Just fixed it. You have to set all permissions for the folders and files on the site. The directory permissions does not make a difference for the folder of the pictures. Set all for write, read and execute to on. Test the directory and the image in a browser. I could see the picture after all permissions were set and all media flies and background images were visible as well on wordpress.

I have the same problem and used the same methods. Nothing did help except to link external via public URL. The media folder is loading the image but does not display it. My site is in development at the moment.
