Re: [newbie] a webby question
Steve Winston wrote: Hy, I'm a linux mandrake user, but my question involves something else. I can't upload my graphics to my webpage. Why? I put the graphics in the same file as the html file that I upload. Links always work, and so do all kinds of colors. The problem isn't related to my system. I have tried in Linux, using ncftp to upload. The command is "put -z myfile websitefile" I have tried in Win95 using CuteFTP. My web pages look fine until I try to upload them. Then, they become graphics-less. I try using complete file paths as in IMG SRC="/home/html/graphic.gif" no luck. What to do? If the graphics files reside in the SAME directory as the HTML files, the IMG SRC line should not have a path on it, just the filename. Something like: IMG SRC=graphic.gif should work fine. I take it that the uploading process DOES transfer the graphics files to the remote machine?? -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hy, thanks for the reply. Maybe I am putting too much of a path. I'll try what you say. adios, Steve W. I can't upload my graphics to my webpage. Why?

I try using complete file paths as in IMG SRC="/home/html/graphic.gif" Make sure you are referencing the image correctly. The IMG SRC needs to be either a full url or a logical path progression from your page if the image is in the same directory as the html you should just be able to do IMG SRC="graphic.gif" and it should work.

The problem that you're encountering is that the paths that you put into your webpages do not map directly to the filesystem. It's the same type of thing that FTP servers use. The servers change their notion of a "root directory" to somewhere other than the actual physical root of the server. Mostly it's for security reasons. You don't want someone to download /etc/passwd out of your FTP server, nor do you want them to read it via your HTTP server either. So, each of them changes root to a new location (FTP on Mandrake is /home/ftp, HTTP is /home/httpd, I believe). On the physical server, you can cd to the directory that contains your pages and get the pwd and it'll show you something like /home/httpd/html/sphilp. However, as far as the webserver is concerned when parsing webpages, that directory is actually /html/sphilp. That's why you're getting the problems when trying to see the images when you browse the page. Hope this explanation helps! I can't upload my graphics to my webpage. Why?
