Re: [jimbly2] Moved to live server - no images?
Hi Jimbly,
Images can be tricky.
I don't use usually a test server, (images are one of the reasons) and it's good to hear that the folks a IT are working on an automated fix for this issue.
Meanwhile, here are a few other ideas that might get you going.
You probably know this part already, but the path to your image upload folder is stored in 2 fields in the "general" section of your admin panel. Make sure that the path points to your new server and not the test server.
The actual image location information (not the images) is stored in a separate database table called “yourprefix_upload”.
That said, if the easy fix didn't remedy your issue, open a section editor with an upload field and upload a few test images to your live server.
Note that the data may change slightly for each section editor's images. (I'm not sure, so to be safe upload a few new images to at least 2 sections before you change any data.)
Download the “yourprefix_upload” database table and
make a backup copy of it.
Then look through the entries in the “yourprefix_upload” database. When you find the path names and location info fields for the new images, paste that information into the columns of data as appropriate.
Replace the old “yourprefix_upload” database table with the new one and with luck, you should be good to go.
Hope that points you in the right direction,
Best,
Jerry Kornbluth
