Upgrade from WPMU to 3.0.1 Problems

So, I updated my MPMU site to WP3.0.1 and have broken everything except the index page.

I hope you made backups of database and server files.

That broke my media files which would no longer show in posts or as thumbnails.

open up htaccess file – and paste in wordpress.pastebin.com and give link of pastebin here. What are you using to pull in thumbnails in WPMU 2.9.2 – a plugin, custom field, timthumb or WP’s post thumbnail script? In any case, let’s see the htaccess file

Take a look at greenandcompany.net/NWoD

Just to clarify – you installed WPMU in subdirectory NWoD?

Well, I managed to reinstall and update while waiting for a reply, though I thank you muchly mercime. I just used my backup of my database and installed WPMU and upgraded to 3.0.1 again. The Media Library is still very much broken. I have no idea… I worked around it by adding a subdirectory for the few images I have and making links to them in the posts for now.

Here’s my htaccess file anyway…

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /NWoD/

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

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

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

Perhaps you can answer this for me, though. Its an ongoing battle to find some way to have a FULL SITE FEED on my front page that IS NOT in a widget. I want the full site feed from the 10 or so blogs I have in subdirectories to greenandcompany.net/NWoD/. I have found plugins for single blog feeds and I have tried the Tags idea and that doesn’t work.

I just want the 2 or 3 latest posts from each blog to show up in a single post on the front page in chronological order. It seems simple enough, but I cannot get it to work… or when I do get it to work it breaks very quickly. Any thoughts?

and removing the one noted directory.

There were no instructions to remove a directory.
There were only instructions to remove a file.

I fiddled around with that and now I get a 404 error when trying to access all but my main page.

Go resave your permalinks for starters.

installed WPMU and upgraded to 3.0.1 again.

@greenand
replace
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
with

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

and make sure you delete only blogs.php file in /wp-content/ folder

And, what Andrea_r said ??

Sorry.. poor terminology on my part there. Too many years teaching high school, I think.
I did remove the blogs.php file, which is what I meant. And will rewrite the one line.
