I was dreading updating a clients WPMU website. I had put it off as long as I could. If i knew it was this easy I would have done it sooner! I guess that's what I get for listening to all the hype. Thanks for the great tutorial! :-) Blessings, Wendy Andrea, thanks so much for this tutorial. I was dreading updating a clients WPMU website. I had put it off as long as I could.

If you have an upgraded MU install, then no - this is not regenerated for you. If this is the install that was set up using a script, I can;t help you, as I have no idea what it does or does not do. Please contact your host. I *can* tell you that there absolutely needs to be the line to the rewrite rules for the image URL rewrites. That is in the post.

However when I upload an image using the browser upload facility (not by FTP) then I cannot open this file and get an error message: Error 404 - File not Found. It still may have something to do with the .htaccess file of which I found now that there are 2 of them: 1 in the public_html (which is also the location for a single install WP site) and another one in the directory where the MU version is installed. I have named this directory "mu". Both are however not the same! Questions: 1) is it correct that 2 .htaccess files are present in an WPMU install 2) how does one obtain the correct one(s) or does the system generate them itself. Remark: a .htaccess file is not present in a "fresh" WPMU download from Wordpress Please advise Jacob See my earlier questions about the upgrade of WPMU: I followed the guidelines as proposed in this document and the Multi Site works partially.

Thanks for taking the time to share this. I was a little nervous at first, as it seemed like an intense undertaking - but it was actually a very smooth and efficient process. Cheers. Very helpful.

I just copy my choice of default theme into 'twentyten' theme folder. I can't log on as admin, can't do anything admin tasks. I'm looking into database as you suggested. Which table should I check on 'admin priviledges' of the admin? As far as I can see, only two table seems to be related 'wp_users and wp_usermeta'. thanks Gary, that’s exactly the problem I’m facing now. main blog’s theme still the same old ‘home’ theme. but default theme when new user register is changed to twentyten, which is fine I suppose.

It does not interfere with the functioning of the site. You'll have to talk to your web host about those other rewrite rules. They look like they are related to how you web server is configured. wp-content/blogs.php only gives you the warning in the admin area. It does not interfere with the functioning of the site.

Only after deleting the wp-content/blogs.php file it worked immediately, (I added the "salt" but left the wp-content/blogs.php file in to see what was happening). I argued if something is depreciated how can it interfere?! Apparently it does! I also see that this new copy is quite different from the one which was in place earlier (see my first question). To that previous one I had added some modifications to have the webalizer statistics generated by cPanel shown by internet in a protected folder inside the public_html directory. Should I add all missing lines of the earlier .htaccess into the new above mentioned copy in order to continue this facility? Regards and thank you so much. Jacob Schipper Hi,
