WordPress MU

i have a problem where if I upload an image in a post, it does not display correctly.

The image is actually at:

http://domain.com/wp-inst/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2006/05/image.gif

But the image on the page keeps pointing to

http://domain.com/files/2006/05/image.gif

Ideas?

Nevermind, I solved it with adjusting the .htaccess in the wp-inst directory with this:

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]*)/?files/(.*) /wp-inst/wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

There's a similar line in the current .htaccess if you look closely enough, just adjust the line with the above content.

i'm using a non-vhost version, and a RewriteRule doesn't help.

For a non vhost installation one need to change the path
to access an uploaded image from
http://www.domain.com/path/blogname/files/year/month/filename
to
http://www.domain.com/path/wp-inst/wp-content/blogs.dir/blogid/files/year/month/filename

I edited the wp-inst/wp-includes/functions-post.php, about line 936 and changed


$url = trailingslashit($siteurl) . UPLOADS;

to

// generate url depending on vhost or not-vhost installtion
if( defined( "VHOST" ) && constant( "VHOST" ) == 'yes' )
$url = trailingslashit($siteurl) . UPLOADS;
else {
global $wpdb, $blog_id;
$domain = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT domain FROM $wpdb->blogs WHERE blog_id = 1"); // get the domain of the main blog / TODO: do this nicer
$path = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT path FROM $wpdb->blogs WHERE blog_id = 1"); // get the path of the main blog / TODO: do this nicer
$url = 'http://' . $domain . $path . 'wp-inst/wp-content/blogs.dir/' . $blog_id . '/' . UPLOADS;
}


There might be a bettter way!
Especially i'm not sure if one can rely in the fact that the blog with blog_id==1 actually IS the main blog.

Has anyone an idea on how to make this better?
Can i rely on that blog_id==1 trick?

has anybody running a non-vhost installation get emdee90's solution (see above) work?
emdee90, are you running a vhost install?

I was running a non-vhost install. There's too much of the code (like most of the admin menus) that's designed just for the vhost version. I've got to admit that I finally gave up on it.

you lucky guy! i need the non-vhost install. I'm fixing step by step what i need ;-(

I try to keep record of all those changes, so i might be able to list all fixes to get the non-vhost install working better..

Make sure you keep a record of them as you'l need to do them all again after an upgrade.

Maybe Donncha will grab your notes. *HINT!* :)

Hello emdee90,

this is my .htaccess code

RewriteEngine On
<Files wp-content/blogs>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
</IfModule>

Where should i put your code?
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]*)/?files/(.*) /wp-inst/wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

I have tried above below but it doesn't work. please help me on this.
