Hello All,
We are Migrating to a new host, our site is running on Drupal 6, we are attempting to work the bugs out before going live on the new host.
We are using Image Cache, our site allows Users to change their Usernames, the images that were posted prior to the Username Change are not showing up on the new server. We have tried changing Permissions and it has not worked.
We are also running the Drupal Ad Module, and the problem is affecting this module as well.
If there is anyone who has experienced this or can help us, please do!
Kind Regards,
Oli

Can you describe the error
Can you describe the error more detailed? Are the image URLs correct and the files are there? What do you get when opening a missing image alone in a new tab? Try flushing the imagecache of the affected style(s).
After flusing the cache?
We have several pages, which show thumbnails of various content types. Some thumbnails appear and some do not. After flushing all imagecache styles cache, no more thumbnails appear, but some of the thumbnails on projects (for example appear). So when you click on the project name, the images appear on that page, but not on the page where multiple projects are displayed. weavolution.com/projects shows how the page should properly appear.
I was told by the new host all the images are there, but the weird thing is I dont' see all the images in the file manager. The imagecache folder does now appear in Filezilla at all, even though it is visible in their file manager.
Their tech support said something that did not make sense either. They said the images are built as requested. I know the imagecache is built as requested. My understanding is that the imagecache should be built from the original image. So it should be building the cache from the original, where would I look for those?
After flushing the imagecache styles the servers throws this error message
[Sun May 19 00:29:03 2013] [error] [client 86.30.41.179] File does not exist: /home/weavol5/public_html/500.shtml, referer: http://weavolution.com/projects/name
Thanks for your help.
Yes, the thumbnails should
Yes, the thumbnails should get generated as requested. That's apparently what's not working. For example the file http://weavolution.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/frontpage_thumbnai... is generated from its original http://weavolution.com/sites/default/files/projects/p1040362_web.jpg
If the originals are there and you can open them in the browser then you should get an error message when trying to open/generate a thumbnail. If an error message is neither displayed in the browser, nor written to the log, you should check error reporting settings in php.ini. The error message you posted might not have to do with this directly.
It might be a problem with the image library, or the server configuration. We can only guess without a distinct error message.
Grr
Back to the new host. They assured me all the images were there it was just imagecache not functioning. The first two images I checked are not there! Thanks for helping me convince myself of my initial instinct! It's a sham I had to resort to this to go back to tell them they're not there. I did learn more about imagecache though, so this is good!
Cheers
