Missing Images Seeing Red "x"

[Guest]

I am getting red 'x' on the catalog pages. I can make red 'x' appear and the images appear on the admin page but have not been successful in identifying the root cause of the incorrect configuration.

 

It seems like an obvious error in the configuration file but for the life of me I can not figure it out. Can you help me out?

 

This is the path for the images as shown in the properties:

 

http://domain.com/catalog/images/infobox/c..._right_left.gif

 

Here is the configure.php file

here is the physical path on the server as shown by oscommerce:

I list this because I am not sure what the // means and if it is correct?

 

Thank you for your assistance.

Well, where to start - it's either wrong or just plain missing:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourdomain.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');

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

 

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', ''); //Your MySQL User Name goes here

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', ''); //Your MySQL Password goes here

define('DB_DATABASE', 'osCommerce');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // 'false' is correct

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // to store sessions in the database

Thank you, Vger. Unfortunately, it did not work. I read some of the threads on similar issues and without success as well. I am starting to think that I may have to reinstall. Any other suggestions? Or recommendation, regarding reinstall?

Reinstalls are seldom effective or useful. Give us a link to the site and we'll probably find the problem in a few minutes.

Thank you for the offer. I was not sure if indeed reinstalling was the right thing.

 

The site is www.taylorsuccesssystems.com and the admin page can be found at:

 

http://taylorsuccesssystems.com/admin/index.php

 

To access the admin page, user: "open", password: "open"

Check the permissions on the images folder. Make them 777 for now

 

You don't have permission to access /catalog/images/table_background_default.gif on this server.

[Guest]

I have made the image folder 777. And proceed to add an image for a product. When I did the preview, I still got a red x and this is what the properties tag said:

 

http://taylorsuccesssystems.com/catalog//catalog/images/

 

I suspect there is not .../catalog//catalog/...folder. But where is the xtra, "//catalog" coming from? Any help would be appreciated.

 

thank you.
