Suddenly, no images are displayed on my published Umbraco website. (It is hosted on an Azure VM.) Here is the URL: w3test.pixedit.com

Everything works fine on this server: www.pixedit.com

I have tried different things:

Fiddling with the permissions on the /media folder on the server Restoring to a backup of the Umbraco database And more...

And here is a symptom that might mean something: if I try to access an image with a direct url, it works fine here http://www.pixedit.com/media/1891/453932219.jpg but not here http://w3test.pixedit.com/media/1891/453932219.jpg, as you can see, I get a 404 Not Found.

I was thinking that it might have something to do with the ImageCropper in Umbraco, but this last test does not point in that direction, rather something with the access permissions on the /media folder on the server. All the text content on the site renders fine, so I suspect it is a specific problem with the media folder.

Has anyone experienced similar symptoms and could share some thoughts on how to solve this? (I must admit it is quite urgent...)
