 * I have seen this being a common occurence but havent seen the exact amswer. My
   issue is that when I create a site on my mu in subdirectory images don’t appear.
   i know the issue i don’t know how to fix it. my main site is mydomain.com and
   images work great but when i create a sub site mydomain.com/newsite the images
   try to reroute to each subdirectory which the images arent clearly there. so 
   it looks like this
 * mydomain.com/images
 * when i go to subdirectory the images think they should be at
 * mydomain.com/newsite/images
 * clearly not there it doesn’t exist. how do i fix this?

 * They should be pointing to mydomain.com/site/files/ not images.
 * Did you change them?

 * I don’t think i did, what happens is for some reason the whole site tries to 
   access wp-admin from the actual sub directory. even if they tried to access their
   admin panel it wont because the admin panel is not in their subdirectory when
   they are logged in. unless i have my .htaccess file setup wront this is what 
   it lookes like
 *     ```
       # 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
       ```

 * The … what now?
 * You make a subdir blog domain.com/sitename
 * You go to domain.com/sitename/wp-admin to access the dash
 * That’s how it’s supposed to work.

 * There isn’t an index.html file.
 * /sitename/ isn’t a real folder (and if you made one, delete it), it’s virtual.
 * Images not popping up, however, suggests a htaccess issue. What’s in yours?

 * That’s the one for SubDOMAINS. Which you are not using if your site is domain.
   com/subsite.
 * You want the subfolder one from here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite](http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite)
