Hello Stack Overflow Community,

I’m experiencing an issue with viewing images uploaded to Strapi. Despite being logged in as a super admin and having connected to PostgreSQL, I am unable to see the images that were uploaded by another user.

Details:

• Strapi Version: [e.g., 4.x.x]

• Frontend Framework: Next.js

• Database: PostgreSQL

• Strapi Admin Panel URL: http://localhost:1337/admin

Steps Taken:

1. Checked Media Library:

   • I navigated to the Media Library in the Strapi admin panel, but the images are not visible.

2. Verified User Permissions:

   • As a super admin, I should have full access. I checked the roles and permissions, and the super admin role has the correct permissions to view media files.

3. Inspected Database:

   • I confirmed that images are listed in the upload table in PostgreSQL, indicating they were uploaded successfully.

4. Checked File System:

   • The images are present in the /public/uploads directory on the server.

5. CORS Configuration:

   • I have set up CORS to allow requests from my frontend domain (http://localhost:3000).

6. Network Requests:

   • Using browser developer tools, I verified that requests for images are being made, but they return errors or fail.

7. Strapi Logs:

   • There are no apparent errors related to media handling in the Strapi server logs.

     Problem:

     Despite all checks, images uploaded to Strapi are not visible in the Media Library or on the frontend of my Next.js application.

     Questions:

     1. Why are the images not visible in the Strapi Media Library?

     2. What additional steps can I take to troubleshoot this issue?

     3. Could there be an issue with Strapi’s configuration or the way images are served?
