Solved: issue with wordpressMU image or media uploading

Single wordpress and wordpressMu has different behaviour.. If you are using apache webserver then there is no issue but if you are using than there is issue with image mapping. specially with nginx web server.
You need to write the rewrite rule for image. Also you need to check about folder permission in your “blogs.dir” directory. change folder permission to 777.
For single wordpress there is uploads folder is present but for wordpressMu there is no uploads folder present in directory. You should look for blogs.dir folder which is present in wordpressMu/wp-content folder.

For solve the issue add the following lines in your apache configuration(httpd.conf) file. If this file is not present then add following lines in your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

One another issue.
You should check the “Upload File Types” settings going here.
http://yoursite/wp-admin/wpmu-options.php

Check the “Max upload file size” and also check the “Blog upload space”

For Nginx you will find the configuration code from https://purabtech.in/image-upload-issue-in-wordpressmu-with-nginx/
