No images appearing

[pinballpickup]

I have a problem, possibly a configue.php problem (because it is the only file i have edited).

 

The problem is that i have no images appearing on my catalog pages*. I have entered my database server username, database server password, data=base name and changed my store sessions to 'mysql' within the configure file.

 

If i remove any of these entered values i get a '1046 - no database selected ...' message.

 

I would be grateful for any help or recommendations,

 

thanks in advance,

PINBALLPICKUP.

as I see it in IE, your base href tag is empty.

Thaks for the quick response.

 

Sorry, not that clued up... where is the base href tag?

 

Is it not a catalog/includes/configure.php problem; as that is the only file i have changed?

don't think so, when you open any php main file you will see this statement within the header tags:

 

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>">

 

that would normally result in a line in your outputted html of :

 

<base href="http://www.your_server.com/"> or

 

<base href="https://www.your_server.com/">

 

In your output it says :

 

<base href="">

 

resulting in IE that all images and links miss your server name.

I checked the properties of an image, and got this:

http:///images/dvd/blade_runner.gif

 

So I think it is an includes/configure problem

 

try

 

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

 

 

it looks like you might have:

 

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', '/images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

 

or you might have a / at the end of

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://yoursiteaddress'blah blah (right after address!)
