    I have the same issue with the browser,

    The browser shows folders only and if there are files in the folder they dont show anything, for example, if I make the filemanager path "/home/***/public_html", nothing is shown, even folders are not shown, and when I change the path to "/assets" which have under it folders only and no files, it will show the folders under it (images, media) but if I added any file in the assets folder, then nothing is shown , even the image and media folders are not shown.

    I followed all the steps mentioned above but no luck, although I think it is not related because of this:
    - in my localhost it is working but when I migrate to online server it is not working, although everything else looks OK ( I revised the steps of migration to online several times).
    - without changing anything in the files or server settings, I installed a new database, and the browser is working. but when I point back to the old database it is not.
    - upgrading to 2.1.2 does not help.

    Did anyone had such issue or has any clue what could be the problem.

    Revo 2.11 (traditional)
    PHP: 5.2.9
    MySql server: 5.0.77

      Did you run the setup again after moving?

        Thanks for the reply,

        Yes I did and checked the steps in that document and other documents several times but still no luck.

        I also uninstalled all packages especially tinymce just to make sure nothing is interfering. still the same problem.

            Sorry about hiatus, I’ve been away.

            SplittingRed suggested:

            This sounds like your install did not overwrite all the files (file permissions, perhaps?) or that you have JS cached in your browser. It is definitely fixed in 2.1.2; I’ve tested it in all browsers twice.

            I’ve labouriously gone through the install to check for overwrites. All permissions seem to be correct, and all files, (bar those obviously moved as part of the upgrade to new locations, leaving behind the old versions) seem to have been overwritten. All directory permissions are 755 and all files are 644 - the permissions regime seems correct.

            To make absolutely sure I do not have JS cached in any of my browsers, I removed one altogether, deleted its temporary file cache, reinstalled it clean and still can’t get past this issue.

            It isn’t the compressed/uncompressed JS thing. I have and have always had, some other problem.

            I am running my test site in a sub-domain: everything else works fine - just these images in the MODx resource browser and in TinyMCE show as empty boxes. I can’t use Gallery, either - same issue.

            A suggestion elsewhere that it might be a paths issue with config.inc.php proved fruitless as well. http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,66418.msg374495.html#msg374495

            It occurred to me that either I have a peculiar server/host configuration problem (my config is below), or, perhaps, that the sub-domain location might not be a usual part of a test-bed set-up. Could it be an imagemagik issue? I’m not familiar with it - it didn’t seem to be needed with Evo.

            I’m still stuck.

            To recap: I can insert images using either browser - MODx or TinyMCE - I just can’t see the image thumbnails themselves, and have to remember which image I want by its filename, and select the empty box (in Firefox (or in Chrome and IE the broken image icon)) with the correct filename underneath.

              I have the exact same problem as Nic, where the image thumbnails refuse to show, only the broken image icon (using Chrome and version 2.1.3). I’m simply trying to set the /assets folder as the default for the resource browser (so the client using the CMS isn’t looking at the web root folder). This shouldn’t be that hard!

              Attached are screenshots of my settings, as well as what I see. Please help!

              • I think you have incorrect File System settings see the my screen shot for correct settings, and adjust accordingly. It works on 2.1.3 for me on IIS7.5 and I would assume it would work on any other server.

                  I’ve tried that in the past, and just tried it again, with no luck.

                  Do you think it could have something to do with the fact that I’m currently in development with this site, and the url is structured like this?

                  http://future.thefutureforward.com/~username

                  Screenshots attached.

                  • I would suggest using FireBug: http://getfirebug.com/html or similar to inspect what Url is be generated for the image. Not sure about the ~username, that might very well be throwing it off. Maybe the assets Url should be ~username/assets/.

                      I tried appending the ~username, with no luck.

                      Here’s the URL being generated with my previous settings of "assets/" and relative set to "yes":
