So, I have a strange issue with Drupal imagecache.
When I upload an image, the image is correctly stored in a folder, but imagecache doesn't generate the other cached images.
It doesn't work anymore after I moved the website from development server to the production environment.
The production server is IIS7.
All the "files" subfolder have both write/read permissions, imagecache module is supposed to create folders inside "files" folder.
The GD toolkit is correctly enabled (in Drupal report, imagecache module is correctly enabled). It is php 5.2.
thanks
Check out Imagecache's troubleshooting guide in the handbooks. In particular, check the logs for errors explaining where the process is breaking down.
Also, check the paths that are included in your pages and make sure they are still correct, now that you've moved the site to a production server. This issue has some more tips, specific to the path problem.
Finally, if none of that helps, check the issue queue. There are several issues related to IIS.
99% of the time when I have an issue with imagecache not creating images it has something to do with file system permissions. Verify that your web server is able to write to all of the files/imagecache directories recursively.

I would like to have a scalable infrastructure for my wordpress site. We currently have the following:
A cloudfront that serves the website
A load balancer and target group with only one registered target in it
An RDS.
The WP server (on which config, and wp-content is).
We have several thousands of pages in the wordpress instance, and sometimes we need to make changes, invalidate caches in the cloudfront to serve the new content. Doing this on a lot of pages can create a huge load on the server, and make it unreachable or super slow. So we thought about adding an autoscaling group, which would spin up new instances if the load is too high, and remove then when necessary.
To do so, I believe we need to move the wp-content folder to a shared directory (between all the servers). Is it a correct assumption first of all?
So I naturally created an EFS, which I mounted on a copy of my wordpress server, then rsync all the files with permissions in the efs.
Then as suggested all over the net, I added the following in my wp-config.php:
define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/mnt/efs/wp-content'); where /mnt/efs/wp-content is directory on the efs.
From this point, the website worked as expected, I could see some traffic on the EFS monitoring page when viewing pages.
To make sure all the files are correctly shared and copied in the wp-content, I deleted /data/app/wp-content/ folder (it shouldn't be used, as I referenced wp-content to be in my efs).
And my site started acting weirdly. Some formatting disappeared, buttons are native and not customized etc. The console shows a lot of 404 also with following errors:
www.mysite.eu/:1 Access to font at 'https://www.mysite.fr/wp-content/themes/mysite/dist/fonts/icomoon/icomoon.ttf' from origin 'https://www.mysite.eu' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
GET https://www.mysite.fr/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/lib/bower/font-awesome/webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff net::ERR_FAILED 200
Looks like there are no fonts, no plugins, no themes anymore.
So, quite a few questions:
Do I need to keep both local wp-content and shared wp-content? If so, if I install a plugin or a theme, would it be available for other servers as well?
Do I really need an EFS? Or data is fully stored in DB, and wp-content can live on its own for each server?
Are there any other steps in moving the wp-content folder? Maybe specific steps for some plugins?
Is my architecture lacking anything for what I would like to achieve (scale up and down based on demand), or does that make sense?
Thank you!
Don't put wp_content on a shared file system (s3 bucket). It contains a lot of theme and plugin code, and running code from s3 can cause performance trouble and crank up IOPS costs. Instead, use a plugin to offload your site's uploaded media files (jpg, etc) to the s3 bucket, then clone the site.
Use a shared persistent object cache if you can. redis is a good choice.
AWS has a tutorial about doing this, without the cache, on Lightsail. https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/launch-load-balanced-wordpress-website/
For some reason my admin screen just hangs with some javascript errors. I have it installed on xampp on windows 7 ultimate 64bit. What could be causing this? Ill post a screenshot of the errors any help would be nice! p.s. This is my first time installing silverstripe ever so be nice. :)
This sort of things usually occurs when combined asset files cannot be created. Make sure the web server user has write access to the assets/ and assets/_combinedfiles folders, then go to your-site.com/admin/pages?flush=1.
Alternatively, since this is a local install, run in dev mode. There are instructions in the documentation on how to set this.
As indicated by #simon_w, this issue occurs due to the folder permissions:
In your local environment, in addition to the way via yml config, you can just put the following in _config.php inside mysite folder.
Director::set_environment_type("dev");
In dev mode, the installation doesnt need to write to assets/_combinedfiles. However, you had better have write permission for assets folder anyway.
So, just increase permissions for assets and directories under it. Uploaded files are also stored there, if not sufficient permission, you can't upload files from the admin panel. Other functionalists may also be affected.
