I've tried exactly this: disable the synchro job in the Host > Schedule. Enable Auto Synch in Host Settings > Other Settings. Go to Admin > File Manager and manually do a recursive synch. Go to Admin > Portal Settings and try to find my logo. I cannot do it.
I have a separate folder for images with subfolders for year and month (I'm trying to maintain a newspaper blog). The logo file sits right in the "Images" folder, and here's the odd thing: That parent folder no longer appears in the drop down box, but some of the sub-sub folders do, such as "images/2008/09". This means I can't find my logo, but I can find pictures from news stories. Even more odd: the File Manager itself works perfectly well and will find every folder and every file.
All of this was working well while I was using DNN 4.7.x until some time after the new year. I had it fixed for awhile--apparently a manual recursive synch job worked--and then I upgraded on Jan 11 to DNN 4.9.1. (I mis-spoke: apparently the upgrade halted the Scheduler synchronization). I uploaded files on Jan 13 using Admin > File Manager, but could not find the "Images" folder in the Image Browser window and had to write the path manually. However--I still had the logo at that time! Since then, something has happened and that "images" folder doesn't show up anymore. So the logo no longer appears on any page.
This seems like odd behavior, to say the least. Is this a database problem? It predates the upgrade, but could it be an install problem? I get no error message, but I really wish I could give the system an error message of my own. Any ideas?
