I just tarred up and copied over my entire site to a new server. I've
dumped and recovered the database and untarred everything on the new box
and everything is working fine - except most of my images are missing.
Both boxes are urning unix.
I've checked the mediawiki_install_root/images directory for permissions
or access problems but all seems fine. On a lot of the pages the logo
is missing. I would have to say at quick glance any uploaded and linked
images are gone too. The LocalSettings.php on both servers are identical.
When I relocated my wiki I nested its install root within another file
system so it isn't located exactly where it was first installed. My
thought was this wouldn't be the problem unless pointers to the image
files locations were being stored in the database. On a lark I ran a
program called rebuildImages.php --dry-run. Its output indicated there
wasn't much to be done (0 of 2 rows). So I didn't run it without the
--dry-run flag.
So I'm at a loss. Is there a document that explains MediaWiki's
processing of image files or maybe that describes in detail how
Mediawiki operates? If anybody could help me find a solution it would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
