 * This happens for all images; it is not an issue of image corruption. I’m looking
   for help with how to troubleshoot the server or wordpress configuration.

 * That’s the image, which is how I know there’s no problems with the image; it 
   works fine when I host it on a different site.

   plugin.

 * Andrea. Edge case indeed. 🙂
 * I inherited this installation — the person who installed it is no longer with
   the company, so I’m a bit at sea. I’ve only ever dealt with a “normal” installations
   before and everything usually just works. This is also my first time using the
   multisite feature, so a bit of a learning curve yet to climb.
 * I’ve seen other references to “debianized” wordpress sprinkled here and there
   throughout the forums, but I can’t find the README referred to anywhere on my
   server or the web.
 * At this point I will try updating the db. If that fails, I will try re-installing
   WP manually and using the import feature.
 * One last question: My company’s current site responds to “companyname.com” and“
   companynamemisspelled.com” will the latter stop working once I point dns to the
   wordpress instance?
 * Thanks again!

 * sorry, should have been more specific.
 * the wp install I inherited is a little funky. it replaces the wp-config.php with
   a new file.
 * Specifically, wp-config.php instead of having the normal contents contains this:
 *     ```
       /** WordPress's Debianised default master config file
       Please do NOT edit and read about how the configuration works in the README.Debian
       **/
   
           #http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=435289
           #http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=440572 (underscores, not dashes)
           $debian_server = preg_replace('/:.*/', "", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
           $debian_server = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9.\-]/", "", $debian_server);
           $debian_file = '/etc/wordpress/config-'.strtolower($debian_server).'.php';
   
           if (!file_exists($debian_file)) {
               header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
         echo "<b>$debian_file</b> could not be found. The file is either not readable by this process or does not exist. <br>
           Please check if <b>$debian_file</b> exists and contains the right password/username.";
               exit(1);
           }
   
           require_once($debian_file);
       ```
   
 * With the acutaly wp-config code in a file named config-mydomaingoeshere.php
 * Sadly, copying that file to config-mynewdomaingoeshere.php results in an “Error
   establishing database connection” message – presumably this is because I need
   to do search and replace on my db.
 * Is there just an easy way to have wp respond to both _myIP_ and _mynewdomain_?
 * Thanks for all of your help … it can be a bit challenging to understand which
   bits of the documentation apply to what situations.

 * Andrea, I mention the OS because with the debian install of wordpress I don’t
   have a wp-config.php, per se.

 * Tim —
 * _On the Settings->General screen in a single site installation of WordPress, 
   there are two fields named “WordPress address (URL)” and “Site address (URL)”._
 * Those directions seem to be for a single site, have you used them successfully
   for multisite? Which of the four approaches documented would you recommend for
   debian install of a network with subdirectories?
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for the response… I found the errant link category that was causing my
   troubles.
 * LOVE the plugin, by the way!
