Image Directory Not Accessible on the Web
 
Dear comrades,

I have copied the images directory from my home directory to the Apache web server Document Root /var/www.

I was not able to browse the content of the images directory via a browser http://192.168.0.11/images/linux_penguin.png. The error was 404 Not Found - The requested URL /images/linux_penguin.png was not found on this server.

However, if I copied the contents of /var/www/images directory to /var/www/images2 directory, I will not have this problem accessing http://192.168.0.11/images2/linux_penguin.png.

I am totally baffled. Please help.

Lee.

don't spam us just to get past 5 posts... you won't last long here if you do stuff like that again.

JimBass 01-15-2006 08:51 AM
First it is funny you spammed to get the 5 posts for links, because we can't get to 192.168.* addresses over the internet. We'd need access to your LAN to see those pages.

In answer to your question, something is misconfigured in Apache. We can't see your httpd.conf or apache.conf, because you did not post them. You also didn't tell us your distro, but /var/www usually contains directories, like /var/www/site1, /var/www/site2, and those directories are what are live, not the generic /var/www/. Giving us the results of
Code:
ls -al /var/www
would probablly clear up any problems.

I would also check your logs. Apache can be set to log anywhere, on my system it is /var/log/apache/(sitename)/, and in that directory are both the access.log and the error.log. Read the end of the error log, and that will help figure things out.

If you move the images directory to be a subdirectory of the live directory, things should be live.

Peace,
JimBass

I have tried an hour to make the post rid of any assemblace to a url but to no avail. A reference to linux_penguin.png was taken as a url by linuxquestions sytems if I am not mistaken.

Your comments are valuable. Please offer some guidance.

I am running Apache 1.3 on a Debian Sarge. Here is the directory listing of /var/www:
# ls -l /var/www
total 14
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 1024 2006-01-14 16:34 courses
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 1024 2006-01-15 18:10 images
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 1024 2006-01-14 16:36 images2
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 2252 2006-01-16 11:56 index.html

Alias /images/ /usr/share/images/
This line is your problem. It tells the Web server to use /usr/share/images as the directory to serve up requests for any requests in /images.
