need help looking at website :)

I would be very grateful if one or more of you would point your web
browsers at 65.108.100.215

This is a mirror of the Warbird's Forum website. When I look at it,
there are no images--only a Bill Gatesian red X where the image should
be. When the hosting company looks at the page, the images are there.
I went to the library and used one of the terminals there--no joy! But
perhaps the library and I are both using the same service provider.

So what do you see? Images or red X's?

Thanks!

all the best -- Dan Ford

Neither: the Netscape broken image symbol for the pictures, plus all the
text, links etc. Netscape Communicator 4.76 (as you can see, I don't
exactly keep my software updated to the latest version).

Very odd.

I get the red x problem initially, but I can make the pictures appear with
some work. I right click on the picture's space, show its properties, and
copy the full address of the picture to the browser address bar (e.g.,
http://65.108.100.215/forumbanner2.jpg ). That takes me to the picture on
a blank page all by itself. If I then go back to the whole page, the
picture is visible in its proper place. That's using IE6 and coming in via
Earthlink.

Damifino what's up. Some sort of cache/address problem, it looks like.

Exactly the same here with Mozilla 1.6 via an ISP in Germany.

The webserver at 65.108.100.165 seems to have trouble with relative local
image URLs, like the "plain" filenames (i.e. without directory path and/or
"http://..." prefix) of the images. When you pass the full URL to the
server it works. If you then return to the HTML page, the browser get the
JPG/GIF from its cache (if you "refresh" the page, the photos are gone
again, because a refresh ignores the cache).

Anyway, a look at the webserver's access log should reveal which URL it gets
to "see" when the images are to be loaded and which HTTP code is returned
(not necessarily a 404). This should give some hint at the nature of the
problem (almost certainly some kind of mis-configuration of the webserver -
I think some of these have lots of strange options regarding what they
"hide" or not).

Whatever it was, it seems to be sorted out. Now I get all the images,
including some that I didn't load into cache before.

Just so, Andreas. It is a mirror site (I'm changing hosts) and I
copied over everything, including the .htaccess file that blocks
people from hotlinking my images. Well, it turned out that the file of
course was written for the existing site, and it blocked the new one
as an interloper, even though the images were on the same site and in
the same directory.

I have exactly the same. Opera 6 (masq'ing as IE). Right click on the blank
space/Show Image...there it is.

Seems to be a prob with the relative addressing. What webserver is this
running on?

Hmm. What that sounds like is a timeout problem. Whatever's handling
the pictures was giving a slow response, and either the Browser, or
the Web Server basically gave up waiting. When you loaded the picture
individually, it got cached (Which makes it sound like a server-side
problem) and your browser uses its own local copy to fill in.

They seam to have sorted it out now, though (17:30 Dan's Local Time).
