Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/847

I am giving the path to a different file for the directory path. However, when I do this, previews of the images do not work. The preview works only if $root_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

$use_auth = false;
$root_path = '/xampp/htdocs/website/images';
$root_url = '';

I've tried what you said and researched the problems and tried other solutions, but it's still the same. I tried to enter all kinds of root_url but it didn't work. I uploaded the files to hosting, the new root_path is as follows. What kind of a root_url do I need to write for this?

$use_auth = false;
$root_path = '/home/user/public_html/new/website/images';

I hope $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and home/user/public_html are pointing to same path.

$root_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/new/website/images';
$root_url = 'new/website/images';

Image preview will not working if $root_path will be outside of server document root
