image upload problems

can someone please draw me a picture on how to properly upload my pics to a SUBdomain? it seems that every blinkin' time i upload images to an add-on domain, i have problems viewing the graphics.

i have triple-checked the html to ensure there are no local urls.

i have triple-checked for typos ("images" and not "Images") for my images folder.

since i'm not sure whether it matters that i have an "images" folder in my root AND sub-domains, i have uploaded all my pics to my root's "images" folder.

i don't know what else to look for. does something happen to an images' properties to make it decide to load somewhere other than i think it should?

PLEASE help ....

Hi there

when you create a sub domain you get below

url is : subdomain.domain.com
folder is : /home/USERNAME/public_html/SubDomain

Add img tag to this there are few methods

if you are using the php
you can use the below
$p=dirname(__FILE__); // Get file Path your running file path

Like http://subdomain.domain.com/file.php
$p = /home/USERNAME/public_html/SubDomain

now your $p is local subdomain path, you can call image file as below
$filepath=$p.'/images/imagefilename.gif'; //if file in subdomain/image folder


you can use the direct file path

<img src="http://subdomain.domain.com/images/imagefile.gif">

if your file in subfolder then you can use below also

<img src="images/imagefile.gif">

Try this

best of luck

regards
jitender

hi jitender,

thx very much for your reply -- someone else has made the same suggestion as well.

i'm afraid i'm not that well-versed in the "proper" (& more efficient) way to code web pages, so i am using FrontPage as my html editor.

so-os... i'm simply proofing the code in "split" view and making sure that the path is the proper one.

after reading your suggestion from another forum contributor, i added my subdomain to the beginning of my path (as in your example), but this hasn't made any difference. i uploaded the changed webpage and i still don't see any images.

another question ...


my folders are organized as such:

primary url is : domain.com
folder is : /home/USERNAME/public_html/domain

add-on url is : subDomain.com ... (not subdomain.domain.com)
folder is : /home/USERNAME/public_html/domain
SubDomain1
SubDomain2, etc

my images are currently organized:

/home/USERNAME/public_html/images

i have tried uploading them to:

/home/USERNAME/public_html/images/SubDomain
and
/home/USERNAME/public_html/SubDomain/images ...

but neither location will view the images in any browser. however, i can see the images in the browser on the computer that i'm working on.


am i somehow messing up my folder heirarchy?

me again ..

you're going to laugh at this ....

it was a hotlink protection thing. i had forgotten that i'd done this for my root domain (~18 months ago) and it wasn't about to occur to me any time soon that i would have to do the same thing for my SubDomains. who knew?

anyway, thank you for taking the time to brainstorm for me. i appreciate it very much!!