I have to move an existing Drupal site from one server to another. I've done so by doing a mysql database export/import and copying over the files to the new server. On the new system, the root page comes up fine but if I try to go to any deeper directory levels I get a 404 Not Found Error.
so drupal.newserver.com -> works fine
but drupal.newserver.com/user -> gives me a 404 and happens,same for all subdirectories
Is there something that I'm missing that is part of a drupal export? Could it be related to the structure of the /sites directory which is under the webserver's docroot?- which has a folder named after the old server (ie drupal.oldserver.com but not drupal.newserver.com? Also, I noticed that there are _htaccess files and .hta files but not .htaccess files in the site files that I've copied over.
Sorry if I'm asking a bleedingly obvious question - I'm very new to Drupal. Thank you!
Check whether the clean url is enabled in your web server. To check try this:
drupal.newserver.com/?q=user.
Just to let anyone who might come across via a google search - I was able to get this to work . It turns out that while mod_rewrite was enabled, what I had to do was to enable the AllowOverride directive for the web directory in httpd.conf to be set to ‘All’. If it’s not set to this, the server won’t respect the .htaccess rules you put into the drupal directory. It’s been a while since I’ve worked with apache config files so it took a while to finally piece it together. The main breakthrough came when I realized that if I turned off clean-urls then the links worked but looked ugly and then was able to research clean_url.
I have a problem when trying to manually upload a new plugin in wordpress.
Uploading media is working perfectly, and also automatically install plugins work as it should, but manually uploading plugins generate an error message:
The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11.
I have checked permissions on wp-content and uploads and it is set to Everyone. I do not think there is anything wrong with permissions since I can upload images, and I see them inside my uploads folder.
I think there might be a problem with the slashes beeing incorrect, does anyone else have this problem?
I'm using IIS7, Windows Server 2008 and Wordpress 3.0.1. Everything is installed with Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
I know this is way late in answering, but I hope someone may find it useful.
This is most likely a problem with the settings involving the temporary upload location.
Here is what I did to solve a similar problem:
Ensure that you are editing the correct initialization file. Putting:
in a test.php file and executing it from your web browser will get you the setting.
Look for the setting for "Loaded Configuration File"
In that configuration file search for (or add if missing) the following setting:
upload_tmp_dir = "c:\inetpub\temp\uploads"
Ensure that c:\inetpub\temp\uploads exists and is writeable by everyone. You can tighten this up with specifying the IUSR account if you wish.
Recycle/Restart the IIS worker process. Your choice here as there are a number of ways to accomplish this.
I found a good bit of this info by referring to c:\tmp\php_errors.txt. The fastcgi.logging should be enabled by default on windows installations.
Just wanna add a solution to the good Harold's answer for PHP.
Despite changing the setting "upload_tmp_dir", I was still getting the same error message The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Wordpress/wp-content/uploads.
So i have changed also the setting "upload_max_filesize"
upload_max_filesize=16M
(16M or greater depending on the wordpress's themes size file)
Hope it helps someone who was stuck like me.

I have recently moved a drupal site. (both servers run on a debian based LAMP stack) Everything works great here, including the uploading of images via a CCK filefield. Original url:
dev.example.com/foo
Deploying it to a test folder on the production server to a test folder for an environmental shakedown cruise lead it here:
www.example.com/foo
Everything works here too, including image uploads. After adjusting sites/default/settings.php, then making it readonly again, I renamed the folder to its production name:
www.example.com/bar
Everything works fine here except for image uploading. I've adjusted the webroot variable within settings.php .
Things I have tried so far:
Gave php system user write permissions to sites/default/files (images are set to go in sites/default/files/images but imagecache just puts them in sites/default/files)
Enabled file php file uploading for www.example.com/bar/sites/default/files
Are there any other configuration settings I should be looking out for here? I'm running low on relevant solutions.
Edit: I had quite the typo there, I adjusted sites/default/settings.php, not sites/default.settings.php .
Your question is slightly confusingly framed. default.settings.php has no impact on Drupal -- its merely a template. The file that contains the actual database connection information and other configuration is settings.php.
You may also want to look at your .htaccess file in your root Drupal folder and try changing the RewriteBase directive to the folder you are accessing your site on. Usually you should not have to change the $base_url directive in the settings.php file that you may/may not have done. Reverse that change for now if you have (you may need to play around with that later though).
imagecache will always upload the image derivatives in sites/default/files but imagefield will upload the original image in the folder you specify (within sites/default/files). You will get a setting for the imagefield under Manage Fields->[Name of Image field]->Configure under Path Settings.
Please google to understand the difference between imagecache and imagefield. Make sure your sites/default/files (and subfolders) are writable by the apache user (usually www-data).
In such situations, its usually a good idea to pick up a book on apache (if you haven't already) and try to understand how it works. It will be time consuming but will help you out in the future when you encounter configuration issues like this.
This worked for me. When having issues uploading images to a cck field, I gave write permissions to directory:
sites/default/files/field/image
