So I have been reading all i can for the last 2 hours and have not a solution.
I moved my drupal site from one host to another, all works well minus:
images in the the ‘sites/defualt/files’ folder are in the FTP and i can priview them there but when got to the URL I just a page not found message.
example image URL: http://www.example.com/sites/default/files/image.jpg
this what’s in my code and the path is correct but the image does not show.
Here’s what I have checked:
- Clean url’s are enabled,
- ‘admin/settings/file-system’, set to public
- ‘admin/settings/file-system’, File system path: ‘sites/default/files’ as it should be
- .htaccess in files folder is set to
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
# Options None
# Options +FollowSymLinks
and I have tried it with ‘#’ removed
- I have tried leaving the settings.php
$base_url =""blank and with my exsample domain - I have the files folder set to cmod ‘777’
- Checked the database files table, path is set to ‘sites/default/files/imagename.png’, which seems right
- image names do not have spaces in them.
- I have been flushing the cache for the testing different settings
- I have run the cron as well.
I don’t know what I am missing the files are there, the paths are even correct when i look at the rendered html, but the images are just not showing and the direct urls say ‘page not found’
Any Help would be awesome, I thought i had this problem before and solved it but i have no idea I missed.
Thanks for any help
Hhmm, have you checked that all parent folders have at least the execute flag set so that you can browse into them? I think it is safe to set all folders as: 755
Another way to debug this is trying to download other files contained in other folders, e.g. the README in root or some files in the misc/ and modules/ folders.
