image references

[xmanhattan]

Hello all,

I am not sure what to classify this problem as but here it is.

I have a linux server that I has multiple test domains including the root.  When I installed elxis in test.cxm, I installed it in a subdirectory so that it appeared as test.cxm/elxis/.

I recently created a new install of elxis into the root of example.com so that I could test it on the internet using the database created in test.cxm.  I exported that db and then imported into the new.
On the Local network both domains show the site correctly.  Both domains use separate ip's 192.168.x.x

I searched through the db to find references to test.cxm and changed them to example.com and changed them in the tables where they are referenced.  I am using separate db name extensions, elx_ and eno_.

In the editor, I checked the html and notice that the image was being referenced to test.cxm and not example.com.

Code: [Select]

<img src="http://test.cxm/images/photos/photoalbum01.jpg" alt="photoalbum01" title="photoalbum01" width="302" height="200" />
When I called example.com through the internet using http://xmanhattan.homelinux.com/ and a system not connected to the local net, the site appears but without images.  I checked the code and saw that the images are referenced to the test.cxm site so I logged into admin on example.com to change the image references.

Now the html shows <

Code: [Select]

img src="http://example.com/images/photos/  etc...  but no images are appearing.

First, I checked the .htaccess file and rewritebase is set to / for example.com and all files are under /var/www/public_html
Then I checked that all image files and directories have been copied and with proper attributes 777.
I rechecked the db to see if there is any other referencing problem there but did not see any.
Configuration.php is using the eno_ for the db.

So my question is what am I missing?

Did you edit the sql file in order to change the URLs before importing them to the other site? If no, you should do so!

Hello datahell,

Well, I exported the test db and then edited the sql file which was easier than the way that I did it before.
I should have thought about that.
Then I dropped the tables in the second db and reloaded using the updated sql but this still does not work.

Other ideas?

You can take a look at the site using the link in my previous message if you wish.

At the above link image references to <img src="http://linux.cxm/images/enosi_photos/photoalbum12.jpg" alt="photoalbum12" title="photoalbum12" height="100" width="346">

Are you sure enosi_photos/photoalbum12.jpg exists?

Check twice you configuration.php for mistakes!!

and what it is the http://linux.cxm all you files call this domain.

If you can't do it, send to me via pm access for the website.

Hello Sirigos,

Sadly yes.  The files are in that directory and the owner and group is root.

I usually have a static page in the / area with some images and those always show so I do not believe that my server is the problem.  The only thing that I am unsure about is whether the .htaccess file.

The file is as follows and I have not altered the security section:
# Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(administrator/|bridges/|cache/|components/|editor/|help/|images/|includes/|language/|mambots/|media/|modules/|templates/|tmpr/) - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

The $mosconfig
absolute path = /var/www/html
live site = http://linux.cxm

The live site is the name of server and domain that I have used at other times for demo on the net.
This site does not have a valid domain name and uses a dynamic ip.

Any other ideas that might help?

Just a thought while working on elxis, an additional quick question to the above.

If I create directories under /images to place the images that I intend to use at the site rather than adding them through the image upload, could that possibly create this problem?

Although I uploaded the pictures this way, I still changed their settings to 777.
