mediadisconnect

Nevermind, the feature started working about three hours later. Not sure why but I would have to guess it has to to with my web hosting.

I don’t believe my solution will help you. I believe the NextGen Gallery media is handled differently than the native WordPress media upload. I would start a new thread in the NextGen Gallery plugin forum (if you haven’t already done so) so that one of their experts can help you out.

This was not the case for me for the past three years and many WordPress installations. I have been able to work with media on base domains and subsites (without domain mapping) without any issues.

Respectfully, if it is a known issue one should still add to the instructions or provide a check when installing the plugin for the existence of such folder. It would have saved myself and a few other experts here and externally (who didn’t know about this issue) hours upon hours of time.

*** SOLVED *****

I had a folder off of root named /files where I stored misc files over time. As soon as I renamed the folder to something else everything magically started to work.

Thank you so much for your time and effort to help me with this problem.

Do you think it is a mod_rewrite issue or a wordpress issue?

Ok so no go but I think I have found something.

When I try to upload a file I get this in my error logs:
File does not exist: /home1/mediadi2/public_html/files/2012, referer: https://newenglandfreeradio.com/wp-admin/upload.php

When I try to view the file that I just uploaded using the File URL link I get this in my error logs:
File does not exist: /home1/mediadi2/public_html/files/2012

When I try to view the file that I just uploaded using the view link I get this in my error logs:
File does not exist: /home1/mediadi2/public_html/files/2012

It does not look like the full link is being rewritten for for some reason.

I will repaste my .htaccess file.

# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

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]

neither of those worked.

I am getting a bunch of these in my error log but I am not sure if I am generating them and not some other website on the hosting computer.

[Thu Apr 12 15:44:31 2012] [warn] RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern ‘-f’ is not supported and will be ignored.

Ok, I think we are getting a bit closer.

Bluehost.com does not allow access to the httpd.conf file AND they do not create VirtualHost entries in their httpd.conf files for their parked domains. They did say that AllowOverride is set to All on all of the domains though.

The support technician did tell me that I can accomplish what I want done in the .htaccess file without needing a Virtual Host entry but he could not tell me how to do it and forwarded me this link:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Any ideas? BTW, I truly appreciate you helping me with this.

When I enter that link the picture appears in the browser.

Unchecking 1 and 4 did not solve the problem. ??

Changing the collation to utf8_general_ci did not work.

In my cpanel I have the domains parked at Bluehost who is also my registrar. I have an A record setup that points to the IP address of my server with the IP address entered on the domain mapping configuration page.

I have domain options 1-4 enabled and 5 disabled.

I am not sure if this matters but when looking at the MySQL tables almost all of my tables use a collation of utf8_general_ci

where both the wp_domain_mapping and wp_domain_mapping_logins tables use a collation of latin1_swedish_ci

Again not sure if that really matters but I am grasping at straws.

I am sure the solution is something that has either been over looked or something I am not aware of.

It is not secretly enabled. lol
I double checked with the hosting company (Blue Host).

I had a Caching plugin installed but I removed it completely a few months back when I noticed that it wasn’t helping with my load times.

If it helps I am posting my .htaccess file. I have had it two ways but neither have worked.

I don’t want to impose but if you would like access to my hosting account and WordPress installation I would be happy to provide it.

I don’t have hotlink protection enabled.
