Hello,

I dunno if its related but I am so desperate that I dare to ask here. Sorry.

My Ubercart shop is showing
/files/imagecache/product_list/CIMG6019.JPG

on CATALOG page of the shop when it should me showing

/files/imagecache/catalog/CIMG6019.JPG

I still cannot understand why as this /catalog/ image is created when i force browser to show it.

Thanks a lot.

Great job!
One quick note, because it wasnt completely working for me:
I was having issues seeing my file field thumbnails after doing what was recommended above, so instead of dropping a .htaccess in the sites/default/files dir, I dropped it in sites/default/files/imagecache and updated the rewrite rule to:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=sites/default/files/imagecache/$1 [L,QSA]

@Pabloid It’s all in the re-write rules. What can I say, I don’t really know how else to help.

Thanks Sci-Fi Si for this detailed tutorial!

I tried to follow your instructions, but since my drupal installation is in a subfolder I still have problems.
Can you suggest me something?

I tried to include RewriteBase /subfolder instruction, but with no good result.

Many thanks

I have the same exact problem as above but mine is a bit unusual. I tried everything, none of it works… what does work is when I totally delete the .htaccess file from the sites/default/files directory then go to my drupal homepage…

All the images are instantly created!

But when I go to add new content, the same .htaccess file that I deleted re-appears (is auto-created by the imagecache module) and I run into the same problem as before.. images don’t show up. I delete again, works great… add content, it fails…

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick answer Simon.

esnupv.org is UNIX with apache
esn.upv.es is WINDOWS 2008 with IIS7

I’m trying to move from A to B :-)

esn.upv.es is an alias of esn.webs.upv.es so that shouldn’t be a problem. In fact this URL is working (note the ‘webs’ in the domain):

http://esn.webs.upv.es/sites/default/files/catadevinos.jpg

It seems to me that the petition is never reaching the imagecache module…. Is that possible? How can I check it?

Thanks again for your help!

Try this:

Hey Jorge, I’m with you.. I’ve found IIS7 really very different from IIS6. 7 is a lot more like Unix than 6 ever was. You will find yourself dealing far more with scripts now than you ever did with IIS6. It’s not a bad thing tho’ IIS7 just takes a little bit of adapting to that’s all.

From what I can guess, you’re only problem will be with what your unix .htaccess file is doing – I take it that your web server is Apache?

I may speek a little bit of Spanish but the first thing I noticed your server displaying (guessing 2008 with IIS7?) is this:

Error del servidor en aplicación “ESN.WEBS.UPV.ES” – Look at the URL! it’s adding WEBS in between the address you need.

The rest of this stuff actually looks fine to me and there’s no reason it shouldn’t work – fix the above problem and all of these other things should go away -

http://esn.upv.es/sites/default/files/imagecache/header/catadevinos.jpg

http://esn.upv.es/sites/default/files/catadevinos.jpg – working!

Dirección URL solicitada http://esn.upv.es:80/index.php?q=sites/default/files/imagecache/header/catadevinos.jpg
Ruta de acceso física E:\vhosts\esn.webs.upv.es\httpdocs\index.php

All the best
