I have a website called 'Takeshionline.net' and recently we had to move to the .net name when someone else registered our .com name. Since moving, all the pictures we have in the 'images folder' won't show on the site. Does anyone know why this has happened?
I added that image hoping it would show but it too won't load on the site. It's only images in the 'Images' folder and we have checked them and they are the same as before which makes things confusing. I'm didn't think changing the name would cause this much trouble.
yep your url points to a folder called images but you are talking above about the 'Images' folder, if the folder you have created has a capital I on Images but your URL for the images points to the golder images with a small i then you will have a problem! rename the folder with a small i on images.
sorry, the folder does have a small 'i'... I added a Large 'I' just for this message..
My site was created in .php by a friend of mine and both of us never touched a thing. Since the problem started my friend changed some of the files to point to the new .net name but it hasn't made any difference....
Just a thought - a bit far fetched but possible - have the images been corrupted? try uploading the images to the server again. Did you get a new domain pointing to your web space or did you get new webspace? they might possibly have been corrupted in transit.
Ok two common problems with uploading images are the FTP tools sending as ascii when you need them to be binary. Tools such as cuteftp try and work it out from the extension which mode they need to be in but they dont always get it right
Send the pics in binary mode to the webserver. Secondly check permissions for the images folder for the default account and ensure that everyone has permissions using a tool like chmod to set the permissions to the images folder to 7777 (Everyone, the world and his dog has permissions). Remember to lower the permissions again if you establish that as the cause.
Be aware of the file names which are case sensitive and unix/linux files that being with a "." are hidden by default.
