Moved to a new server - Clear caches - images disappeared

Hi

A ez Site 3.6.10 was moved in november 2007 to a new server by the webhosting company.
Apart from a problem with "umlauts" everything looked ok.

There were no content changes until mid of march 2008:
The user tried to upload a new image, but it wasn't shown in front end, either back end. Also no error message.
I tried the same with 'admin'. The same behaviour.
After some research we figured out, that the space limit is reached. Our "logical" conclusion was
1. Request for more space
2. Remove not used objects.

Point 1 was not done in hours, so we did point 2 in the form of "Clear <b>all caches</b>" in the admin window/back end...
... and the result is, that the images in the front and back end are no longer visible. ;(

So, my guess is, that the problem was not really related with the disk space limitation. But related with the move and ...?

Any idea, help, etc. what could cause this problem? I've found 1 bug which sounds similiar, but with an upgrade to version 3.10 / 4.x

Thanks in advance

PS: I know that 3.6.10 is an old version, but sometimes there are points against an upgrade.

Thanks for the response.

I already checked and searched the forums. Found 1 or 2 similar things with misconfiguration. The most of them, are set correct from my side. I guess.

- Anonymous can read the Media Section
"Anonymous content read Section( Standard , Media )"

- oooohhhhh. I checked the error_log from the web server and found
<b>"sh: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory"</b>

With this phrase I found the solution.
On the new server, ImageMagick was not properly configured. My solution was to disable

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=false

ImageMagick in the .ini file called image.ini.append.php in the override section.

Now it looks like it is working.

thanks
