document and files - can't preview images
Hi,
I have made filesystem as default and all setting of filesystem remains the same. I created a library called "MSC images" and uploaded one image. Now how can I preview this image?
When I got to Edit propertise of images, I see a button called "open the file". If I click on it, the url takes me to http://domainname/docs/msc-images/koala.jpg?Status=Temp&sfvrsn=4 and get 404 error.
Looking at the link, I see a folder called docs which I don't have. If I browse to the folder, I see a file named "d44059b0-e779-4d9b-8f48-535017cb404f" created in App_Data\Storage\FileSystem\
How can I preview images?
regards,
Hi Rabindra,
Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.
You can't find a docs folder in your project, because docs is actually a root url (part of the url, not a physycal folder). However, the default root url for image libraries is images. You can verify this by going to Administration -> Settings -> Libraries -> Images (take a look at the attached screenshot for further reference). Have you made modifications to the Root url property? Usually, you are able to change its name and then the urls of your images will be generated with the custom root url in them. Is it possible that you have published the image and then changed the value of this property? In this case the url of the image would have been generated already with the old value of the root url, but the images would be located under the new root url, so when the old url is requested you would get a 404 Not found error, simply because images aren't there anymore. However, every time you publish an item the manager.RecompileItemUrls() method is called and the url for the item is generated again. This means that even if somehow your url is constructed improperly, if you publish the image again, the correct, updated url should be constructed. Please try that and let us know if the issue persists.

Hi Jen,
No, I haven't changed anything. This is a clean install on my Windows 7 machine.
All I did was created a filesystem library and uploaded a picture.
@Markus: I am using Professional edition.

Hello Rabindra,
Did you try the proposed solution - to republish the item? Also, does this happen with this image only or with all images and is it repoducible on other projects?
Kind Regards,
