Do you mean map the subdomains so subsite.domain2.com maps to subsite.domain1.com?

Thanks for the suggestion.

@xbloggerx & Andrew_r: That’s how my htaccess reads from the upgrade, but I went ahead and replaced in case I am not seeing straight.

In multi-site mode, what should the permissions be set for blogs.dir content? I changed my permissions back to 775 and so far, so good.

Is this article in the codex the best reference for assigning permissions for the WP directory/file structure?

thanks for the all the contributions — it’s a good forum with great moderation.

@person: this was not an issue prior to upgrade to 3.0, and the site was fully functional up until I was trouble-shooting some plugin installs with ownership/permission tweeks (as far as I know).

The upload seems to be working again, but I went ahead and re-posted as a separate thread. It’s hard to imagine leaving permissions set to 777.

Thanks for the responses.

I’ve been paranoid about permissions = 777, but I’ll give it a try. I’ll re-post as a separate thread if necessary. thanks for the response!

Hello. I was about to post a similar problem, so I’ll add it to this thread. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to connect the dots from the previous posts.

I’m running WP 3.0 upgraded from the most recent release of WP MU (subdomains). I have Buddypress installed, and I’ve been prepping a blog prototype here.

Just recently, I’ve encountered problems uploading media. I have been active in the command-line editing to change permissions and ownership of uploaded plugin zip files in trouble-shooting mode and I’m sure I did a chown -R to my user:group for /wp-content/. I ran across an old blog post on the need to have the /wp-content/blogs.dir directory owned by ‘nobody’ instead of the admin user, which I have changed as a fix. I’ve also changed permissions from 755 to 775. I still seem to have a permissions/ownership issue: The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/manifold/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2010/07

I’m concerned I have an htaccess issue. My uploaded filed script is:
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

The whole permissions/ownership thing is the bain of my WordPress existence. Thanks for any assistance forthcoming!
