I recently moved a magento installation to a new server.
All went fine, I got a new beast to run my ecommerce very quickly, but unfortunatly I noticed that tons of images are missing... Some are there and some are not... what can be gone wrong? I rsynced the media directories, it seems to me that the new location is trying to find them under another media/catalog path...
How can I fix it? Actually I'm doing it by hand re-uploading images, but this is not a quick solution.
Not enough information to locate the problem.
1) But in most cases problem is in folder and file names. If you copy files from windows pc, you lose some files.
Example:
both files will be in D or d folder, not in both.
2) Second possibility
For some reasons original files on your old server were lost, but cache files are available - so visually website is fine.
3) Third possibility
You don't have enough permissions for some media files to copy them.
