Image upload issue

For the record the solution to my problem was that Mod_rewrite was not initiated in my Apache site config file correctly.

I needed to change
AllowOverride None

To
AllowOverride All

As soon as I did that and reloaded Apache, bang! Images now work.

ah-hah! the changing the #uploaded files portion of the .htaccess worked for me

thanks!

This is an installation I automatically upgraded from WPMU 2.92. I followed the directions when upgrading, and the images and galleries disappeared, showing broken image boxes.

the instruction to delete the blogs.php file *and* update the rewrite rules? ??

They should have been in a different order.

Well, I give up.

Hey Chris,

Don’t give up yet:

Changing the #uploaded files portion worked for me, but notice that the .htaccess file has permission and ownership restrictions. I used Cpanel’s file manager and I thought the file had been changed, but kept getting the same error. On a second look, I realized the content hadn’t been modified. You may want to check that again…

Cheers!

Sorry to hear that Chris. Running a network does require more technical knowledge and certainly isn’t for everyone.

Hi,
I really want to fix this issue with my site as well.
I am really confused. I’ve spend 2 hours trying to figure this out.
this is my .htaccess

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]

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]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

What code do I need to add in there so that I can upload images to my blog using the Media Uploading function?

should I be looking in the config file instead?

Change this line

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

just like it said in the upograde instructions.

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-filess.php?file=$2 [L]

Hi Andrea,
I just did that right now and I am still not seeing the images. I read the read me file that came with the upload. Would you happen to have a link to the upgrade instructions?
Thanks so much

Hi Andrea,
Found the file in the DOCS section. Thank you so much for the code. That fixed it. It works with the subdirectories.
But since I started to screw around with editing the main site option, so that’ll be fun to figure out. But again, thank you.

Chris – I had a similar problem and fixed it by cleaning the output – see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/new-30-install-images-not-working-in-subsites/page/2?replies=60#post-1662597

Just check that the path specified in your dashboard Settings -> Media -> ‘Store uploads in this folder’ is the correct folder path on your server.
I had a legacy path in their from a backup and it was pointing in the wrong place. It should be pointing to your_wordpress_install_directory/wp-content/uploads/

I’m not sure it will fix your problem but you should rule it out during troubleshooting.

anyone fix this problem with uploading files into blogs? I have the same problem.
blogs.dir – exist
images are on the server when i look via ftp
no images in media and page

this is my image with good path
https://www.pbon.pl/wp/wp-content/blogs.dir/7/files/2010/11/wwwsolutions_2.jpg

this is from dashboard
https://www.pbon.pl/wp/abcimmobilien/files/2010/11/IMG_5526-Panorama.jpg

where is part of the path ?
abcimmobilien is wp-content/blogs.dir/7 ? If yes there is a problem with .htaccess?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/
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]

i discovered one thing

i have another wpmu on the same server but not in subfolder and it works.

Broken WPMU is on the https://www.xxx.xx/wp/

Is this problem?
