Uploads there - just not showing up

Sorry - I have seen a few postings where this has happened in the past, and that folks have solved this - but I can't seem to make it work with my server.
I've tried changing paths - even viewing the source afterward in the resulting page where the images won't show - and if I paste the path into my browser - voila - I have images.

Here's the skinny...
I moved a cmsbuilder install, and when I go to use the upload field and i see no preview.
When I use the path to the upload area in the web site directory within a browser - the image is there.

Not sure what's up - does the same from within any web site page where I tried to use the uploaded image.

Any ideas or thoughts - sure appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Jeff,

It's possible that you have the settings for the paths wrong in the General Settings after moving servers.

To have the upload directory in the root folder (yoursite.com/uploads) the settings should be:

Upload Directory: ../uploads/
Upload Folder URL: /uploads/

Also, check to make sure that your Website Root Directory is correct (there will be an error message at the top of the screen in CMSB if there is a problem with this setting).

Let me know if this helps,

Tom

Hi Tom-

Well, I'm using a temp URL for now... (everything except these images are working)...

Changing to what you suggest doesn't seem to help. Maybe I'm not doing correctly...

I can PM you with test URL to see...?

Thanks much!

Hi Jeff,

I've had a look and figured out the problem - your absolute (Upload Directory) and relative (Upload Folder URL) settings weren't quite right.

I've changed them to the appropriate paths.

Hope this helps,

Tom

Cool - thank you! Just noticed that.
Now - is this because I'm using the temp URL?

Once I change it over to the actual domain name - those paths could change (not needed, but could be changed to / and ../uploads, right)?

Thanks a ton!
