New images not showing after upgrade

I recently upgraded from 3.5 to 3.7.

Now, when I add an article I can still use my old pictures and everything is OK. However, if I upload a new picture it will not appear in the user end of my site. Even though my admin version of the article tells me the file has been linked to the image...

Anyone have any ideas what is happening here?

Have you viewed the user portion of the site while logged in as admin to see if it makes any differences? If it does:

Does the anonymous user have the following in their role:

content  	 read  	 Section( Media )

I've noticed some differences when upgrading in the way media access is handled.

thanks for your reply :-)

Yeah, I already tried that, and I have tried playing around with the roles/permissions...

It seems like the problem is on the _upload_ side...

My images are all stored in this folder:
site\var\corporate\storage\images\media\images\imagename

Each image has a folder, and several different sizes of the image are stored in that folder.
My new images however, are stored only in one size. Seems that something is amiss in my storage settings?

(I am running on a winXP, so file permissions is not an issue)

Check your ImageMagick configuration if you use it.

Check if problem also appears when you switch to GD.

settings/override/image.ini.append.php

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=false

Clear all cache and ImageAliases cache.

Hmm you upgraded to 3.7 and probably updated PHP to 4.4 as well? If yes, then GD is not enabled by default on PHP 4.4 Windows Binaries (GD is an tool which allows PHP to modify images). Either install Imagemagic OR update your php.ini file. More specifically check that ;extension=php_gd2.dll is NOT commented out in php.ini file (usally Windows uses an php.ini file in c:\windwos\, but do an phpinfo(); to see where the php.ini file resides).

Note that if you install imagemagic then you must also edit your image.ini file.

yay !

That did it :-)
I altered this part

[ImageMagick]  
IsEnabled=false

and verified that my extension=php_gd2.dll was not commented out.

So now I can upload images again! :-)

It seems that the quality for some pictures has now been reduced (pixelated).
JPEGs seem to be doing ok though. Is that the preferred format when using GD?

Anyways - thanks for the help EZcrew !
