html's inside blogs.dir/x/files/ get downloaded after 3.7.1

    I have html image galleries inside my blogs.dir/x/files/

    After updating to 3.7.1 from 3.6.x, html files get downloaded (automatically) instead of opened by the browser (tried safari, chrome, firefox).

    Any help / suggestions are greatly appreciated. As I couldn’t find any info on this.

    this is my .htaccess:

    Options All -Indexes

RewriteEngine On

ErrorDocument 403 /myerror.html

    What plugins are you using?

    Hello,

    I’m using:
    Contact Form 7 (network activated)
    Wordpress SEO
    NextGen Gallery 2.0.33 (network activated)
    Cryptex 2.0 (network activated)
    Bulk Creator 1.0.1
    GTMetrix 0.41
    W3 Total Cache (installed but not active)

    Thread Starter jvnvr

    (@jvnvr)

    Disabling all plugins, the problem persists.
    If I try direct linking to
    https://mywebsite.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/ios.webapp/index.html it’s ok.
    If I try https://mywebsite.com/files/ios.webapp/index.html it downloads the html file.

    W3 Total Cache is usually the cause of that, with weird gzipping. Did you clean out the cache files from .htaccess etc?

    Also does it happen on another theme?

    Thread Starter jvnvr

    (@jvnvr)

    I’ve cleared caches, disabled w3 total cache plugin, deleted the plugin, deleted wp-content/cache folder and wp-content/w3tc folder, added
    define(‘WP_CACHE’, false); to wp-config.php, following this step-by-step.
    https://www.technoxpad.com/w3-total-cache-removal-tutorial/

    I’ve also stripped my root .htaccess to:

    #tried with this line and without
SetEnv no-gzip dont-vary

#tried this too
SetEnvIf Request_URI \.html$ no-gzip

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

    I’ve changed my theme to twenty-eleven, twenty-thirteen and then back to roots – same thing happens.

    I’ve been testing mainly using Safari with Develop>Disable Caches but in FF and Chrome it’s the same too.

    Opening the inspector in Safari, and opening a wordpress served page linking to the static html file, when I click the link and the file gets downloaded, I could see a warning:
    “Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type image/html”
    According to https://reference.sitepoint.com/html/mime-types-full that MIME type doesn’t exist.

    Any ideias where this might come from? Thank you.

    It’s possible the changes to ms-files.php did this (and would be part of why we don’t use it anymore on new installs of Multisite).

    Reinstall the 3.6.1 files on top of the ones you have and see if it goes away. If so, that’s probably it. Sadly, what you’re doing isn’t really super-well-supported, and was always kind of janky ??

    I’ll try that.
    I did a local clean install of WP 3.7.1 for testing and noticed “blogs.dir” is now gone and media files go to “uploads/sites/x/”. No more blogs.dir from 3.7.1 up?
    I also noticed there’s no ms-files.php on the clean .htaccess as you mentioned.
    If I also want to serve static content along each site, where should I put it? Ideally urls like site1.com/files, site2.com/files would be nicer.

    Thank you

    No more blogs.dir from 3.7.1 up?

    3.5 and up actually. You CAN change your site – https://halfelf.org/2012/dumping-ms-files/

    I know a lot of people think that files looked nicer, but what you’re experiencing is kinda why we got rid of it :/
