My index.html page in /public_html/ won't display images. I have an image directory folder in /public_html/ named images so I'm referencing an image using:

<img src="/images/whatever.gif">

It will load my css style sheet, which is stored in /public_html/css by simply using /css/whatever.css .

What is going on here? How can it see /css but not /images? This happened to me in the past, and I used a redirect to get around it. I don't want to use redirection anymore.

Any input is much appreciated. Thanks.

My url is: http://warebizprogramming.com

Usually you don't use a forward slash on directories that are on the same level as the file you're using..
Try just <img src="images/whatever.gif">

Using the forward slash should be fine. Make sure you're typing the filenames correctly as they are CaSe SeNsItIve.

I tried it without the forward slash. Still same. The filenames are also correct. My index.html page for my add-on domain is doing the same thing. The url is:

http://mikeware.us

Here, all web pages are correctly referenced, and I have all images in the same directory as index.html. If you can verify this by trying:

http://mikeware.us/imgMikeWareUS2.gif

It will load fine. But, in my index.html, I have:

<img src="imgMikeWareUS2.gif">

and the image won't load. This is not making any sense to me. Someone please help me out. Thanks.

that link directly to the image doesn't load for me.
http://mikeware.us/imgMikeWareUS2.gif

nor does the image of the same name load from the images directory.
http://mikeware.us/images/imgMikeWareUS2.gif

a few suggestions:
1) stick with one case for the file name - like mikeware.gif - its easier to read and maintain
2) check the permissions on that image file - verify they are set to 644

warebiz

OK.

I took your advice and changed the image's name to: mikeware.gif

It is now stored at: http://mikeware.us/mikeware.gif

My index.html still won't recognize it, but accessing the above link does work. I also verified the permissions set at 644. Any thoughts?

i still can't see that image if i click directly on that link.

....thinking...

ok thats weird, sometimes i see the pic of you and the squiggle writing and sometimes not.

....thinking....

warebiz

Ok. I guess the link above: http://mikeware.us/mikeware.gif works every once in a while because that image is in my browser's cache. I guess I'm referencing my images wrong, but I don't know how to correct them.

mikeware.us is an add-on domain pointing to: /msw which is in the /public_html. Could that have something to do with it?
