They work just fine in the admin site, just not the subsites.

https://www.playcreativeinc.com – works correctly
lincoln.playcreativeinc.com – does not work correctly

I’m sorry for not understanding this but what do you mean before I mapped domains?

Yes I’m using subdomains, here is what Network Setup says I should be using under Network Admin:

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

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

I was playing around with the settings and I tried AllowOverride All, AllowOverride FileInfo Options, AllowOverride FileInfo Options All in the empty directory, /home/xxxxx/, and /home/xxxxx/playcreativeinc.com and none of those configurations worked correctly.

I restarted apache after each change as well.

I also was reading around some other posts and thought my RewriteRule was incorrect in .htaccess so I tried to update it to:

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

but that did not work either. So I reverted it back to:

RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

I tried stopping and starting the web server after updating httpd.conf to:

<Directory /home/xxxxx>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

and:

<Directory /home/xxxxx>
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
</Directory>

and the image still doesn’t load. In the httpd.conf file I did notice this though:

<Directory>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
...
<Directory /home/xxxxx>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
...
<Directory /home/xxxxx/playcreativeinc.com>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .py
Options Includes Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch ExecCGI
...large block of code
</Directory>

Should I change the empty directory at the top to AllowOverride All? Should I add AllowOverride All, (which doesn’t seem to specify it right now), to the playcreativeinc.com directory?

After contacting Dreamhost they finally told me how to update httpd.conf. I updated the options to the following:

<Directory /home/xxxxx>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

And the image still fails to load. I also tried AllowOverride FileInfo Options and that didn’t seem to work either.

I wonder if I should restart the web server and or wait a while after updating the httpd.conf for it to work.
