Topic: OScommerce not displaying images

[Markboy67]

Hi I wonder if someone could help. I am pretty new to SME server and have installed OScommerce successfully. The problem I have is that when I browse to my newly created shop from a public connection the images are not displayed. If I browse from the internal network everything works fine.

Any ideas on what I may have done wrong.

Regards

Mark

OSc is a complex project to set up... let alone on an unfamiliar
flavour of server. I haven't used OSc for years now so these
are 'old' thoughts. SME uses ibay groups, these allow internal
connectivity separately from external ~ might be your issue.
Going external requires you to have set up the relative base
address for the site properly, it takes a bit of understanding
so you might not be calling the right folder for the images
when external. You need to check the SME logs, they will
resolve your difficulty most probably. Also use a decent
(eg Firefox) browser with developer addons that show
you what is going on under the surface (eg Firebug).

You most likely configured your osCommerce installation with a internal hostname or IP number which it can not resolve from the outside scope.

Check the configuration files and the httpd error_logs.
