No Images on remote browser

[pobman]

Hello,

 

I have just finished my first full install of oscommerce. I have followed the preinstall and post install guide perfectly and checked all my permissions on the relevent folders and files however, when I view the site on a remote computer I only get the place holders and no images, this in explorer and firefox but on the the local linux server it all works fine. I have checked the permissons on the /var/www/html/catalog/images folder and images, but do not understand why this is not working.

 

Can anyone please offer some advice.

 

:'(

 

Thanks in Advance

Can you post your URL? It could give some good insight into this issue.

 

Also posting your /catalog/includes/configure.php variables isn't a bad idea either, just do not post the database logins at the bottom of that page. :)

Thanks for you very fast response, I am unable to post teh url at present as the site is currently hosted on a vmware pc in test enviroment, however I can post any configs required.

My initial thought is that unless you are hitting it from the http://localhost/somefolder/catalog/ it would not display the images properly. Especially if you are trying to hit it internally even from an internal IP address it properly would give the same issues due to security settings on your server.
