Images won't load in my pages...

[elearley]

Hello, thank you in advance for your help. I am having a frustrating problem of images not loading when I place my files on the remote server. Everything is there, all the code is correct, and it works fine locally. Can anyone shed light? Here is the link to my problem site:

http://www.seekmediadesign.com/stage...etox/index.htm

I built this using Dreamweaver MX 2004.

If you can tell me what the problem is and how to fix it I would be much appreciative!

Thanks

el.

First off, how do you transfer the files to the server? is it through ftp ? or through frontpage extensions ?
If you have a login shell on the server, check the permissions on the images and images/sub directories, they should be something like this:

~ > ls -la images | egrep '(./|sub)'
drwxr-xr-x    4 redhead  users        4096 Jul 17  2003 ./
drwxr-xr-x    3 redhead  users        4096 Jul 17  2003 ../
drwxr-xr-x    2 redhead  users        4096 Apr 13  2003 sub/

next check the permissions on the images, they should be something like this:

images/sub > ls -l
total 244
-rw-r--r--    1 redhead  users        1466 Jul 14  2003 404-1.png
-rw-r--r--    1 redhead  users        1649 Jul 14  2003 404-2.png
..

To change the permissions on the directories, use chmod, something like this should do it:

~ > chmod 0755 images
~ > cd images 
images > chmod 0755 sub
images > cd sub
images/sub > chmod 0644 *

If you are using ftp to transfer, it could be that you're in ASCII mode, when transfering the images will get currupted, so be sure to transfer the images in BIN mode.
If it's with frontpage extensions, I have no idear why they might get currupted.

Another thing could be, that theres a .htaccess file preventing me from teh further investigation on the permissions settings here.

Wow, thank you! I don't know how to check or change permissions... I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and uploading via FTP...

Any ideas?

i don't use dreamweaver, but in most programs like that you can right click the remote fil and choose properties. that usually will show you the permissions and allow you to modify them.
