Magento2 is looking directly in the root folder for media and static files. It is not looking in pub/media folder. Product images are not showing in the front. I installed Magento 2 in a subdirectory and with the installation.
I imported the products with Storemanager Emagicone, images were in import file (in root/media and pub/media because i did not know which to use),
Product images are in the front referring to a wrong path:
/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/400x533/beff4985b56e3afdbeabfc89641a4582/y/o/yorkshire
When I look in FTP, the images are in pub/media/catalog/product. The above-mentioned directory is totally empty.
Moving the files from root/pub/media to root/media solved partially the problem. All basic images show up, but product images are not showing at all.
I already tried:php bin/magento setup:di:compile and php bin/magento setup:static-content:deployand php bin/magento cache:clean and php bin/magento indexer:reindex
The file permissions and user owner are OK, also i deleted all from ROOT > pub > static > EXCEPT .HTACCESS. I also deleted folder in: pub/static
var/cache, var/view_preprocessed/css/frontend/ , ..source/frontend
I also looked in di.xml Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy
No symlinks!
