@john-james … I have the same issue. Here is the thread in question if you find it helpful.

@r-a-y – That is a reference to the current live site, which is built of of WordPress 2.7 (not WPMU).

This is really frustrating. I was just about to go to production and now this. I can roll back if needed, but would love to get this working.

OK. PEBKAC error. I was looking at the wrong dir (needed blogs.dir) and the permissions were wrong.

@ray … looks like I do not have an .htaccess file … which is weird. Is there a standard .htaccess file that should be present?

@ray – Where are they stored? Working on testing your soln.

I did search the forums, but I did not find this thread. Thanks!
