Broken images after DB clone

Get a broken image replacement, such as this placeholder and save it to your webserver (available on the same domain).

Add the following entry to Apache (virtual host or .htaccess file):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} sites/default/files
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^ default.png [L]
</IfModule>

For Drupal the recommendation is to sites/default/files/.htaccess to not to hack core.
