Themes Applied No Images appear for Multisite sub-directorys sites

What’s in your .htaccess file?

The default settings from the Multisite install network page.

I am using the following configuration:

mysql 5.5
PHP 5.3.6
Windows Server 2003
IIS 6.0
Ionic’s Isapi Rewrite Filter (IIRF) 2.1 (it uses an ini file with the setting below in stead of the htaccess. I do have the htaccess file configured with the below as well though.

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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

If you’re on IIS6 with the ini file, then that’s probably what’s up here.

I don’t know if this will help you, but this fellow claims to have solved it.

It looks like a few people have had problems with IIRF too. And sadly, it’s not my forte ?? I’m a *nix head.

I have been testing the following: the Helicon Isapi RW (Trial 30day Pay version), Helicon Free version and IIRF, and each one gives me the exact same issue. Each one brings up the site and has the words only, but each one does not apply the theme.

I did notice the URL is created with the sequence https://dev.sccenespanol.com/site1

Does show a page not found with the webpage wording, if you use this link to see the results.

It seems this is the root problem and does not want to load using IIS 6.0 properly.

Yeah, if it was unix I’d say it’s not reading your .htaccess correctly. That it’s IIS 6 means that it’s not reading the config/ini right, but I haven’t a clue where it goes or what it is ?? I’m tagging this IIS so hopefully someone who’s good at that sees this.

I finally solved the problem. This file configuration now works with IIRF.
