No pictures

I have this weird probelm happening right now and can't figure it out.

On this one website ( http://americanrebels.net ) I can't see any pictures only text. I thouht maybe I didn't upload the image files correctly, but just checked and they are all there. I'v tried two different computers and two different browsers (IE and Opera)
Also with the forums related to the site I don't see the buttons. I see the text to the buttons but not the actual button that loads.

I've talked to othe people and none of them have this problem. I tried clearing my cache and restarting but that didn't work.

any ideas?

I can't see the pictures either.

Did you upload them to the right directory?
Do they have the correct permissions?

Just looking at the source, I took a pic.

http://americanrebels.net/images/AmerRebel%20Flags.jpg

I get a

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /images/AmerRebel Flags.jpg on this server.

So, if the image is there, then it looks like a permissions problem.

Maybe the guy who uploaded the pics didn't set the permission like you said.

Guess I'll go check it real quick.

thanks.

Yes, looks like thats the problem.

If you look at:

http://americanrebels.net/images/

Try to open a pic. You get permissions error.

See you're running apache. If on linux, set the files to 755.
(at least, thats what I use on my school website)

The site loaded alright for me. There were no images in the screeshot area though.
Have included a screenshot of what I got. (2 actually -- in a zip file)

I can open all the pitchures too from the index page. i am using XP with Firefox and proxomitron.

Chey, i'm still having that problem. Do you have a backup of the database? Try taking one, bring it offline and restore it.

Other than that...i'm out of Ideas. Our AO clan forum doesnt have this problem :(

Oh yeah...try getting a service ticket from BBGN.

moxnix: Interesting that you can get it. I still can't. Weird...

I just tried with mozilla firebird, opera, netscape and IE6... all denied.

well phish, some of the other members dont have this issue.

see thats whaty I'm saying.

I tried even setting the permissions to 777 for a second but that didn't even work.

I am completely clueless here.

its gotta be some type of browser issue.

wait...

what admin do u have? Check what menthos and the other's have for admin...and set yourself to that.

Well I have root FTP access to the whole site.

Maybe its blocking only some IPs?

If I use proxy 64.30.49.133 port 8000 I CAN get it.

If I use my ip 141.151.71.x I CAN'T get it.

I'm using philly verizon dsl...

Its hit or miss depending on IP.

12.173.169.11 port 8000 is another sucessful one. (MUCH FASTER)

I still can't get through on my ip.

hmmm...

the strange thing though is aht I could get it about 3 days ago then all of a suddend I couldn't get the pics anymore.

Here is a silly thought......maybe it has something to do with speed of your connection. I am on dialup and when phishphreek80 used a proxy ( which would slow thing down a bit) he could get it.
Just a thought.

good idea. but some proxies work some don't. they all slow me to a crawl... :confused:

cheyenne: try the second proxy I listed. see if that works for you.

w3rd

it does work using that proxy, but its slow. lol

I think I'll talk to the web support people.

I just renewed my ip to a different subnet and I still am denied.

just a quick observation... don't know if its true for everyone...

When using a proxy that only has a two digit starting number ex. 12, 64, 65, etc. I can view pictures.
When using a proxy that has a three digit starting number 141, 210, 212, 193, etc. I can't view pictures.

I didn't test all that many though. Maybe a half dozen or so...

Oh, one more thing. It always works when I use a proxy with port 8000...

Just wanted to throw a couple of quick observations out there.

hmmm.....my ISP is 66.XXX.XXX.XXX. 2 digit number starting it.

why would it do that though? As for the internet connection I'm on Comcast Broadband...It worked for me 2 days ago but anymore. I dont use a proxy. I'd defenitely check with theBBGN cheyenne.

If you don't have permissions, just crawl the site & take them for all they are worth. I've collected over 300mgb of pictures, off one celebrity site in one sitdown(20-30min). That site does not look to advanced so SAM SPADE should handle that one, if not let me know I have something a lot more powerful for serious crawling.
PS: if you use a firewall you will be getting a DDOS attack during the use. (Firewalls*fart)
Oh and with proxies I always try to us ones that start with 24. , for obvious reasons. ;)

Hope that helps, good luck

What other site crawler do you use?

Well i just visited the site, and everything seems to be working fine for me..
I used Internet Explorer 5.5, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera and they all worked fine, i then tried again with Proxomitron turned off and they still worked.
So i guess that there is something sinister going on if hardly anyone can see the pictures..
Here i included 3 screen dumps of the front-page, so like yeah don't have no suggestion's on what to do.
But i defiantly hope that you sort it out cheyenne.

cheers
.:front2back:.

Just a update on this.

Today I got on another computer on my network which uses the same connection, and it showed the page just fine.

The only difference between the two computers is that one is XP pro and the other is XP home.

cheyenne...actually its showing me the page fine now too...on the same computer that I was having problems with...and I didn't change anything on it.

Well I'm still having the same problems on my computer, but on the other computer, it works fine.

Hmm...

Quick thought: Try ad-aware and spy-bot really quick...just to eliminate those factors.

If that does nothing, then i'm out of Ideas lol...I guess for me it just started working on its own.

HOLY **** IT WORKS

I did absolutely nothing except refresh the page and all of a sudden, it worked.

Talk about strange.

cheyenne, yep. works for me too.

Have any idea what was causing the problem? Did you ever contact support?

I could'nt see it at first but then i disabled zone alarm(firewall) and i could see the pics

found out what it was. my firewall has a pop up blocker componet and i disabled it and it worked





open atachment to see what i meen

wow.

Well it stopped working for me right after I posted that but I know what it is know. Its exactly what you said disturb. With Norton on I can't see it, but with it off, it works.

One of our guys started putting all those adds on there. I think I'm gonna go through and clean them up. lol

thanks for all the help guys.

What ads?? Oh, ok....if I turn my Proxomitron off and use IE6 then there are adds.

Just saw this post.. Did you figure it out yet? If you get to antsy email me at [email protected] and I'll take a look into it. Web design is my business ;)

yo madness :) watsup man.

Check out our new site: http://www.ao-clan.net

Cheyenne...I see what you mean, well I get no popups but my firewall blocks around 1000 of them a day from simple surfing. The odd thing is, that I didn't disable either my firewall or AV, and it started working again on its own. (They're both Norton + D-Link Router)

I'm confused :confused:

hmm..

Yeah my firewall is norton and linksys router.

I think its something to do with the adds taht methos put on there. Not sure if its set up so we get money or what, but I think I need to take some of them off. lol

Thanks for the offer xmaddness but we got it figured out now. You oughta drop by our cs server some time though. Out of 7000 servers we are #700 its a 20 player server now and its nearly always over 11 people playing.

As cybrid told you, our site is http://ao-clan.net and forums @ http://ao-clan.net/forum

I'm up for a 2 week break in the storm soon. Looking very forward to it.. I can guarantee I will be buy the server for a few rounds... ;)

But now I'm off to the bar for some drinks...

I didn't really read the thread to much just cause I was zooming thru, but as always, just email me and I'll see what I can do for you.

When you knifed in the back sometime next weeks, you'll know I'm back...
