vBulletin Manual - Move User Pictures from Database to File System

Moving items from the database to a file system

Selecting the User Picture Storage Type option will display the current storage type and enable you to change it.

Warning:

The transfer process will only be successful if there is sufficient disk space to store your images and that the specified directory exists and if fully readable and writable (usually chmod 777)

The page requires you to enter the following details:

Avatar File Path - enter the location where the avatars will be stored on your webserver. The path to the directory where your images will be stored. This should be both readable and writeable by your webserver and relative to your forums root directory
URL to Avatars - enter the url of where the avatars will be stored. This should be relative to your forums home page
Profile Picture Path - enter the location where the profile pictures will be stored on your webserver. The path to the directory where your images will be stored. This should be both readable and writeable by your webserver and relative to your forums root directory
URL to Profile Pictures - enter the url of where the profile pictures will be stored. This should be relative to your forums home page

Once the details have been entered click the 'Go' button.

Before the images are transferred to the file system, you may specify the number of users to be processed for each cycle. Enter the number of users to process and click the 'Go' button.
