Moving several sites to new server resource files not showing
Hi I need to move several sites to a new server. Two are in progress but in both cases the resource files are not showing up in CMS or on the web pages. I have checked the files are on the server, resource folder is writeable along with the bucket folders. buckets.php paths are correct. Any ideas?

Site 2 Running You are running Perch 2.8.24
What process are you following to move the sites?
I ftp the files from Dreamweaver to the new server and and copy the database over with mysqladmin. I can see everything is in place, etc must be missing something silly?
Yes, that should be fine. Can you clarify exactly what you're seeing when you say "resource files are not showing up" ?
I think it is path issue, but just cannot find it. [link to image] (https://wood-leigh.co.uk/Screen%20Shot%202016-05-09%20at%2018.22.53.png) When I check the buckets nothing is showing up even though the files are on the server.
What entries do you have in your
config/buckets.phpfile?<?php return array( 'datasheets' => array( 'web_path' => 'https://domain.co.uk/cms/resources/datasheets', 'file_path' => '/var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/cms/resources/datasheets'),
'reports' => array( 'web_path' => 'https://domain.co.uk/cms/resources/reports', 'file_path' => '/var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/cms/resources/reports'),
'pricelist' => array( 'web_path' => 'https://domain.co.uk/cms/resources/pricelist', 'file_path' => '/var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/cms/resources/pricelist'),
'kpi' => array( 'web_path' => 'https://domain.co.uk/cms/resources/kpi', 'file_path' => '/var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/cms/resources/kpi')
);
Just a thought, I moved a site that had all the resource files in default and does not use buckets. It works fine on the new server.
Another thought the files originally where load to httpsdocs and now will be in httpdocs/ ...
What URL are the broken images referencing?

Can you show me the exact URL that is 404ing?
Sorry they are in protected directories
Ok. I only wanted to see how the path was wrong. I don't need to visit the URL.
Let me know if you get it sorted.
I think the problem might be around the buckets resources. Could I move all the resources in the buckets to within the just the resources directory, remove buckets.php from the config file would the resources be found by default? Or do I need to edit anything in the database as well? I moved another site to the same server without any issues but all the resources are within the resources directory ie no bucket rescources
Check the paths you're getting to the images that are giving a 404. Look and see what you're getting and compare it to what you expect those paths to be.
Sorry to waste your time Drew .. I have moved several sites now and all assets including buckets arrived safely on new server. I think my issue was not waiting long enough before the DNS had resolved, so I was seeing weird things.
