Moved servers and no photos are shown.

Mastermind7517 · April 5th, 2011, 10:22 AM

I recently moved servers and no photos are showing in Photopost. I checked the data directory, the photos are still there. I chown and chmod'ed the right permissions and users, the paths are correct in the admin panel and the config panel. I'm not showing any other issues other than 0 photos when I go to photopost. If I go to the photo directly via URL it's shown.

Any ideas?

How to Move Servers and/or Change Directories

This should assist you when you move servers.

I've done that. Everything works except photos.

well if your files exist and the server paths under global and storage options are correct your photos will show.

Obviously if they do not something is wrong. You must place a url if you want me to comment further. That tutorial is very detailed and will solve your issue.

see with a url its simple

YOU DELETED YOUR PHOTOS

You had bad paths in your settings went to your moved site saw photos not showing so you went into your admin panel and did scan database to rebuild images which is not what you want to do.

To restore your site restore the pp_photos table then if you corrected all your paths your photos will appear.

The files are still in the data dir?

Yes but you still deleted your photos in the database.

If your server paths where wrong and you try and rebuild an image and its not found the program removes the entry in the database.

Like I said you will need to restore a backup of the photos table.
