Unable to View Attachments SMF2.0 RC3

[oziboy]

I'm placing this in SMF2.x Support rather that Conversions, as it may be able to be resolved here. I have searched for a resolution, but without any luck.

I have recently converted to SMF 2.0 RC3 from phpBB 3.0.7 and everything appeared to go smoothly, until I found I cannot view any attachments that converted in the move. In the threads on posts with attachments, the link is there for the 'Thumbnail' attachment, but clicking this gives a 404 error. I'm really at a loss as to where to look and what I've missed changing, or if it's wrong at all.

I've looked in Admin/Attachments/Browse Files and it looks like the photos are there, with Attachment Name, File size, Posted By, Date.
The file Path seems to be fine and set at /home/xxxxxx/public_html/attachments - but no connection can be made.

Next I went to CPanel and I opened phpMyAdmin, selected the Database, SMF_attachments, Browse and all appears fine here too.

Then to File Manager on CPanel, viewed the contents of Public_html and the attachments folder shows a size of 116kb Mode 0755 and viewing within the folder shows the File Name eg 1018_4ca4609f68e03109a6e54522c6b3dcd70d04c1ea_thumb Size 0 bytes Mode 0644 on each.

SMF is totally new to me here and I'm still finding my way, but I would be most welcome for any suggestions on resolving this matter.

I do have Aeva Media 1.3a installed and cannot get photos to find a File Path, but is another issue, perhaps.

**Edit. I did run the repair_settings.php and no problems showed in it.

Hi oziboy

Could you try this?
Admin --> Maintenance -> Forum Maintenance -> Routine -> Find and repair any errors

[oziboy]

I ran it and got this.



Congratulations, no errors found! Thanks for checking.

Just further with this problem, is that when you mouse-over the links where the missing images are supposed to be, you get this link show, which may give someone a clue as to how to get my forum back to working order.

Is there a file called "7006" in your attachement directory ?
So yes, whats the extension ?
What are the permissions of your attachement directory ?
Is there a .htacces file in it ? how does it look like ?

[xenovanis]

In addition, in Admin -> Forum -> Attachments and Avatars, make sure the extensions of your attachments are added in "Allowed attachment extensions".

[oziboy]

There is no .htaccess file in attachments and the 7006 attachment refers to a photo (as below).

Here's what I wrote about mode for the attachment folder..

Then to File Manager on CPanel, viewed the contents of Public_html and the attachments folder shows a size of 116kb Mode 0755 and viewing within the folder shows the File Name eg 1018_4ca4609f68e03109a6e54522c6b3dcd70d04c1ea_thumb Size 0 bytes Mode 0644 on each.

Allowed attachment extensions are - doc,gif,jpg,mpg,pdf,png,txt,zip

I noticed this topic today, maybe that will help?

Thank you - but it says it's not for 2.0.

[xenovanis]

Do the images show if you call them from your browser? How did you move them to the attachments folder?

[oziboy]

I've found posts on my forum which I know have attachments in them, but on doing a Google search and I click the link I get a 404 error every time.

They were moved by FTP in the conversion. 

[xenovanis]

If you used Filezilla to move them, this might be interesting to read:

Yeah, but you're doing weird stuff

Just kidding  Maybe it's better to start a new topic on this crustybum, as I have a feeling it's not entirely the same.
