upload backup of sql database - pictures don't show

I just moved my social networking script to a different host.

I made a backup of my MySQL database. I then created a new database on new server, and uploaded the backup to this.

All profiles and profile information work perfect. The only problem is that the profile pictures no longer show up.

Does anybody have a clue to what went wrong?

I've already contacted the hosting companies and the seller of this script, and nobody has an answer.

 

Check full picture path, including cpanel username if exists.

 

Were the pictures in the database? Or did it only contain the link to the pictures?

 

They were in the database. Exactly how I'm not sure.

 

This has nothing to do with the database itself, but path to the pictures. As pictures cannot be stored in a database.

Check again full path of pictures.

 

What?

It is possible that they were corrupted as a part of the import export process. Are you getting any error messages? Or just no display?

 

All the rest of the info. in the database is working perfectly.

Members, passwords, mail, profile info., etc. all showed up perfectly after the transfer.

Only profile images did not make the transfer.

 

Do you think it has something to do with file/folder permissions?

Either post your url here or pm it to me and I will take a look. What I fear happened is that the binary images were corrupted in the process of export/import. I am really not exactly sure how mysql stores them. I just know it can be done that way because I was as surprised as bigone is going to be the next time he reads this thread.
