Images broken in multisite after movie to new server. Documents work.

If you know of a thread that has the solution to this problem, please link to that thread.

I have tried searching several threads with similar issues, with not luck.

One thing that makes me think that web.config actually could be what is messing things up is this:

This type of link does not work:

/subsitename/files/2014/11/elise_sysselsattningen_liten.jpg

..however this link does work:

/wp-content/blogs.dir/21/files/2014/11/elise_sysselsattningen_liten.jpg

…this would indicate that there is nothing wrong with the images themselves, but still WordPress produces the first kind of link.

The really odd part though is that this works fine:
/subsitename/files/2014/11/Infobrev-Kattarp.pdf

If there was a problem with web.config – wouldn’t both of the links that includes the subsitename be broken?

My web.config:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name=”WordPress Rule 1″ stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”^index\.php$” ignoreCase=”false” />
<action type=”None” />
</rule>
<rule name=”WordPress Rule 2″ stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+)” ignoreCase=”false” />
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”wp-includes/ms-files.php?file={R:2}” appendQueryString=”false” />
</rule>
<rule name=”WordPress Rule 3″ stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$” ignoreCase=”false” />
<action type=”Redirect” url=”{R:1}wp-admin/” redirectType=”Permanent” />
</rule>
<rule name=”WordPress Rule 4″ stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”^” ignoreCase=”false” />
<conditions logicalGrouping=”MatchAny”>
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” ignoreCase=”false” />
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” ignoreCase=”false” />
</conditions>
<action type=”None” />
</rule>
<rule name=”WordPress Rule 5″ stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*)” ignoreCase=”false” />
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:2}” />
</rule>
<rule name=”WordPress Rule 6″ stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$” ignoreCase=”false” />
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”{R:2}” />
</rule>
<rule name=”WordPress Rule 7″ stopProcessing=”true”>

</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Link to one of the subsites with broken images: https://blogg.helsingborg.se/dengemensammastaden/

I am able to update the database for any subsite with the direct url to the image on the server – which would solve the problem with showing existing images. However, this is no solution, since I am still unable to add new images if I do it this way.

I tried changing rule 2 in my web.config after checking this thread:

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/73783/broken-image-multisite

It worked – although it is not an ideal solution. But whatever works… My new rule looks like this:

<rule name=”WordPress Rule 2″ stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+)” ignoreCase=”false” />
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”wp-content/blogs.dir/21/files/{R:2}” appendQueryString=”false” />
</rule>

This works fine for the subsite with site id=21! However, I don’t have a clue to get it working for all subsites. I tried simply adding more <action>-tags with the rest of the site id’s. But I sort of knew it wouldn’t work ??

Does anyone know how to make a rule that…eh…rules them all…all of the site id’s? Would be ideal not having to edit the web.config anytime I add a new site also – but I can live with that if there is no other way.

Still find it strange my old web.config won’t work on the new server though.
