I have about 12-13 sites on the same mult-site install. 8 of them have their own domain like eastgrsports.com, fhnsports.com, etc.

The sites that are having the problems are the sites that are just the standard subfolder sites.

mainsite.com/site1

mainsite.com/site2

etc.

I didn’t activate as a network plugin. I just wonder what I’m missing ??

So I put an updates folder in wp-content, so wp-content/updates, cleared all the cache again, set write permissions to the updates folder and still the same issue, unfortunately ??

Well, here’s something interesting, I DON’T see an updates folder in my wp-content/ folder.

I am looking at my php.info page,

says that I’m on version PHP Version 5.2.14

Would this page be useful to finding a clue?

Gotcha, no php/OS updates that I’m aware of, I’m on a grid on Media Temple.

This is the first time I have had issues with the updating of plugins since I have been with them.

If I find out there has been a PHP upgrade, etc, what should my next course of action be, if there is one?

Thanks!

Would that be the wp-content/plugins folder?

Thanks!

Lol, is there a field to enter in the main blog number?

Ok, so I’m going to sound like a big dummy here …

What is IIRC? I didn’t change the blog number as stated I had to above, I just changed the site name to the new domain name in wp-config.php but now I am getting unknown logout/in key, which I’m guessing is because I didn’t IIRC?

Thanks!

Cool, yup, just went into wp-config and changed the domain name and we were good to go!

Resolved! I actually didn’t have

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

pasted in the new .htaccess file.

After two days, our multi-site is moved to a new host and back to normal, thank goodness ??

It just seems like since I moved everything over like for like, they should be like for like over to the new host. The thing that I’m worried about is that something is corrupted and with so many variables, it’s scary ??

This is what was in my old htaccess file

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.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>

I added this to the new htaccess file but it didn’t seem to do the trick.

lol, great analogy!

Well, we were planning to upgrade to VPS within the same host this November but that might be moved up.

For those that have had to do this, should it be a pretty smooth transition from Shared to VPS within the same host or am I looking at a borderline nightmare?

We have about 10 mapped domains to go along with our multisite. It wouldn’t be so bad but we have schools using the subsites for their athletic portals and we cannot afford to have extended downtime for them. Things are moving faster than we expected but I’m fully prepared to move to VPS as soon as I can. Just wondering if we are looking at a lot of downtime (a day or 2) while the migration takes place.

I’ll feel a lot better when we migrate though!

Good advice, I will put a ticket into the host for it. Scary stuff, hope it was more technical error than an ‘intrusion’!
