[users@httpd] Problem with Images not displaying.

Hello,

    I recently downloaded the xampp project for Linux, which includes 
the Apache web server along with mysql and php, etc. 
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html, and I put the Autonomous LAN 
Party software on it. http://www.nerdclub.net/alp/

    The problem I am having is that none of the .gif images appear on 
any of the pages. When using Firefox, it instead shows either a link to 
where the image is supposed to link, or plain text that would be the 
image name or tooltip info. When using IE, I see an empty square. I am 
going to assume this is a problem with the configuration of my server, 
and that is what the ALP guys thought as well. I'm very new and I have 
no idea where to start looking for the problem. If anyone can give me 
some advice on where to look or has had this problem and can tell me how 
to fix it, I would be very appreciative. Thank you.

Scott,

The first thing that I would check is the links on the pages.  If you had the 
pics in a folder /www/images/ on the old install.  If now the images folder is
/images, yes the pic's on the site would be broken.  

Can you please send a link to the page, please.  

DId you check to see that the image or (what ever it had been called) is still
an active folder.  Also how are you pulling the images out of the server on
to the page?? 

Please give us a little more detail.

S

Question: Most browsers have a setting to disable automatic image loading.
(In IE it's called 'Show pictures', in FF it's called 'Load images'). Did
you accidentally turn this off?

Next thing to do, if the above isn't true: Get livehttpheaders (for FF),
or a comparable piece of software for IE (sorry, I hardly ever use IE...)
to see if the request is sent, and what the headers of the reply look
like. Perhaps there's a clue.
