Person … Yeah, and if your host disables mod-rewrite, none of that code will work anyway, and in fact, having it will cause wackiness in your site.
The above lines only apply if you are upgrading from WPMU 2.9.x to WP 3.0. 😉
Just extra clarification.
Good catch person, I skimmed it earlier.

Hello. I was about to post a similar problem, so I’ll add it to this thread. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to connect the dots from the previous posts.
I’m running WP 3.0 upgraded from the most recent release of WP MU (subdomains). I have Buddypress installed, and I’ve been prepping a blog prototype here.
Just recently, I’ve encountered problems uploading media. I have been active in the command-line editing to change permissions and ownership of uploaded plugin zip files in trouble-shooting mode and I’m sure I did a chown -R to my user:group for /wp-content/. I ran across an old blog post on the need to have the /wp-content/blogs.dir directory owned by ‘nobody’ instead of the admin user, which I have changed as a fix. I’ve also changed permissions from 755 to 775. I still seem to have a permissions/ownership issue: The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/manifold/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/07
I’m concerned I have an htaccess issue. My uploaded filed script is:
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
The whole permissions/ownership thing is the bain of my WordPress existence. Thanks for any assistance forthcoming!
edava – Please make a new topic for your issue. Also, if it’s not MultiSite or WPMU, I would suggest posting in http://wordpress.org/support/forum/3
Schaeffer -This too should probably be a separate topic 🙂 You shouldn’t need to have the wp-content/blogs.dir folder owned by nobody, your normal account should be just fine for this. Try putting the permissions to 777 for all folders in blogs.dir.
(Off topic: Person – I think I came off as bitchy. Please accept my apology. I was being a brat with no excuse.)
I’ve been paranoid about permissions = 777, but I’ll give it a try. I’ll re-post as a separate thread if necessary. thanks for the response!
@schaeffer, was the problem occuring previously when you were using WPMU (i.e. before you upgraded)?
(@ipstenu, nah not at all, your point was very well valid. 🙂 I’m surprised it didn’t occur to me, must be the lack of sleep ><)
@person: this was not an issue prior to upgrade to 3.0, and the site was fully functional up until I was trouble-shooting some plugin installs with ownership/permission tweeks (as far as I know).
The upload seems to be working again, but I went ahead and re-posted as a separate thread. It’s hard to imagine leaving permissions set to 777.
Thanks for the responses.
This is the fix problem
modify the .htaccess…
replace #upload by this
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
thank you very much schaeffer 🙂
@xblogger yes that exact message is displayed for you when you upgrade from MU to WP 3.0 and is also outlined in my post on upgrading:
http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/upgrading-from-wpmu-to-wp-3-0/
@xbloggerx & Andrew_r: That’s how my htaccess reads from the upgrade, but I went ahead and replaced in case I am not seeing straight.
In multi-site mode, what should the permissions be set for blogs.dir content? I changed my permissions back to 775 and so far, so good.
Is this article in the codex the best reference for assigning permissions for the WP directory/file structure?
thanks for the all the contributions — it’s a good forum with great moderation.
