Newbie - help me with displaying pictures please

[calabrese]

Hello. Don't know if I'm in the right forum, but here goes.

I recently got a website, made a directory to store photos in, but they DO NOT display on my website.

I tried changing file permissions, the location of he photos, pretty much all I could with limited knowlegde. The site is up, the links work fand all my text formatting is fine, but this photo problem is really bugging me.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Well, hard to help if we don't have technical specs

What directory are they in?
Can you link to some of them?
Do they have correct chmod permissions? (644)
etc..

Just a guess (because we don't have enough information to help you much further as sullise pointed out) but maybe the cause of the problem is that in Linux filenames are case-sensitive.

In Windows filenames like MyPhoto.jpg and myphoto.jpg and MYPHOTO.JPG all mean the same thing. But not in Linux.

So if your foto is named MyPhoto.jpg and you use a link like www.mywebsite.com/myphoto.jpg it will work just fine in Windows. But in Linux that link won't work. In Linux the link has to be www.mywebsite.com/MyPhoto.jpg or you won't see the photo on your webpage.

Thanks to both of you for the help. Your suggestions were of great help and I'm now up and running!

And, both of you are right to point out that I should have given more technical information. Thanks for not making any smart-ass comments or belittleing the new user. I will keep this in mind when posting the next problem I have.
