Topic: GIF not displayed on Website

[James Shields]

I replaced the basic e-smith website with my own index.htm file as well as some associated GIF files. I did this from my Windows ME computer logged on as "admin".

I copied files to the \E-smith-server\primary\html directory.

When viewing in my browser by directly opening the index.htm file at the above location, it loads correctly. When opened using http://www/ it displays the index.htm page in the browser, but does not load the GIF files.

The page can be viewed at http://139.130.141.21/index.htm for anybody wanting to offer some advice. Coded using MS FrontPage 2000.

James:
Where are the gif files stored?
(Should be in /primary/html folder)
your web is pointing to /images/shield.gif
but files in /images are not accesible from outside.

This is listed in the known bugs page.

You have two options to correct the problem:

- correct the group setting of the files and directories from the command line:

chgrp -R shared /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/images

- delete the directory images and its content, and then upload the directory using ftp.

This bug will be corrected in the next release.

I had the same problem, I used telnet to access a comand line prompt and log in as root and changed the permissions for the files (chmod 755 *.*) in the /home/e-smith/files/primary/html directory. Change the cgi-bin files also if you are using them to the same setting (755).

That's exactly what I did, too Jon.
