MU installs?

22. RickA99

    Posted 1 year ago #

    This was an MU install from about a year ago. I recently got some renewed interest in it and upgraded it to 3.0.1

    I am not using a domain mapping plugin. Not sure how to answer the question about separate MU installs. I have just one with two sites.

    Oops! I cross-stitched the threads. Disregard my second paragraph. Sorry.

24. Ipstenu
    Half-Elf Support Rogue & Mod

    Okay, so this is an MU install and you ARE using a domain mapping plugin? Which one?

25. Andrea_r
    team pirate
    Posted 1 year ago #

    I think this is the relevant part:

    #uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

    In another thread, another upgraded from mu user removed the first two lines in this group and it worked fine for him.

26. RickA99

    OK, I made the changes so it looks like this:

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

    But, images are still not getting the right address.

    What about this section of .htaccess?

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule . - [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

27. Ipstenu

    RickA99 - Are you using Subdomains or subfolders? The htaccess files are different. :)

28. RickA99
    Member
    Posted 1 year ago #

    subdomains

29. Ipstenu
    Half-Elf Support Rogue & Mod
    Posted 1 year ago #

    Righto, try this 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

    Make sure you've pulled out everything else from your old wpmu htaccess. If you have other edits to the .htaccess file, you should temporarily take them out. Let's just use the default for a moment :)

    (FYI - I am a HUGE proponent of leaving in comments in your .htaccess file so you can later go 'Oh right, I added that to fix this...')

    The apparent image location looks like this:
    http://path/files/2010/09/grand-prix-large-300x185.jpg

    But the actual storage location is this:
    http://path/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/09/grand-prix-large-300x185.jpg

    And everything is now connecting up! Thanks so much.
