NO DIRECTORY OR IT IS EMPTY

[hullodare]

When I am in the "edit exhibition data" window .....on the right side of the window there is a tab that reads Thumbnail directory and below that, Microthumbnail directory. I get the message below the reads as follows:

--- NO DIRECTORY OR IT IS EMPTY ---
If there is no directory yet, EE will create
it at first upload to this exhibition.

Why does it show that the directory is empty when on my actual web site the thumbnails and microthumbnails display perfectly?

Thank you.

I asked the same question about 2 weeks ago. Here is Pekka's response.


The question why in the Exhibition Editor the thumbnails are not showing up in the Directory View: each exhibition in EE has its own thumb and microthumb path. If you have created an exhibition, created specific thumb paths for it and have not uploaded anything successfully you do not see any thumbs there. Note that normally it's ok quite to share same thumb and microthumb paths between all exhibitions - only limitation here is the limit how many files OS filesystem can hold in a folder. Reasons to keep separate thumb paths may be e.g. that you want to keep track of files better (when backing up), or place thumbs on another server for certain exhibition.

When I had this problem it was due to an error in my path setting. I'd checked it several times without noticing the typo. Once I'd corrected it all was OK

Thanks you for the responses. I'll give the paths a close look.
