Is EZP unreliable?

On Friday 20.04 I got a problem with my images not scaling. (See my other post with title "Suddenly my images do not scale"). I thought it was a permission problem and other helpful users suggested various ideas but unfortunately none of them worked.

Today I thought I create a new ezp installation and transfer my settings from the problematic one to the fresh install. I backed up my database using MySQL Administrator. After installing the new ezp and using the same SQL database, I tranfered all my settings. I used the instructions on http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/configuration/backup_restore/move_to_new_provider to do it.
Afterwards I tried my new site only to find that it had the same problem... In desperation I tried again the problematic site and everything worked fine!!! I didn't change anything!!!

Now what do you think is this behavior reliable? Should I continue with ezp or start searching for a more reliable solution?

Your experiment only proves that the problem is consistent within your hosting environment, I wouldn't call it a proof of unreliability...

On the same hosting environment work two other sites without a problem. (yet)

The settings that you copied seem to be the common link between the two problematic installs. Since the problem is related to images, I would suggest a very close look at image.ini and all its overrides.

Hi,

Assuming external life forms/god/whatever don't play with your server, we can think that something change between the test that didn't work and the one that worked.

I might be that you cleared the cache and it took into account a new setting ? Anyway, that's likely to be something around image.ini and one of the override, or that GD/image magic isn't properly configured to deal with both jpeg/gif or whatever the format you use.

log and dig. Computers operation are reproductible, also not always reliable ;)

eZ is reliable.

Clear the caches and carry on!

If that doesn't work - backtrack, read the logs, and turn on the debugging.

Today 17/5 it did it again!. Suddenly I have no images displayed in my site.
I cleared the caches but no improvement.
I turned on debugging. The error said it couldn't convert the images from /var/storage/... etc.
ImageMagick works fine. No problem. I think the problem is ezp can't send the full path to imageMagick.

Update:
5-10 minutes after I cleared the caches the images appeared again.
Is it a cache problem? How often should I clean the caches?
