I was building a site for a client and all imagecache stopped working before I uploaded to the live server.
When I uploaded, all of a sudden imagecache stopped working. I checked the usual things (permissions, original image exists) and everything was fine.
After some debugging I found that:
- imagecache_cache() checks to see if the file exists using file_create_path()
- file_create_path() checks the temp directory before it checks the files/ directory using file_directory_temp()
- file_directory_temp() gets the temp directory using variable_get('file_directory_temp', NULL)
Great! So I go into the variables table and delete file_directory_temp.
But the problem is still there. Mre debugging:
- variable_get() can load variables from cache and not from the database using cache_get('variables', 'cache')
Ok, so I go into the cache table and delete variables.
Problem Solved!
