File Storage Issue

[Chadi]

I recently moved album picture storage type from database to file system

It shows now "Album pictures are currently being stored in the file system with direct access to thumbnails"

However, when viewing profiles or album lists, no full size, original images appear at all, just alt text. Thumbnails do show up though.

Full picture file path is (chmodded 0777)

This these methods
Full Picture File Path: /home/username/public_html/images/albums
Thumbnail File Path: /home/username/public_html/images/albums/thumbnails
URL to Thumbnails: images/albums

I also tried "images/albums" for all 3 above, same issue.

I disabled the plugin/hook system and the problem is still there.

Ran These (upon each change)
Rebuilt Thumbnail
Rebuild Recently Updated Albums

I even deleted vbseo portion from htaccess file as well (plugin disabled too). Same problem.

thumbnails work

Source example:
vbseo enabled:
<img src="http://www.talkjesus.com/members/jcovington-albums-+friend+++king...-picture180-1st-sermon.jpg" alt="1st sermon" class="tcattdimgresizer" border="0" />

vbseo disabled:
<img src="picture.php?albumid=363&amp;pictureid=1891" alt="Red Carpet" class="tcattdimgresizer" border="0" />


Click any thumbnail, shows only image alt attribute text instead.

Same issue with forumhome thumbnails too. Just text.

Same problem here.. Any help would be appreciated.

Sometimes, using 777 permissions on directories (with some server configurations) make things go funky. Try 775.

That only applies to those such as Linux servers running suPHP enabled, not w/o it though.

Same issue with vbseo disabled and htaccess renamed to htaccess.bak (root folder).

With above disabled:

Source code
http://www.talkjesus.com/picture.php?albumid=178&pictureid=783

Enabled vbseo

And yet, thumbnails work fine because they point to the right path. It makes no sense at all.

Problem found (thanks to vbseo staff help)

readfile function was disabled on my server's php.ini settings.

I had to remove that from the disable_functions line to get images working again.
