I've got a new MU installation installed in the root ( public_html ) on my server. Also in the root is a folder called "files" ... this folder has all sorts of goodies that previously lived in this same place in the root beside a single WP install.
Since I have installed mu the files in the "files" folder all return a 404 error if I navigate to them... until I remove my .htaccess file, that is....
I'm not exactly sure how to read what is causing the issue in my .htaccess, so I've posted it below... any feedback is appreciated..... my ultimate goal is to not have to rename the "files" folder because this would require a ton of redirects to be made...
Any feedback appreciated! I tried removing </Files> to no avail...
