Hi, Very nice article series and right what I was looking for. I followed the instructions and replaced the basic apache index html with a page I created, that links to a couple gifs that I placed in subfolders within the document root folder for apache. When I preview the page with BBEdit everything is fine. When I preview through the web the graphics are not shown? Why would this be? And how can I solve this? I didn't find the solution in Apache documentation. Thanks for you help, Frank

  More than likely, your HTML page is using absolute image links as opposed to relative image links, and thus it's getting confused when you browse it over the network/web. Take a look at the "src" of your <img> tags - what are they set for?

  The URLs to the files are relative to the index.html file. (not with c:/....).
  
  Currently there is only one image that shows and that is the apache logo in the folder manual. The others show the IE image missing placeholder/icon when browsing to index.html through the apacheserver.
  
  Here's a couple lines from my testfile (test.icerabbit.com)
  
  

  
  <img border="0" src="icons/i__ico_icerabbit_r.gif" align="left" width="19" height="18">
  

   <img src="icons/PoweredByMacOSX.gif" alt="" width="160" height="44">
  

   <img src="apache/apache_pb.gif" alt="" width="259" height="32">
  
  Would I need to validate the subfolders in some way?
  
  Thanks,
  Frank

  If test.icerabbit.com is your server, I don't see either the "PoweredByMacOSX.gif" OR the "i__ico_icarabbit_r.gif" in your icons folder.
• This too weird! I have 5 different icons in that folder than the ones it lists online!!!

  Thanks for visiting that page and helping me out with this.
  
  On my HDD, in the folder:
  osx/library/webserver/documents/icons
  
  I placed 5 files: 3 i_xxxxxx.gif files and 2 poweredbyxxxxx.gif
  
  that's all. None of the other icons shown in the online /icons are from me or for that test page. I can't even find these icons shown in that online icons folder on my hard drive! I had hoped that would give me a clue ... but it only confuses me more ... these tiny gifs from 1996 have to come from somewhere!
  
  So I have finder now searching for files from 02/22/96 (sigh)
  
  Is there any firsthand location where it would pick this from? I know these gifs are not mine and are not in the apache/webserver area on my hard drive.
  
  Thanks,
  Frank
