Images do not show???
JamesKB - April 12, 2008 - 06:49
I have a Drupal 5.7 installation at abc.abcdefg.com (a sub-domain of abcdefg.com). The sub-domain folder is named abc. Under folder abc I have a folder named /files/images. In this folder I place image.jpg. When I try to display the image using /files/images/images.jpg it does not display??? What am I missing here???
Thanks for your time.

Files public or private
If your download method is set to private under Admin - Site configuration - File system, you have to make sure to provide the proper rights under Admin - User management - Access control.
Images still not showing
Thanks for the response.
I have download method set to Public. I am getting this error message in Admin - Site configuration - File system:
* warning: fopen(files/.htaccess) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/******/public_html/res/includes/file.inc on line 117.* Security warning: Couldn't write .htaccess file. Please create a .htaccess file in your files directory which contains the following lines:
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
Options None
Options +FollowSymLinks
I have File system path: set to files ?? I DO have an .htaccess file (Permission set to 644) in the files folder as the error message states??
Any ideas???
Thanks for your time.

try 664 as your permissions on the .htaccess file

Still no joy
I tried setting the permission to 664 as you suggested. Still no joy. :(

are you sure the .htaccess contains the lines the error is stating must be there ?

Yes
My .htaccess does indeed contain the lins as described in the error message.
For now I have a work-a-round. I smimply created a folder named images and placed my images in it and just point to it from the wysiwyg "add picture" dialog in tinyMCE.
Need a real soloution
I am still not able to use the File folder in my Drupal 5.7 installation. See the error message I am getting, shown above. For now I'm using a work-a-round, but I want images, dpf's, etc... in the Drupal File folder, that way they become part of the database I assume.
Help..... Anyone.....
Thanks for your time.

AS far as drupal is concerned if the uplaoded are bing done through a node, then they are getting added to the DB.
it doesn't have to9 be a folder named files, it can be named anything as per administer -> file system
are you using the private method or the public method ?
have you tried using a path other then "files"
what about creating your own files folder ?
what happens if you remove the .htaccess file ?
