Images Not Appearing

Post by Glasshalfempty »

I know this thing happens a lot (I just searched and found a whole load of pages, but none of the answers in there have helped) but on my first update none of the images have appeared. I changed the index and daily html and uploaded my images to /workspace/images the triggered a Manual Regular Update but when the page loads the images aren't there. I don't even get a "picture could not be displayed" symbol, they simply don't exist. I've looked through the code a couple of times but could spot nothing. Hopefully someone else will spot the mistake.

I noticed you have your image URLs written as thus:

Code: Select all

/public_html/images/LHSNavigationArchives.jpg
Just remove the /public_html

Ahah! Thank you, it works now. But why? I thought /public_html would take it back to the root then into public_html which would work, or does it treat public_html itself as the root when it is updated?

Because the pages are already in public_html, as is the images folder. The page looks for images starting from where it is, so it was looking for a public_html folder within your public_html folder.
