X-Cart forums

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,

I'm not sure....but you might check your .htaccess file in the images directory and make sure it says

Allow from All

I checked, the one in the images folder says allow. the one in teh files folder (as in files/images/thumbnails) says deny all. i changed it to allow and still no go. so i put it back.

this was fine before i moved the store. seems to me it has to be a /store somewhere i've missed. maybe?

What does the path in 'Images Location' say?

[candleshopcreations]

/home/candlesh/public_html/files/images/thumbnails

if i use the images path and put it like this in the browser:
http://www.candleshopcreations.com/files/images/thumbnails/bathbear1_t.jpg
the image will show.

so this is a permissions problem? the .htaccess in files is deny. is that wrong? i did not change this from before and it worked fine.

the images directory .htaccess file says:
Options -Indexes
Allow from all

should there be an .htaccess in the thumbnail and other dir?

[candleshopcreations]

well. i just exported my products and it turns out the images were renamed. not the files but the link in the products. so. i will start editing the csv file w/ the right names. but this is gonna be a mess and take me a while to fix.

anyone know how I did this? or if there is a better way? i thought I followed the directions right. oh well, off I go!
