(Brand New VPS & Multisite) Problem with blogs.dir

    I have a brand new VPS & WordPress Multisite Installation. (Sub-Domains) As a test, I created my first site on my network. I uploaded an image to a page, and expected the file to be saved underneath the blogs.dir path.

    Instead, the file is saved under a path like this “wp-content/uploads/sites/2”

    As a result, the paths for all images or any other files hosted on the site looks like this (sub.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/…).

    I recently installed multisite on an nginx server. There all images and files from a given site were correctly placed into the blogs.dir folder as wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/…). The root of a given site, essentially began at the blog id. So their paths resembled (sub.domain.com/files/…) This is what I want, but the tutorials I’ve been using for apache make no mention of any rewrite rules to make this happen. Instead, the blogs.dir remains empty, and I am left to wonder why I created the folder.

    What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is not wrong.

    The site with /uploads/sites/2 started Multisite on WP 3.5

    The site with /blogs.dir/2/files started Multisite pre 3.5

    You did nothing wrong, and you’re okay to carry on with /uploads/

    Oh, wow. Thank you! I need to take a closer look at the new developments it seems.

    Well, then is there a way to get the file paths to be changed from this:

    <a href="https://my.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/01/slide01.jpg">

    To this:

    <a href="https://my.domain.com/2013/01/slide01.jpg">

    or this:

    <a href="https://my.domain.com/files/2013/01/slide01.jpg">

    I don’t really like having wp-content/uploads/sites/[blog_id] in any path?

    I’m thinking rule from the older 3.4 config may be a clue to get this done. Could you share with me any insights on this?

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

    Funny enough, most people want to go the other way (since your path isn;t a secret, and the /files/ stuff is a hassle).

    How deep into the new install are you? The easiest way would be to start over on 3.4, make the site, and then upgrade to 3.5 ??

    I’m not deep into it at all, but you’re right though. It does look like a hassle. My team and I we’ll keep it as is, for now.

    Thanks for all your help!
