i followed the directions in the list of things asked a million times. all went great, until i noticed all the product pics are gone. firefox shows the alt text, safari the little x box.

i tried the following:

sql query:
update xcart_thumbnails
set image_path = replace(image_path,'/store/','/')
-ran images, icons too, it made the changes to appropriate sounding #'s of lines

tried changed file permissions from 644 to 777, folders already 755

changed in admin /home/candlesh/public_html/files/images/thumbnails

looked in sql db's, paths right. the pictures are on the server, in the right directories. if i go into a product i can choose the picture and its fine. but i really don't want to have to do it that way. i've imported links before ok, but after something got goofed in the products, i forget what exactly, but i'd rather not do that either unless i have to.

saw something about deleting the .htaccess and putting the images back in files system, tried that, didn't work.

what else? not sure where else to look.

thanks,
