View Full Version : Problem calling images on site

For some reason none of the images on my site will load, even though I know they are in the right places. This just started happening a few days ago and no matter what I do I can't seem to get it fixed.

If I go directly to the image url, it shows up no problem.
http://www.robert-pattinson.co.uk/images/temp_1.png

However, on the page that is calling the image, nothing.

The html on the page is fine as far as I can tell.

The problem isn't just with this page either, it's the entire site. None of the images hosted on my site will load, even though they are definitely in the correct places! I haven't done anything different with the site or made any changes that would have caused this. I've tested it in Firefox and IE, and visitors have said they are experiencing the same trouble.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance! :)

I assume images on other sites work fine so it isn't a browser setting issue?

Did you perhaps configure any server settings for preventing hotlinking of images or something but then it got wonky because it thinks your own URL is not local?s

If you access the site through this URL: http://robert-pattinson.co.uk/ you can see the images perfectly (URL without the www).

Yeah, and if I access the images with the www prefix, they give a 403 forbidden error, so it sounds like your site is not set up to work from www

Both of those are totally possible (and probable) - I don't know how to fix them though! I never changed any settings so I'm not sure how it got that way. Any solutions?

Couldn't you try calling your images from relative paths rather than absolute.

At the mo you have:


<img src="http://robert-pattinson.co.uk/images/temp_1.png" width="548" height="126" border="0" />

Whereas you could use


<img src="images/temp_1.png" width="548" height="126" border="0" />

then that should work from anywhere.

As fixing your www problem... you should probably ask your host...

Or create a htaccess file to redirect (http://www.besthostratings.com/articles/force-www-htaccess.html) - which will also stop duplicate content

It's fixed! There was a typo in my .htaccess file.

Thanks for all of your help! :D
