images not showing after uploading to host

  • Hi.

    I’m adding images to my website (www.telecoindustrial.com)
    To do my testing, I use a local machine (cacharrito). When I’m happy with the result, I upload the whole site and the db to the hosting. Locally, everything works fine. But in the hosting, I can see images only witj konqueror.

    After I export the db to the hosting, I change the name of the website directly in the db.

    I suspect there can be something in this exporting process, but I can’t see what. If I log in the admin desktop of the website (in the hosting), I can see the images and the names are right, the links point to the image. I can even see the images if I open the image library. BUT if I try to change the header image back to the same, I can choose that image but I can’t see it as an option with all the other images.

    Any idea? There must be a lot of people moving sites from one machine to another. Is there a better procedure?

    thanks

    Hi.

    I tried the If You Want Your Old Blog To Still Work part, which is my case: I want my new blog to work (obviously) and I’ll want my old one to be still available.

    If I undestood right, I have to backup everything, change the url and homepage (which would make the blog unusable in the old machine) and upload/export to the new location. There it should work and then restore things in the old place.

    This is what I did and the result is the same. To make sure, I stopped apache&mysqld in my machine and I have no images.

    I also tried to replace https://cacharrito (my testing machine) with https://www.telecoindustrial.com (my domain) in the exported db (the sql file). Now I get no image but also a weird layout. The main menu is not the one I was expecting (maybe an old version), the header image is the default one, and still no uploaded images. Actually, the images might work or might not, I don’t know, because the image widget settings are gone.

    so messed up…
