Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Hello
After migrating to a new hosted siteground account, we notice that filefield files and images cannot be loaded in the "files" directory.
Files are loaded in the "files directory2 but the filefield of the node gets blank.
Drupal 6.19
"Private files" in file directory external to home_html
Many thanks for yr support

quicksketchThis sounds like you might have a problem with the file system permissions on your server. Make sure that Drupal has the ability to write to the files directory (and any subdirectories). Also make sure that your file paths are correct in the database. If you're using private files and the location of the private files directory has changed, you may need to bulk update all the paths in your "files" database table, because private file paths are absolute relative to the file system root.
This issue is over a year old, so I'm marking fixed directly. Please set back to active if you have further questions.
