 * Hi.. I am having problem loading the images..
 * PLEASE HELP…
 * My problem started when we deployed a staging site within the same hosting server..
 * The following URL image is one of the images that is not loading properly..
 * `http://www.onlinewellnesscommunity.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/
   3/82add6146c0f6ae8b55a0b26f8fe0b8b-bpthumb.jpg`
 * `http://www.onlinewellnesscommunity.org/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/3/82add6146c0f6ae8b55a0b26f8fe0b8b-
   bpthumb.jpg`
 * Both URLs are not working.. I also tried to check .htaccess files..
 * >  DirectoryIndex index.php
   >  RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
   > # uploaded files
   >  #RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L] #RewriteCond %{
   > REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.* #RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/
   > blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
   > # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
   >  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin
   > $ #RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

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

   > 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

 * Did you upgrade to 3.0 from wpmu? Because you need to change this line.

 * That line is commented out and, thus, won’t be called. But.
 * Even removing your cruft, your .htaccess is this:
 *     ```
       DirectoryIndex index.php
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
   
       #FIXED: BEGIN WordPress
       RedirectMatch 301 /wp-content/uploads/(.*)$ http://www.onlinewellnesscommunity.org/files/$1
   
       #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
   
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       <Files async-upload.php>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </Files>
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Which doesn’t look right.
 * Go to [http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite)
 * Pick the RIGHT .htaccess for your setup and try that in place of the WP stuff
   you have in there now. It’s different for subdomains as subfolders.
