[SOLVED][Drupal ImageCache] Imagecache modifying storage path after server migration
A Drupal user encountered a scenario where when the Drupal site with an existing ImageCache path was moved to a new server, the ImageCache created new paths with the old image paths still in existence, i.e. adding a 'files' entry to the existing path. This basically meant that the new image path was being added to the existing image path when the presets were called. If you are facing a scenario that is similar to the one the user is facing in your Drupal installation then read on to know the solution.
Here is the fix.
- The simplest solution would be to chmod the additional files folder to 000
- However it does no correct or address the issue which casued the files directory to be created in the first place.
The complete solution is as follows.
- Go to admin/content/types
- There choose the content type for which the issue occurs
- When you get there, Select manage fields
- Next we should configure Image field (field_image_cache)
- Go to admin/content/node-type/product/fields/field_image_cache>
- Open the additional Path Settings
- Delete the entry "files" in the "File path:" field
Hope that helps.
