Picture attachments stopped working.
 

I recently moved my forum from a shared hosting service to a virtual private server. Pretty much everything went OK, a few minor glitches but nothing serious.

One thing though did stop working, picture attachments in posts no longer works. The process itself works OK, you can select a pic from your PC and upload it but the thumbnail does not show. All you get is a little square where the thumbnail should be. No settings have been changed, I really can't figure out what is going on. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

What is the path in the html for the missing image? (view the html source or right click it and get the info).

This is what I found:

Hmm...to be honest that didn't help me a lot (but it's my fault for asking). Do you have your forum set to save attachments in the database or the file system? And if it's the file system, did you copy over the directory they were being saved in?

Currently being stored in the database and always have been since I installed vB

What are the results from maintenance > diagnostics > upload?

This is the exact message when I run that:

No errors occurred while opening the uploaded file for reading.

It's bizarre, everything appears to be OK, it just doesn't work.

Is there a list of all appropriate/related PHP modules that might be needed for the thumbnail part to work? Maybe my new server is missing one or more.

That isn't all it says - it should give some php settings along with it. What are they?

Here is a screenshot:

What is in your error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host)?

Also, have your host set up an upload_tmp_dir for you and make sure he enters the full path into the php.ini file.
