XF 1.4 Moved site to new server. Attachments now broken

[DGG]

I recently moved my site to another server. I did this by copying all of my public_html folder over to new server and then exporting and importing the database over using myphpadmin.

Everything now works exactly as before except that attachments aren't displaying and are showing up as broken images. The attachments folders (data and internal_data) were both copied over as-is, so I'm not sure why the attachments are broken.

Can someone please suggest a fix? Thanks!

You will need to also copy the data and internal_data folders to your new server.

Can you provide an example URL where it isn't working?

Those were copied over in their entirety since I copied the entire public_html folder. I've checked and those two folders are on the new server as well, with the same exact files as from the older server.

What's weird is that attachments aren't displaying in this thread: <removed>

But, they are displaying properly in this thread: <removed>

Please make sure the data and internal_data have a 777 permissions as well as the files in those folders.

Yep, I chmod 777 those two folders right after copying all files over.

If you look in the internal_data/attachments/0/ directory, what's the highest number file there? 22?

Yes, 22.

What about the files in those two folders? Are they also 777.

No. So files within the directories needed to be 777 as well?
On the old site, I never had to chmod all files/folders within data and internal_data folders.

Yes.

Those files are physically missing then. I'm not sure if the files were migrated before the DB. You can try recopying the files over (from data/ and internal_data/).

Ah you solved it, thanks. Somehow the newer files (> 22) weren't copied over. I've found them and copied them over so everything now displays. Thank you Mike (and Andy)!
