if i use the "default icon" setting and just overwrite my icon to the existing one, the code below is generated in the html.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/themes/garamond/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

if i upload the icon to the root and type "favicon.ico" on the path this would be the code.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

both r correct paths but i think u need to type the complete url for favicon to work. example the link above should either be

http://mydomain.com/themes/garamond/favicon.ico for the first example

and

http://mydomain.com/favicon.ico for the second example

or maybe its just my browser lol. but i can see favicon from cnn and reddit. iam using ie 6

Hi,

Here's a quick solution that worked for me after a couple of days of frustrating research.

When you change the favicon in Themes > Configure > Global Settings, make sure you do the following:

  1. Uncheck Use the default logo <<< VERY IMPORTANT <<<
  2. Clear the field Path to custom logo <<< VERY IMPORTANT <<<
  3. Populate Upload logo image with path to icon file on your computer (I used 32x32 icon size which works just fine)
  4. Save Configuration

In some cases the above steps will not work. If so, simply follow the above steps for specific theme e.g., Themes > Configure > Garland

Good luck,
malviya

I did the following which worked fine for me in drupal 6.2.

Ireplaced: /httpdocs/themes/garland/logo.png
for my own logo.png

And I added my own favicon.ico to the directory /httpdocs/themes/garland/

Cheers
