Cause
  • Error in the logs is indicating that the path is not accessible and pointing to the old IP address and whenever the image is opened from inside and outside the server it can be accessed normally.
  • The loopback IP address 127.0. 0.1 was located in the Hosts file instead of the IP of the external Company_files server.
Resolution
  • Connect to the server using RDP.

  1. Open the following path C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
  2. Open the Hosts file.
  3. Add the IP of the external Company_files server with the FQDN.
  4. Save the file.
