Opencart: change image folder

I've got OpenCart 1.5.5.1 and tried to change the image folder with unexpected results.

My opencart is installed on www.example.com/opencart/

I changed the config.php and admin/config.php as follows:

// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://example.com/opencart/');

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://example.com/opencart/'); MyAccountAccess

// DIR
define('DIR_APPLICATION', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/catalog/');
define('DIR_SYSTEM', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/');
define('DIR_DATABASE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/database/');
define('DIR_LANGUAGE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/catalog/language/');
define('DIR_TEMPLATE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/catalog/view/theme/');
define('DIR_CONFIG', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/config/');
define('DIR_IMAGE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/image2/');
define('DIR_CACHE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/cache/');
define('DIR_DOWNLOAD', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/download/');
define('DIR_LOGS', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/logs/');

When I look at the site now, all the images are gone, not broken, but gone. After I update the folder name to "image2" the images show up broken and when I look at the Image URL I see:

http://example.com/opencart/image/data/Logos/logo.png

So somehow it is still looking for the "image" folder. It gets even stranger when I move the image folder outside the opencart folder, e.g. from /home/example/public_html/opencart/image2/ to /home/example/public_html/image2/

Then the image url is still:

example.com/opencart/image/data/Logos/logo.png

When I change the HTTP_SERVER line in config.php to http://example.com/opencart2 The images are still broken but the image url is now:

example.com/opencart2/image/data/Logos/logo.png

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Am I too naive thinking that the DIR_IMAGE define points to the folder where the images are?

Anyway, the reason I'm doing this is that I want two opencart shops sharing the same image folder. So: Shop 1:

/home/example/public_html/opencart/

Shop 2:

/home/example/public_html/opencart2/

Image folder:

/home/example/public_html/image/

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks in advance Myaccountaccess/Activate

I would not suggest that without the use of an extension since there are more locations in the platform that may require hardcoded location of the image folder.

Good spot, moved.

The image folder in hard coded in catalog/model/tool/image.php, so you would need to modify that file.
