It seems that on the FTP that some of Alec's photos were not there or available for me to grab.
For example
http://usmilitarypatches.joshtintner.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=698#top_display_mediaThat is showing the dummy thumbnail indicating I don't have the image. Now If I take the URL everything past the .com and append it to USMP site.
http://usmilitarypatches.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=698#top_display_mediaI can see what the image is supposed to look like. I go to view source and see what the image that is being referenced
I'm new here so sorry for this if its trivial.
I'm working with a new client that is wanting to transfer hosting services over to me. He has over 20K pictures in his gallery which can be viewed here
SITE 1
http://usmilitarypatches.com/galleryI have sucesfully imported the database on my server and I can view the gallery on my domain on my server so I know the import process worked.
Here is the development sever I have set up
SITE 2
http://usmilitarypatches.joshtintner.com/galleryOnce you are in the gallery you will see the "random section" at the bottom (ON PRODUCTION) SITE 1. if I inspect each element on the production site as it exists today I can see the location of each of the thumbnails. 1) I assume these files are created when someone adds a new asset to an album?
The current hosting provider is telling me that all they did was give me FTP access to the server yet I don't even see the missing files that are being referenced.
Please see screenshot attached.
USMP1 is showing that SITE 1 Or Productions image but when I look inside the FTP access they gave me no where do I even see 60-118.jpg in the folder. They are claiming the FTP access they gave me houses all the files that are actually on Production. Yet the item was created on my site SITE 2 which I can navigate to but no image is being shown reason. I find it hard to believe the current firm when they tell me "There has to be something in the programming of Copper Mine that's redirecting the images to a different folder location" I did a search of ALL the FTP files they gave me looking for that file name on my PC and no where do I see that in any folder.
How would files just "disappear like that"
I'm in need of help in understanding. I followed exactly the steps needed to move from one server to another on this site. It just seems odd to me that some of the files worked and others did not.
