database rebuild - all pictures are gone  

please help!!

When I would click to choose the ebay catagory on an auction lot. I was getting an error - no disk space or something like that.

So I closed aw2k and did a database rebuild.
there did not appear to be any errors - it went fine - and finished.
then I re-open aw2k
NO PICTURES -
the tabs are there like the pictures are - but there are no pictures.
I closed aw2k
Tell me what to do to get my pictures back.
thanks

Hi,

Hummm, without a backup it is a bit of a challenge to restore the images. When was the last time you did a backup?

long long long time ago.

I'll email tom

I also have to leave now - so I won't beable to get back to this for a few hours.

I think there must be a fix. the image file is 59mb the pictures are there. its just some reason they don't show in the program.

thanks for you help so far.

Re: database rebuild - all pictures are gone new [re: globalduk]  

Hi,

The tabs are there but the images are not... That is why no images are appearing on the tabs.... Without a backup of your database,,,it is going to be difficult to get the images back in easily... It can be done, but it is more time consuming.

For right now,,,do not add any images to the tabs. If you do, the LogImageX.jpg number is going to change. When you update auctions, live auctions will lose their images. Currently, all the images you have uploaded when you listed are still appearing in your auctions. So just don't add any images to the "Online" Auction lots.

Just a side note,,,, always do a backup before you rebuild. And it is a good idea to do a weekly backup anyway.. Backup more often if you enter in lots of data.

As for the insufficient disk space error. More than one issue could cause that. Your Hard drive could very well be full. You could have too many windows running at the same time.

Restart your computer and scan the hard drive for errors..

When do you have auctions ending??

tom hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Hopefully he isn't gone out of town or anything.

I'll let you know when he contacts me.

I have auctions ending all the time. I have over 400 running right now. so far I have not done anything with auction wizard because I don't want to change anything. So I hope tom comes online soon

thanks

Re: database rebuild - all pictures are gone new [re: globalduk]  

Hi,

First,,, just so you will know.,,if you post or email and I don't get right back.,,we are in the middle of the worse ice storm I have seen in years. Our power has been off for hours..They said it could be off for as long as 4 days. So my sweet husband got the big generator out and was ready to hook it up when the electricity came back on. But it is really bad out with more on the way.. Generator is sitting ready to go should we lose power again But anyway,,, I may be slow on the draw until the ice is over...

The Auctions ending are not a problem...You can update and generate invoices as well as email--doing that is fine.. Even retrieve email, record payments. none of those functions are affected or will affect the image problem.

You might want to be sure your AW2K settings from removing images after auctions have ended is set up several days so the images won't be deleted until you an get it fixed.

OMG - i'm almost going to cry. :)

I've not done anything to aw2k in the hopes that this issue could be fixed and it CAN - tom just sent me a utility that should work perfect. I havn't done it yet - but again.

I can't sing the praises of AW2k enough. I always tell people this is the program to use.

THANK YOU!
