Image directory problem

Hello,

I am having a problem having my images (jpg's) come up when I access the site.
I have them pointed at big/dom/xmydomain/www/XXXX.jpg
and still those boxes come up in their place.

What would I be missing?

Thanks,
Gary

Howdy!
Don't point them to /big/dom/xdomain/images/blah.. point them to domainname.tld/images/blah.blah for example ganon.net/images/server.jpg

Your problem is a simple one, you're using the wrong directory structure to call your images.

Your code is:

Code Sample:

<IMG SRC=&quot;/big/dom/xarea51comm/www/area51logo.JPG&quot;>
<IMG SRC=&quot;big/dom/xarea51comm/comingsoon.JPG&quot; ALIGN=MIDDLE>




The syntax you are using, big/dom/xurl/dir/dir is correct for cgi scripts, ftp, etc., but not for your html and its formatting.

To properly call your image, you can use either of the following syntaxes:

1) Full Path


Code Sample:
<img src=&quot;http://www.area51comm.com/dir/to/image.jpg&quot;>



For example, if your images are in your root directory(www), then your call would look like:

<img src=&quot;http://www.area51comm.com/image.jpg&quot;>

If your image is in a directory other than your root directory, say /Images (www/Images), then it looks something like:

<img src=&quot;http://www.area51comm.com/Images/image.jpg&quot;>

2) Or you can use relative paths to call your images.  In this case, you refer to the image in a manner relative to your root directory (www), without having to use all the http:// stuff ahead of it.

Again, if your image.jpg is in your main root directory (www), then a relative image call looks like:

<img src=&quot;image.jpg&quot;>

If your image.jpg is in another directory, lets say /Images, then a relative call looks like:

<img src=&quot;Images/image.jpg&quot;>

I hope that helps, and best of luck to you.

Thanks everyone but it's still not working.
I changed the code to all of your suggestions, still have those little boxes.

I know the jpgs are good, I had the site up last night...today nothing.

Strange stuff.

Where are your images? in the images dir on in the main dir? They are pointing to the main dir.. if they are in the images idr they need to point to www.domain.tld/images/comingsoon.jpg for example

Your problem is case-sensitive.

UNIX and related environments are case-sensitive, which means they view lower case and upper case letters differently, and your file names have a mixture of both.

Use the following, as I have successfully accessed your images:


Code Sample:

<img src=&quot;Area51logo.JPG&quot;>
<img src=&quot;Comingsoon.JPG&quot;>




OR


Code Sample:

<img src=&quot;http://www.area51comm.com/Area51logo.JPG&quot;>
<img src=&quot;http://www.area51comm.com/Comingsoon.JPG&quot;>

Hi gary,

UNIX filenames are case sensitive. Area51logo.JPG is not same as area51logo.jpg. I noticed that http://www.area51comm.com/Area51logo.JPG loads fine. You have linked it as &quot;http://www.area51comm.com/area51logo.jpg&quot; in your html.

Regards
