Fairly large wiki, with 12,000 images and 46,000 pages.  This morning we
upgraded our database server to a newer machine.  All of the content, etc
works fine and nothing was lost, but now images no longer appear and are
replaced with their names.   Clicking on the name says image not found.

The images are still there on the server in the images dir.  For example.

can be found here

I've tried rebuildImages.php from the command line and that doesn't do the
trick.  Any thoughts?  Re-import them?

I'm guessing that updating the db somehow messed up mediawiki knowing the
exact path to the image, but I'm not sure about that.

thanks,
sean
