MU – Images not appearing

Check your .htaccess. It should be this:

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]

Fixed the .htaccess to be as you posted. Still no luck.

It shows a blank box where the pic should be and if you click the link, it shows the URL of the pic, but not the pic

Well it’s not a 404 error (file not found) so I’m wondering if the image is corrupted. Try uploading another image you know is good? (i.e. one you’ve uploaded elsewhere before).

I uploaded the same image on the main blog https://thevegastourist.net
as I did to https://www.thevegastourist.net/reviews/

On the main blog, the pic shows up just fine.
On the second blog I get the blank box.

You click the photo and on the main you get the pic.
Click on the image on the second blog and you get a bad URL to the photo
https://www.thevegastourist.net/reviews/files/2010/05/stevetrace.jpg

The upload path is wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files
and the images are there.

so the image is at
https://www.thevegastourist.net/reviews/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/05/stevetrace.jpg

But the blog thinks its
https://www.thevegastourist.net/reviews/files/2010/05/stevetrace.jpg

So where do I fix the code showing where the image really is??

Using the same image for testing purposes.

On the main blog, the image shows perfect.

On this blog
https://www.thevegastourist.net/

Posted the same image on a second blog
https://www.thevegastourist.net/reviews/

I get a blank box.
The post shows the image location as
https://www.thevegastourist.net/reviews/files/2010/05/stevetrace.jpg

When it really is at
https://www.thevegastourist.net/reviews/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/05/stevetrace.jpg

So how do I change it to display the right location of the image?? What did I miss on the install??

Well .. see that’s actually correct.

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

Says ‘Any time someone asks for a file from ‘<whatever>/files/’, use the ms-files.php page to parse what that is and send back the image.’

What version of 3.0 are you using? Beta or a nightly build?

Thank you for the help.
MU will be a learning curve….

“You are using a development version (3.0-beta2-14896).”

I am in Beta with the Beta Tester Update plugin set to “point release Nightlies”

When you go into the blog on the media browser (admin side), do the images show correctly?

I wonder if it’s related to this: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/13483

No they do not show correctly. I get a number.

I will try to follow that ticket. It sounded similar to my problem until they got off on too much coding talk and I am not as proficient in PHP as I would like to be.

No they do not show correctly. I get a number.

Okay, this is VERY much not a htaccess issue then ?? Good! We’re on a track!

Go into your database and in the table for the subblog (which will be wp_#_options, and # is whatever blog number this is), look for fileupload_url.

If it’s missing, go ahead and add it in as https://www.thevegastourist.net/(blogname)/files (no trailing slash).

I don’t have those on blogs I IMPORTED, but I do on both blogs created directly IN WordPress MultiSite. Now the trac ticket seems to imply that those values aren’t needed anymore (and in fact aren’t used). Instead, WP should be using upload_path but I wonder if that’s actually not true, which is why I’m suggesting added this ??

It’s already there as you posted..

I tried to change it to what the real URL of the images are at. Changed fileupload_url to https://www.thevegastourist.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/ and it still is not working right.

However… If I place the image in my post and manually change https://www.thevegastourist.net/reviews/files to https://www.thevegastourist.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files
it works fine.

But that would be a pain if I have to do that all the time to each image I post.

This is not a ‘fix’ but it’ll get you through the day.

Add this to your .htaccess file, ABOVE the WordPress rules

RewriteRule ^reviews/files/(.*)$ https://www.thevegastourist.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/$1 [L,R=301]

vegastourist:

What are the values for fileupload_url and upload_path in the options table for that one particular site.

You’re right, its not a fix, but makes the posting work and Getting me thru the day is what I need right now.

It works, image posting…

Hoping this glitch will be fixed when I update with the final initial release of the real 3.0 sometime later this year….

upload_ path is wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files

fileupload_url is https://www.thevegastourist.net/wp-content/blogs.di&#8230;

Am I the only one having this problem??

If so, do I need to do a new install??

The “fix” worked for one site, but not the others.
Meaning I have to do all the changes and coding above to each site??

Again, I thank everyone for their help. Every time I think I have a grip on WP and PHP, they throw a curve ball!!

But this one is a doozy
