I've just had an active Moodle installation moved from a Unix/Apache server to a Windows IIS 6 server. After changing the slasharguments setting to the file.php?=file/path format, uploaded documents (.pdf's &c.) are available now.
However, already uploaded images (from when I was using file.php/path on the Apache server) are broken. Can upload new ones & they work fine, and can go back & re-link old ones -- but there are a LOT of them, including everyone's profile photo. All of these apparently remain linked with the file.php/path convention, so that they can't be accessed unless I relink them.
Is there a way to do this en-mass? I'm talking about having to re-upload some 400 user profile photos if we need to do this manually.
thanks,
Will
oops - found the fix for user profile photos - those in fact were not affected by this, that was operator error 
.
But graphics uploaded in Summary or side HTML blocks are affected. They are in the file repositories for each course, but their link is broken; it remains
... /file.php/path
(this is what I see when I right-click/properties on the alternate text),
while it now needs to be
... /file.php?file=/path
Interestingly, graphics both embedded in & attached to forums posts seem to all be fine.
Again, I can go in & fix each one manually by re-linking it, but it sure would be nice to fix this without all that labor. Anyone had to do this already?
