Server crashed trying to restore wordpress multisite, images are not found pls help

1 Views

I had an issue with a server that was serious enough to have to take it completely offline and then rebuild the os.

I have gotten to the point where the new server is up and running. I have managed to get all the wordpress files and database files transfered over to the new server.

The Problem

For some reason wordpress is not finding any of the images stored in the wp-content/blogs.dir/… folder.

One thing I did notice is that the htaccess file was not copied over, so my best guess is because wordpress reroutes via /folders/ etc that this may be the problem.

I did take the distrubtion .htaccess file that I was able to find and added that into the site, but it is not working.

Is htaccess the problem?

If so how do I regenerate one that will work for the multisite subdomain setup?

thanks

  1. Here is the default .htaccess generated by WordPress for Subdomain Multisite setup:

    # BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

    Let me know If this one doesn’t work for you.
