Topic: Unable to load images in local server

[winky]

Hi...I'm new to using a local server on my machine. I have a problem with loading any image from within a web page using the IMG tag. What happens is I get a placeholder but no image. Error log reports "File does not exist" however, it is in the right location. If I use the IMG tag with something like <img src="C:\location\filename.ext\ alt=""> it works but, is annoying and I know this is not the right syntax. Everything else works fine. Presently, using WAMP5 1.65 on Windows XP Service pack 2. Is there a re-direct I need in one of the conf files? I have tried other installations with the same problem. Turned of active-x in browsers as well. I am lost for an answer, any help appreciated.
Thanks

On a server you have to think a bit different! paths must be relativ

if the file you call on http://localhost/file.htm is in C:\location and the image is there as well

<img scr="filename.ext" ....

Thanks A-LOT. The one thing I didn't try was leaving the absolute path out. Who would have thunk. I was using
"../server/www/filename.ext" where the file resides. This was driving me crazy. Works fine now.
Thanks again. Winky
