Change image cache directory for upgrade

Hi

I am working on an upgrade from 151 to 156 and have a problem with the image cache function.

My new site (under development) I have put in a folder .../156n but as I have a lot of images and do not want to move them to the new folder I have changed the path to the image folder in the config.php to ../image/ (instead of (../156n/image/).

Now, when I load the new site (156n) I can't see the images as all images seems to be called from .../156n/image/cache/store/SS-16884-80x80.jpg (i.e. the path in config.php doesn't work for the cache).

I can't figure out where I need to change in order to get this to work.

Any help is appreciated!

There is an issue with the image path being hard coded in 1.5.5.1 (an probably 1.5.6 too) that prevents this working. I'm doing the same thing with a test 1.5.5.1 for my upgrade from 1.5.2 and somewhere in the forums there is a free vqmod to fix this issue, but naturally I cannot seem to find it off hand. Do a search though.

I have tried to find this vQmod but without success. Do you know where this is hardcoded?
