Images lost in 1.2.1-1.5.2 upgrade (on the way to 2.0)

Seems the error I get here is the cause:

Where were your images located before the upgrade? Did you back up your site before the move? Your blog is looking for /blog/images/, did you delete that folder when upgrading? Check file permissions as well, if you didn’t delete or overwrite the images.

Indeed. The directory has permissions 755 and all the images are 666. What else might I be missing?

And the files are really there… Still. And they worked before the upgrade.

out of curiousity, in your posts, are you refering to the absolute path, or the relative?

Absolute.

All the images on my website are gone too. It’s probably something with the .htaccess. I didn’t understand the step in the upgrade instructions about that. I probably did it wrong.

I undid all the changes to the .htaccess file regained access to the images on the rest of the site, but not to the blog images…

Does .htaccess still have mod_rewrite’s for your blogs to have permalinks?

What is the path for your blog’s images and how does it differ from the path of images in the remainder of the site? Do they reside under a common directory?

I don’t think so. I reverted back to the backed up version of the .htaccess file.

My blogs images are under https://www.barakyedidia.com/blog/images/ the rest of my site’s images are scattered among 20 or so directories under https://www.barakyedidia.com/

OK. I fixed it. There was excess white space in the .htaccess file.

Thanks to all of you for your help.

Now on to 2.0!
