attached image not showing thumbnail

[KarolinaV]

I'm using an upgraded version from 6 to Jira 7.3 and when we attach files, including images the thumnails are not created. they just have a generic look:

Both, old and new attachments look like this, how can I fix it and make it show the thumbnail again?

Hello,

As this post was never marked as answered I was just checking in to see if you found the cause of the error or if the other suggestions helped out.

Also, I have seen this occur on a Jira instance installed on an Azure cloud deployment  before with the cause and solution detailed in the following KB article:

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/thumbnails-do-not-generate-in-jira-running-in-azure-958776158.html

Noting that the cause in that particular scenario was a filesystem permissions conflict causing root to take ownership of the directory, so even if your not using a Azure deployment I would suggest checking out the file system permissions as well as described in:

• How to fix directory permissions in Linux for Jira Server

Regards,
Earl

Hi Karolina

You're going to want to look in the logs around the time you upgraded or perform a search for "thumbnail, " "thumbnail directory" or "attachment" and see if there is an error related to being unable to create the directory, set permissions on the directory ,etc.

I would start in the JIRA_INSTALL/logs/catalina.out and then check the JIRA_HOME/log/atlassian-jira.log.  Depending on when you upgraded and what has taken place up to that point you may need to review the JIRA_INSTALL/logs/catalina.out.[x] or the JIRA_HOME/log/atlassian-jira.log.[x] log to look into past messages.

Once you review the logs it should provide clues as to what is going on.  You can post the snippet here once you find it and we can take a look and see what could be going on.

Cheers,

Branden

Hello, sorry for the very late responce. In the logs at the time od the upgrade I did not find anything relevant with those searchs. 
In the current atlassian-jira.log however I found an error:
