Images not loading

[liberator]

Hi,

I'm having a problem whereby some images on my site are not loading. I know my html is correct as the text and css is showing correctly, and a friend is able to view the images correctly on her pc.

On a related issue, she cannot view images on a subdomain of my site, which again has the correct code. This leads me to think it's not just a browser issue.

Could it be a server problem? Any help is appreciated.

If you are pretty sure is not your HTML, then copy the image address and paste it into the address bar and you SHOULD see it. If not, I'm sorry but your code does not have the correct paths (most probable).

If it's fine, reload your page and get a DSL connection.

Ditto. Right click on the pictures and select properties. Be sure they are linking to http NOT c://..... or whatever. Just because the text shows up doesn't mean the pictures are linked properly. Most likely they're linked to a folder on your hardrive and/or the pictures are stored in cache.

As far as not seeing the pictures I have now been able to sort that out. The problem was actually my Norton. In "Privacy Control" I had "Enable Privacy ticked which blocked me seeing any pictures. With that unticked...I see the pictures.

What I need to really now know is why under the sub-domain I only see an "Index Of" site? It lists the files but no site. Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks.

Then that means you're missing an index.htm file. The index file MUST be in the root of the subdomain folder.

PS Glad you got the picture thing figured out

I already have an "index.html" file in my directory. How do I link files in the sub-domain? I know my files on my main site can be linked "/images/pic.jpg" etc, but what's the full link for files in the subdomain folder?

Thanks again for any help.

You cannot link images from your main site to your subdomain with paths ("../images/" or "/images/") cause it's not under it's scope.

For that, you'll need to duplicate your "images" folder into the subdomain ("/images/" copy into "/subdomain/images") or use absolute links instead paths in your subdomain images ("http://www.mysite.com/images/" not just "/images/")

If you use hotlinks scripts, be sure to allow your domain and subdomain to read.

[liberator]

Fixed it! It turned out that it was the hotlink scripts thing you mentioned, I disabled that and the images all loaded. The html itself was fine all along.

Thank you.

I have had the same problem with images not loading although I could access them through direct access (i.e., typing the location in the address bar). If I had checked this forum sooner I would have eliminated alot of headaches...and found that I failed to allowed one of my subdomains to access images.
