I upgraded from 5.44 to 5.46 and everything has broken. Ghost deleted my Routes and Redirects configurations and broke the path for most uploaded images. I thought fixing the Routes and Redirects might correct the image issue, but it did not. Ghost is running behind Cloudflare, which I read that some caching settings might cause an issue. I’m not sure if that’s the case or which settings I need to adjust. I also read that an issue might arise if the config file doesn’t have https:// in the URL. I confirmed that my site is configured with https://. Edit: The only images affected are the self-hosted ones. Unsplash linked images are fine. The core Ghost platform images are fine. The logos and post images I’ve uploaded are broken. Edit 2: It seems like all images were in the /instance/versions/5.44.0/content/images folder and not the base /instance/content/images folder. The upgrade to 5.46 didn’t move the images to the /instance/versions/5.46.0/content/images. I’m currently manually copying the content into that folder and the images are being restored. Is there a reason images are uploading to into the version folder structure which will change every time the site is updated? ---

It sounds like an upgrade didn’t successfully conclude. All your files should be in the `content/` folder, not the `versions/content/` folder. A symbolic link is created to the latest version of Ghost. I host behind Cloudflare, and this doesn’t affect updates via SSH. How are you performing the updates, and how are you copying files? Your folder structure should look similar to this. I assume “instance” is equivalent to “ghost” below. ```auto 536152 -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 26698502 Apr 13 14:32 backup-from-v5.41.0-on-2023-04-13-14-32-00.zip 521106 -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 26698632 Apr 24 17:37 backup-from-v5.43.0-on-2023-04-24-17-36-31.zip 520891 -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 26698599 Apr 27 14:05 backup-from-v5.44.0-on-2023-04-27-14-05-09.zip 525013 -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 880 Apr 27 14:07 config.production.json 778033 drwxrwxr-x 11 ghost ghost 4096 Oct 23 2022 content/ 520909 lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 41 Apr 27 14:07 current -> /var/www/ghost/versions/5.45.1/ 546696 -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 201 Apr 27 14:07 .ghost-cli 766903 drwxrwxr-x 4 user user 4096 Apr 27 14:07 versions/ ``` You may want to run `ghost doctor` when you’re done. ---

The instance directory replaces the ghost directory on my instal for some reason. It’s a shared-hosting server with Opalstack. I did run ghost doctor and it reported an error, that my user folder isn’t accessible by all users, which I attribute to the shared hosting. My permissions appear to match the folder permissions you posted above. The only difference I notice is that content and versions are rwxrwxr-x not drwxrwxr-x, for whatever the d represents. ---

The “d” means it is a directory, and that’s what `content` and `versions` should be. This suggests something is seriously broken with your installation. Is `current` a symbolic link, i.e., preceded with an “l”? If so, what does it point to? ---

Typically, the base directory for Ghost is `/var/www/ghost`. Yours appears to be `/home//apps/ghost_app/instance`. Therefore, the absolute path would be `/home//apps/ghost_app/instance/content/`. ---

When changing to the absolute path, Ghost won’t boot. The errors read that the content path doesn’t exist. ---

Can you make sure the path exists? I think you mentioned that you copied the content from `versions/a` to `versions/b` - now you’ll want to move it to `content` (make sure the path you move it to aligns with what you put in the config) ---

Right. The content path in the config is `"paths": { "contentPath": "content/" },` which should point to `/home//apps/ghost_app/instance/content/` since the config file is in `/home//apps/ghost_app/instance/`. When I changed it to read the full directory address, Ghost wouldn’t boot. I manually moved the images, routes, and redirects files into their appropriate places from the `/instance/versions/5.44.0/content/` directory. However, I know Ghost is still reading the information from the `/instance/versions/5.44.0/content/` directory because I deleted the routes file from there and my routing rules broke when I rebooted Ghost despite them being in the appropriate `/instance/content/settings/` directory. ---

I just updated to 5.46.1 and it again is only pulling from the versions director, not the content directory. Any idea how I can fix this so I don’t have to manually add files with every update?
