I've copied my forum from one server to another using a different directory structure. After that, attachments didn't display anymore.

The problem was that full paths are stored in the fud26_attch table. A simple update fixed the problem.

Now the question: Wouldn't it be better to just store relative paths? Doing so will make the forum more transportable.

Best regards.

You can fix it with a simple replace operation. Storing file paths in DB allows for reduction in real-time operations the forum needs to perform.

In that case, can we make a note of this in the documentation or setup a wiki for such purposes. If this info was readily available, it would have saved me a lot of time trying to figure out what going on.

update fud26_attach set location = replace(location,
        '/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/',
        '/var/www/vhosts/mysiste.com/httpdocs/');

Fair enough, I'll add this to our online docs.
