Images not showing up?

[elias75]

quite strange,
I am working on a new site that has a few images all around. Testing it in locally everything was just fine. But when I uploaded it on my host, for some reason, 4 images are not showing up!
I have checked with the images file and they are there. Also uploaded them again but nothing. The file paths are fine too...
Any ideas??

Permissions ?

Contact your hosting service why is it not showing up. Maybe that's the problem. Or not as what the above posters says "permissions?"

Ya, permissions would be my guess to. Check the folder permissions and the image permissions. Make sure they are readable by all.

it must be the image location,

when you submit the image in your webpage using your website software, it may be linking the image to your hard drive folder, double check all images..

make sure they point to the image folder, in most cases it looks like this

/images/logo.jpg

in your case it may be

mydocuments/website/images/logo.jpg

ok problem solved. What was it? one of those unexplained things.....

with the help of my hosting provider, I was told to change those file names so that there will be all lower cases and no spaces, then change the linking and upload the updated files. Works like charm....

however... ALL other images on the site are in UPPER case with spaces and some have numbers in them.

Now, why only those 4 had the problem and all the other were fine?? one of those things....

thanks all for your suggestions REPS+

If you are hosted on a Unix platform then file names in URLs are case-sensitive. Also, if you have special characters like space, they need to be translated ie. 'image file.jpg' = image%20file.jpg.

If you develop web pages on your PC using Windows you won't notice problems with letter case, because Windows file names are not case-sensitive

It's best to always use lowercase and avoid special characters. What I do is use hyphens to add keywords in image files like this: keyword1-keyword2-keyword3.jpg
I get a lot of traffic from Google Images this way.
