HELP! Server Issue....Guru Needed
 

Here is my problem:

I uploaded a site.

The images dont show up on the page.

If I type the url/images/image.jpg, the image shows.

I am clueless to the problem.

what did you use to build the HTML with?

depending on what you used to build the HTML (other than a text only editor) you may need to check the virtual location referenced in the document. it may be pointing to files on your hard drive and not files hosted on your server. Dreamweaver specifically is troublesome in this respect.

Yes, post a link to it... it will tell all.

look at the HTML...you might have the URL as a folder in your local...change it to your website URL

can ya post the URLS so we can have a look for you?

Yeah sounds like you just dont know your HTML. :)

Built in Dreamweaver.

Paths are correct. Not pointing to my harddrive.

For SEO reasons, cant show you the page.

This has to be a server issue.

Two possible solutions.
1 ) Open your httpd.conf and search for /images. Remove the images Alias and you are done. This will fuck the apache internal indexing.
2 ) Change the images direcory name to something like myimages.

well then for obvious reasons, we cant help you.

Maybe directory not Chmod correctly

Are you sure you put it in the site root and not the directory beneath that? Sometimes hosts make the site root in a subdirectory called htdocs, public_html or html not just the precise place your FTP program puts you in.

Good luck

How about I take a look, I don't know anything about SEO :winkwink:

Seriously though, check if you have some kind of hotlink protection on, if your paths are all correct and going to the images directly works, my guess is you have hotlinking on but not working correctly.

Things to check

1) are the images named with the correct case? xyz.jpg vs xyz.JPG are different names on unix servers but same on windows
2) can you load the image directly ?http://www.idontwanttotellyou.com/xyz.jpg should work.
3) <img src="/xyz.jpg"> vs <img src="xyz.jpg"> are two different locations on your server, if your html is in a subdirectory
4) try a simple test page with just an image tag on it.
5) try uploading the broken images again. it's possible you had a problem with ftp during the upload and the images are corrupted.
