Images don't appear in front , something to do with legacy

[kutchbhi]

Prestashop version: 1.5.6 . This is for a custom import tool. It imports products into presta from a feed.

 

Images do appear in back office, but in front shop only appear as question marks.

 

When directly going to the image:

/img/p/2/2/1/9/5/22195-large_default.jpg - this works

 

but presta is actually looking for a image located at: 

/img/p/2/2/1/9/5/566-22195-large_default.jpg

 

where 566 is the product_id

 

Googling suggests it has something to do with legacy file system . But what ?

I tried the default theme and it made no difference..

 

Would appreciate any help

 

Edit: I just noticed on my localhost installation of perstashop(a different version) images paths (that also work) are as:

 

/img/p/8/9/89-home_default.jpg

 

So basically the product_id is not being used here, to fetch images

try to regenerate .htaccess file

hmm I did a complete reinstall (the client gave permission) and now it works! I guess it was some sort of messed up installation of older prestashop...
