File Uploading problem with WordPress 3.1 MU

I can surf to through a browser if I go directly to the blogs.dir/#/files/date/-path and not to the /files/ path.

That generally means your httpd.conf isn’t set up right.

What do you have set for AllowOverride ?

It’s set to none

Tried changing the AllowOverride-option and it generated 500 Internal Server Errors

Oh and this is only a problem for all the other sites. The main/primary site works fine.

AllowOverride FileInfo Options

When I do that all I get is internal server error =(
This is how it looks in my httpd.conf at the moment:

<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride FileInfo Options

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>

then change options to All.

That resultated in yet another Internal Server Error =/

Then talk to your host.

Just to make sure … try this:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

and

AllowOverride All

Andrea… thanks… however that would be me… sitting on my home computer..

Ipstenu… thanks but that just resulted in an Internal Server Error
[Mon Feb 28 21:03:20 2011] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/naprapaterna/.htaccess: Invalid command ‘RewriteEngine’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
And the .htaccess file you see above… =/

Guess I’ll have to bring the stuff live on the actual hosting-machine online and hope they got a better idea on how to set things up…

Last guess is this (I hate Windows and Apache… Grrr).

<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options All

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride All

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>

Thanks… yeah windows seems to be a bad idea but since I’m doing everything on a single machine and I’m a gamer at heart Windows is the only real system I can run…

The guess however ended me with a 500 internal server error… I’m guessing the “safety” that’s built into win 7 really fucks everything up… =/

Going to take down current sites and go live blindly ^^

I was facing the same issue and then figured out that the problem was due to a plugin called wp-smushit and after deactivating that uploading starts working as normal

Ok thanks but I was only running MU Domain Mapping and SEO all in one as plugins.

Everything I’ve tested leads me to believe that windows 7 is a retarded system that has serious issues with letting people having permissions to things. The files I uploaded wasn’t even readable by the administrator of windows and I had to give admin password every time I wanted to delete the files. So basicly just make sure you’re not running windows vista or 7 for this since those OSs got permission issues and you need to be freaking rocket scientist to solve them =/

All my problems vanished when I took the site live on the clients host who runs a linux/unix-machine with everything configured correctly.
