[Forum] Attachments missing, but not really

[Brandon Perkins]

Hello, I was trying to rebuild my attachments but it keeps giving me error messages (attachment not found) I recently moved my server from a shared host to a VPS. I've checked the attachments and found them on my site.

Any idea what can be causing this ?

Is the attachment path set correctly in the attachment storage type?

Its set to go into my database

Okay. this is what i did to remedy the problem. I created an attachment folder CHMOD 777 and directed the site to transfer the attachments to that directory

For some reason, it wasnt processing the images inside the database after the move.

I am having trouble making thumbnails though now. It just keeps displaying the Full-Size images on the threads for some reason even after rebuilding attachments

I suggest moving the attachments to files.

I've already done that I believe. I went to ACP > ATTACHMENTS > ATTACHMENT STORAGE TYPE > MOVE TO DIRECTORY

Specified the directory, and transferred them from the Database to a Folder I changed to CHMOD 777. Transferred successfully.

I also went to the ACP > MAINT > REPAIR/OPTIMIZE TABLES and Optimized the Attachments Table.

The problem I am having now is that the only some of the images are Showing up as Thumbnails.

If the user uses the [ img ] tag to a photobucket account or something is it supposed to automatically resize the images? Or do I have to do something special to resize these as well

Those will remain as large images and will not be shown as thumbnails.

is there any way to change the Default Thumbnail viewer to a different one? I really like this Highslide viewer, but it only works sometimes
