How to move media files from blogs.dir?

  • I’m tired of the problems related to blogs.dir and redirects in exampe.com/files/
    I’m using nginx and do not want to deal with every time configs and settings under the outdated model of unthinking media file placement.

    I want to move all media files to uploads/sites/ and forget about it forever! How?
    If I tried delete blogs.dir wordpress always raised this zombie. Where is switcher for turn off this stupid atavism?

    Hi Bet!
    Yes It’s work. Not easy way. But It’s better than keep legacy

    Yes. I switched out my two networks a couple of years ago. Much less work than dealing with all the little issues that come up.

    If you are not so technically inclined, know that BackupBuddy does export & import single sites out & in of multisite. It’s in beta (has been for years, and probably always will be), but it does work most of the time. That might also be a way to migrate one site at a time and avoid all the db work.

    Hi
    I installed NextCellent Gallery 1.9.31 on WPMU and no problems there. When I was back on the site to start uploading pictures I got a message saying that the databases needed an upgrade and there was no way getting around thar.
    The result was:
    Upgrade NextCellent Gallery

    Upgrading database…
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Could not find NextCellent Gallery database tables, upgrade failed!' in /home/styrso/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/admin/upgrade.php:94 Stack trace: #0 /home/styrso/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/admin/upgrade.php(142): ngg_upgrade() #1 /home/styrso/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/admin/upgrade.php(109): doing_update_output('https://www.styr...') #2 /home/styrso/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/admin/class-ngg-admin-launcher.php(128): nggallery_upgrade_page() #3 /home/styrso/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/admin/class-ngg-admin-launcher.php(148): NGG_Admin_Launcher->show_upgrade_page() #4 [internal function]: NGG_Admin_Launcher->show_menu('') #5 /home/styrso/public_html/wp/wp-includes/plugin.php(525): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #6 /home/styrso/public_html/wp/wp-admin/admin.p in /home/styrso/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy/admin/upgrade.php on line 94

line 94 in upgrade.php
	throw new Exception( __( 'Could not find NextCellent Gallery base tables, upgrade failed!', 'nggallery' ) );

    As far as I can see there are 3 dbs: wp_ngg_album, wp_ngg_gallery and wp_ngg_pictures

    The gallery path is the default setting – wp-content/blogs.dir/%BLOG_ID%/files/

    I have used NextCellent on another single webpage domain without any problems for about a year now.
    Why doesn’t it work here?? All help would be very much appreciated!
    styrso.nu/wp/bastu – very much under development
