Question
Wordpress Multisite using block-storage for /uploads
I have my Wordpress multisite installed in /var/www/example.com/u/
I created a block-storage called storage
and it is mounted under /mnt/storage/
, this contains a folder called /uploads
.
In my Wordpress wp-config.php file I have this define('UPLOADS', '../../../../mnt/storage/uploads');
Which means the new upload folder is /mnt/storage/uploads
The owner is www-data:www-data
and permissions is 0755
for /storage
The problem is that all my sites uploaded images and videos are broken. I also tried to upload a new image on one of the sites, and I can see it being uploaded under sites
and the correct site id. But the image is not shown in Wordpress, neither in the media library or when I attach it to the site. So I cannot view the image at all.
Isn’t it enough to change this setting in wp-config.php? Do I have to do anything else to make it work?
