 * Thank you Mika for the help.
 * Just for future visitors: after a day of troubleshooting and calls I reached 
   the #2 of domain.com’s tech support whom doesn’t know and has no way to know 
   what their AllowOverride setting is. And in any case, they say, there would be
   no way to change it. Their httpd.conf is some sort of Necronomicon that nobody
   is allowed to read, let alone touch.
 * But I suspect the problem is a missing AllowOverride FileInfo on virtual server
   configuration.
 * I tried an install on my other host (MediaTemple) and of course works.
 * So the moral is domain.com doesn’t support WP multisite.

 * > Do not. Touch. Site settings.
 * Ok, changing the various upload paths doesn’t seem to affect anything anyway.
   
   Are Fileupload Url, Upload Url Path, Upload Path supposed to show the “real” 
   paths (blogs.dir…) or the clean ones?
 * And yes, I removed those jpg files, that’s why you get 404.
 * You can use this post as reference:
    [http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/?p=1](http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/?p=1)
 * Redirects correctly to the clean url:
    [http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/hello-world/](http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/hello-world/)
 * When I’m logged in I can see the image in the post. When I’m not, the image is
   a 400 error.

 * Or I can just rephrase the problem this way:
 * How is it possible that the images and the url rewriting work when I’m logged
   in but not when I’m logged out?
 * This is driving me insane O_o

 * I reinstalled everything from scratch and the problem persists.
 * This is the image
    [http://mycours.es/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/a.jpg](http://mycours.es/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/a.jpg)
 * This is the url that doesn’t get rewritten and throws a 500
    [http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/files/2012/08/a.jpg](http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/files/2012/08/a.jpg)
 * In the site settings
    upload path is: wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files upload url
   path is empty Fileupload Url is: [http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/files](http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/files)
 * If there is no other solution I don’t mind having unclean url/permalinks, but
   I don’t even know if it’s possible.

 * Ok, I called my host and they say mod_rewrite is on. In fact I made an .htaccess
   file with RewriteEngine On and it doesn’t throw an error.
 * They say FollowSymLinks is also enabled and AllowOverride is set to all.
 * Good news. But the problem remains 🙁
    Any other suggestion?

 * I believe mod_rewrite is not enabled, it doesn’t show up in the phpinfo
    [http://mycours.es/info.php](http://mycours.es/info.php)
 * The .htaccess file is being read, at least in part, because if I rename it the
   blog in the subdirectory becomes unreachable.
 * I just submitted a request to my host but I fear I may not have the control over
   httpd.conf. It’s a relatively cheap commercial hosting solution. Am I doomed?
