The solution to the this problem is probably quite easy but when you are in a panic you don’t think straight.

I built an EE version of the client’s site on another server package. When I was finished, the client had the domain name transfered from the old Windows server to the newer Unix server that I had built on.

As soon as the domain name was switched I changed the file path in the configuration. The pages and style sheets and databases are now all working on the new domain name but the images are not showing up.

I used the global variable in my image paths so I thought it would kick in as well with the domain change.

Could you please help me out with this issue?

Thanks for your time.

If you look at the image link directly, you’ll see all that is missing is the slash.  So just add that before images in your image call.  Or you can put the slash in Admin -> System Preferences -> General Config.

BIG SMILE
Thanks Lisa that did the trick.

If I might slip one other question in here. Feel free to split the thread.
With the change in server domains, how do I find the correct “Server Path to Upload Directory”? Is there a full proof resource from which I can simply cut and paste?

Put this in a php file in the directory you want to know the path for: kb article.

All set now? =)
