Broken Images in IE but not in Firefox

[JeffC]

Hello all, I have searched for a while and couldnt find anything that hit what my problem was.

 

My store is www.eurofied.com

 

In Firefox (havent checked Opera) it displays perfect.

But in IE all of my images are broken.

 

I have gone through, re downloaded oscommerce and made sure that the index.php file is the same in my puplic_html folder and in Includes > Languages > English folder.

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason!

 

I just had a similar issue yesterday adding ssl to my site. I am not an advanced user, but here is what I did yesterday to fix my IE problem:

 

First make sure part of your your config file looks like mine:

 

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

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

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'heptag.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'heptag.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/shop/osc/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/osc/');

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

 

and make sure you fill in similar responses to your admin/includes config file as needed.

 

Good luck, let me know if it works.

and actually, now that I take a closer look, it appears that you haven't entered your domain name properly in the config file.

 

all of your links are broken because they are directed to http:///??

 

open your config file located at the first includes folder and make sure these are proper:

 

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

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

This is one of your image pathways:

http:///images/oscommerce.gif

and this is why they don't display in IE.

 

Firefox has better error handling capabilities than IE and will 'assume' a file pathway even if it is not defined in your configure.php files - IE won't.

 

Follow the advice above and edit both configure.php files., but don't fill in the https parts if you don't have ssl configured for your site.

:( Ok, I copy pasted stargirlnine's config stuff, and edited it for mine. Now It doesnt display at all in IE, and all the images are broken in firefox

Hi jeff!

 

sorry i called you jason above, I don't know where I got that from! Anyways,

 

are you on ssl? if not you aren't (i made that assumption earlier), change your config files to reflect this:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.heptag.com'); // eg, https://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', 'heptag.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'heptag.com');

[JeffC]

No worries ;)

 

 

Tried that and still get the same thing

 

here is what my config looks like

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.eurofied.com'); // eg, https://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', 'eurofied.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'eurofied.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/shop/osc/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/osc/');

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

How long has your domain been on the server? I ask because your image pathways are now correct, but it does take 24 hrs for a domain to propagate on a new server.

Its been on here for a few months.

[stargirlnine]

aha! it appears that you moved all of your files to the root folder.

 

I am not as familiar with doing this, i don't know if your store it is fully compatible to do that, maybe VGER knows that.

 

Since your root is in your index, change this part of your configs to:

 

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');
