OpenCart Community

Hello, everyone.

I have a shop on a shared server. 2 days ago my site stopped working suddenly, with an Error 500. It turned out my hosting provider changed their folder path structure, so I had to change the dir paths in my config.php (in the admin folder, too). After that my site worked again, except one thing: product images are not showing up. The logo shows up, but the product images are empty. I checked the source with firebug and the img src's are empty. The same happens when I view the products in the admin panel: no images appearing.
The hosting tech support suggested: "Please re-add the product images" which sounds ridiculous to me. I have hundreds of products with thousands of pictures. Does anyone have any idea what happened and how it could be fixed?

Opencart version: 2.3.0.2. / Single store.

Thank you!

Well, one could possibly find out, where you screwed up, if you at least present
a Sitelink, and some links and paths out of your config.php files.
It could also be this <base href="{{ base }}" /> line in your
theme/template/common/header.tpl , not linking correctly, and just
to make sure, you could rewrite it to: <base href="http://www.yourshop .com/shop/" />
or whatever url you use...
And in your .htaccess file, you have this REWRITE LINE:
RewriteBase /
possibly required to be directed to your new Shop Sub, like i.E. /shop/:
RewriteBase /shop/
But as I usually say: No Figures = No Facts !

Thanks, Ernie. Yes, sorry, you are right I missed some important information.

That's all that got modified, nothing else (stylod folder is the content of stylod.com) . After this modification, the images disappeared, as you can see.
.htaccess were never modified.

Do you have any idea?

Well, your Product Listings contain no Image URL, for some unknown reason: You have to check on, how they are saved/linked in the Database.

Sample (OC v.1.5.6.x only!) DB Image Linking.

As you can see, all the product images are linked correctly. There were no changes made in the database. I only modified the config.php server global paths and that's all.

I've just noticed when I try to upload a new photo in opencart admin, the image manager is fully empty. See the attached screenshot. When i try to create a folder with image manager, i get this error: "Warning: Directory does not exist!".

I'm really annoyed now. Does anybody have any idea what happened?

@max05 did you manage to resolve the issue?

I am experiencing the same symptoms following update from 1.5.6.4 to 2.3.0.2. Config DIR_IMAGE paths are correct as are database entries for product image path.

Update Turns out forward slashes cannot be used in paths in the config files in OC 2.3.0.2. My server accepts forward slashes in the paths generated during installation of 1.5.x (the installer ends up with a mix of back and forward slashes) hence I didn't immediately identify it as an issue when checking the config files.

The DIR_IMAGE path have to be absolute and will not follow symbolic links. Must be a php update that hardens the security rules.

Guys, yo know, I have the same issue after moving my shop to the new hosting server. But I use OC3.0.2.0 version. All img tags have src="".

@max05: sorry for delay, it's a busy time here...
You missed to show us the Upper Part of the ROOT
config.php file, where your http/s - linking is configured.
Maker it look like below: And if you want to use HTTP Image linking, wich works more efficient as well,
to make it work for sure, read here about it:

Kindly look carefully your admin/config.php
you may echo DIR_IMAGE, see got extra "/" or not.
For my case initially I have this `/home/opencart/oc3//image` after that I change to `/home/opencart/oc3/image` then everything work fine.
