Media Library and pics in WPMU doesn't work

bh_WP_fan That’s not actually correct.

When you make a normal Single Site WP, the images are loaded in wp-content/uploads.

When you turn it into MULTI site, /files/ gets used and TRANSLATED by the .htaccess to wherever your SITE OPTIONS says the files are located.

(that would be this bit

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

)

For most sites it’s going to be /blogs.dir/#/files/blahblah — But your first site keeps it in /wp-content/uploads.

@bh_wp_fan
You’ve seen this post propably, when I was trying to do something, thats why You could get ‘file not found’ message. You can check this now https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/jagoda/files/2011/02/corel.jpg
I’m getting something like ’empty image’ in different browsers.

@ipstenu

On my main page, directory with media is exactly this and images are loading perfectly ok. The same is with all other EXISTING directories-when I put link to image in other directory, image loads.

Problems are with images from media (blogs.dir/#/files)

This rule from .htaccess points to ms-files.php, am I right? So, maybe in this php there is some bug? I don’t now php, almost at all.

No, it’s not in the php. It’s htaccess pure & simple.

make sure that rule points to wp-INCLUDES/ms-files.php

when I see it, it just shows the filename in the browser, which is a server issue plain & simple. we’ve gone over it a dozen times in the forums.

i solved it only configuring right permissions ??

This is my htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
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]

It was generated by wordpress install

@ skydivesardegna
how? like this way directories to 755, files to 644?

yes

Thanks for the correction, Ipstenu. You are absolutely correct. I was aware of that but somehow spaced, halfway through writing my comment, that we were working with multi site.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but makapu’s .htaccess looks correct to me. Maybe this one just needs some permission changes like skydivesardegna mentioned.

Yeah the .htaccess looks fine.

https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/jagoda/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=2011/02/corel.jpg is also blank which is odd. That kinda implies a PHP error (blank page of death == PHP 90% of the time).

Try the permissions suggestion, though, for sure.

I tried this and other chmod when I’ve read bh_WP_fan post. Nothing changes.
Observation: opening image browser does downloads as many bytes as image size, but doesn’t show image.
Can it be something with servers MIME types settings? I’m so stupid…

another: I opened link https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/sluzew/files/2011/02/corel1.jpg saved image to disk. Trying open file I’m getting ‘invalid format or not supported’. Any suggestions?

Sorry about my grumble.
MIME doesn’t play a role, cause images from server are displayed properly. All images from virtual directory blog/files/… are wrong. This applies to images loaded by wp to media library and via ftp to all folders: domain/blog/files/2011/02/image domain/blog/files/2011/image, domain/blog/files/image

but

when I point to domain/wp-content/blogs.dir/blog#/files/2011/02/image I’m getting “Forbidden, You don’t have permission to access #file

when I point to domain/wp-content/blogs.dir/blog#/files/2011/image,
domain/wp-content/blogs.dir/blog#/files/image
or domain/wp-content/blogs.dir/blog#/image

I can see it…
so, could it be something with .htaccess? Ipstenu, anyone?

You can see it Yourself in my sites:
https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/sluzew/files/2011/02/corel.jpg and https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/2011/02/corel.jpg

https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/sluzew/files/2011/corel.jpg and https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/2011/corel.jpg

The same is with ALL other SUB-PAGES

when I point to domain/wp-content/blogs.dir/blog#/files/2011/02/image I’m getting “Forbidden, You don’t have permission to access #file

now we’re getting somewhere. ??

looks probably like the *owner* of the file is preventing it from being read. More so than the permissions on the file. Tho you could check that too.

Oooh. Check if nobody:nobody owns the file! It could be a PHP settings gaff! I did that once.

https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/2011/02/corel.jpg
set to directory to 754 and image loads! (it was 755 and I tried also others chmod)

but still https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/sluzew/files/2011/02/corel.jpg don’t show image properly.

removing htaccess cause path domain/blog/files/image not to work (‘Not found’), so in this point htaccess is working ok.

Do You Andrea, or someone, tried to save this file: https://nie-opozniaj-piesni.net/sluzew/files/2011/02/corel.jpg
to disk and opened it? I’m getting ‘unknown file format’ error.

!The same file downloaded through this two links from beginning give two different files when saved to a disk. Isn’t it strange?
