* This actually sounds like a permission problem. Check to see if your permissions
are set in that folder to 755 or 777. Make sure the image is set up like that
as well.

* ok, I’m not an expert but heres my opinion;)
your image is this: [http://firefly.wordofmy.com/files/2010/11/02002_theopallake_1440x900.jpg](http://firefly.wordofmy.com/files/2010/11/02002_theopallake_1440x900.jpg)
* But, is that where your image is uploaded at? If you have the image saved in
that exact location, w/ correct permissions – then it should appear via that
link. I have never had a problem just viewing an image before, unless the link
was written incorrectly, or the permissions were bad.
* with that being said, maybe you contact host support?

* If the image is there and permissions are okay, what’s in your .htaccess file?

* Okay, It looks like you were running WPMU. I would replace that with this:
* ```
# BEGIN WordPress
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]
# END WordPress

* Okay, a direct link works so we know the images are there.

* However if I try to manually use the ms-files link it doesn’t work. First make
sure that the ms-files.php file is there in the WP-includes folder. If so … Can
you check if mod-rewrite is fully enabled on your server? Most of the time in
this situation, that’s the problem.

* ms-files.php is in WP-includes, dose it have to do whit that I had WPMU before
WPMS? When i updated it want me too change form blogs.php too wp-files.php in
the .htaccess and delete the blogs.php file.
* For mod_rewrite i did this test [http://wordofmy.com/rewrite.php](http://wordofmy.com/rewrite.php)

* Well .. I’m assuming it all worked on WPMU and broke after you upgraded (which,
if so, is something you should always state in the beginning of your posts 😉
it’s useful!).
* Most likely is you have an incomplete upgrade. Try reuploading all the wordpress
3.0.1 files.

that 🙂
