Main Site Images 404 Error

  • I’ve used WordPress MS a few times now without trouble, however my current version is really troubling me and I can’t find any other posts with the same problem. I have four sites setup, site ID 1 is mydomain.com and the next 3 sites are mydomain.com/sitename/ (using sub-folders)

    I can view all four sites just fine, however only the images in my sub-sites work, the sites using the blogs.dir folder for uploads. When I upload images to my first site, the images go to wp-content/uploads/. I can see them using my ftp program, but if I direct to them in my browser, I receive a 404 error. I copied the htaccess code exactly as given so I don’t understand why it is doing this. Could someone help me out please? Thank you!

    What’s the URL you’re using to try and view them?

    And here’s an example of the image 404 error:

    Interestingly https://gutterprosamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07 is also a 404.

    Is that the complete htaccess? Any caching plugins going on?

    The only plugin I ever activated was the domain mapping plugin. When I discovered the issue, I deactivated the plugin and removed the code from the wp-config file that linked to it. It didn’t seem to fix it. I’m completely baffled.

    And that is your complete htaccess?

    And the folders for uploads exists?

    I double checked my .htaccess file and that is complete. I also verified that every folder in that chain exists, there are even files in the folder so I know that the upload portion is working, thumbnails are successfully created, but when WordPress goes to show them it cannot find it, nor can I through direct linking.

    It is hosted on Godaddy, would this be a problem? Perhaps their default htaccess rules for shared hosting is conflicting? I really have no good ideas here and was hoping you may. The host is the only difference I really have between this and other multi-site installs I’ve used. I’ve even had success with the domain mapping plugin, although I don’t use it for every project.

    GoDaddy does have some odd quirks, and if everything but the host is the same, then I would be suspicious too.

    That said, they do support Multisite on shared hosting (subfolder only, not subdomain) so it should work. You’re not accidently on a Windows server, are you?
