Typo3 page media (images) missing after transfer to new host

Question

I've transferred a Typo3 installation to the new host, steps performed are:

• Copy files and exported database from old host
• uploading files and creating database at new host
• changing config to match new hosts database settings
• upgrading typo3 installation to latest version (at that time, current version is 6.1.3)
• configured ImageMagick because this was missing at the new server

At this point, i noticed pages in the frontend where missing images. The website uses the imagecycle plugin.

Checks I have performed:

• folder permissions
• uploads/fileadmin folders checked if they contained the missing images (yes, they did)
• cleared db temp files as well folder temp directories

Still missing the images on the frontend as well in the backend under the media tab of the page settings.

What else can I try?

Update After some help we discovered there was a huge change in the file storage of Typo3. I've upgraded the installation from 4.5 to 6.1.3 which probably caused the loss of the image-links. Images are moved from the /uploads dir to the /fileadmin/_migrated dir. Is there any way to relink these images, or will i have to add all images to the pages manually again?

Update 2 Unfortunately I didn't find any solution and ended up re-linking the images to the pages 1 by 1.

Answer 1

You can clear the Typo3 cache in the install tool. It's also safe to truncate the cache tables with phpmyadmin.
