cannot upload any images after upgrade

[BWJ]

vbulletin 3.6.7 and upgrade of vbgallery from 2.2 to 2.4.1

I have just moved to a new server. However after upgrading the gallery I cannot upload, rotate and resize.

I have tried GD1 and GD2 both with 755 and 777

My php-info:

gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
FreeType Version 2.1.9
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XPM Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

Any suggestions?

Update:

Upload: solved
(I forgot to chmod ALL subfolders in the files folder

Resize - e.g. thumbnails: NOT SOLVED
only works with new images after the upgrade... . All the old images remain the same size

Rotate (edit image): NOT SOLVED
editimage.php shows a blank page

I have tried as administrator.

Okay I have to bump this thread. The situation is now this:

Rotate (edit image): NOT SOLVED
editimage.php shows a blank page

GD1 and GD2 gives blank page. I have then tried with Imagemagic which does not give a blank page - but no rotation...

Resize - e.g. thumbnails: NOT SOLVED
only works with new images after the upgrade... . All the old images remain the same size

The resizing does not work at all even after updating counters, info etc. in maintanance. This is quite an important function. Please help...

Sounds like a problem I had once when migrating..

This CAN happen if you migrate using a shell command like wget

To test if it is that problem:
1. check one image file.. back up the thumb, image and original on your harddisk.. delete these three on server and then restore them with ftp client from your harddisk..
2. test resizing and rotating with THIS image
If it now works.. you have the same problem I had..
If it still doesnt work.. then its another problem..

What happened to me:

I commandline gzipped the site and fetched it on the other server..
the problem is.. i was logged in as root.. so all the files were owned by root now.. and all permissions got set to "owner root"

Only new files were working...

I couldnt even chmod the image files with my ftp client: Error-> no permission..
I could only delete the files with ftp client.
When copying the same file AFTER deleting it.. it worked..

So the First time i fixed the problem by making a backup of file directory with FTP client on my local harddisk... then deleting the directory on server.. and then restoring with ftp client..

Now ownership of files was no longer root but "nobody" and it worked..

Happened to me a second time.. i found a tool to change ownership of files (but cant remember what its called )

THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IF YOU MIGRATE USING STANDARD FTP CLIENT to transfer the files. If you used standard ftp client.. then its another problem..

Yep the file system where the images are stored.

All files needed CHMOD 777.
- When the files were moved they were all CHMOD 644. After chmod all images 777, resize was ok.

I used: WinSCP

Free SFTP, FTP and SCP client for Windows

http://winscp.net

It has a nice recursive CHMOD for files and sub-folders.

Yes I used SSH with Putty...!

I tried 1) and 2) and would not say that the rotating is working (It is not really a big deal...). I guess what Zachariah suggest is the answer.
