acabiya Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Something similar happened to me on my first install, I just reloaded all the images on a Binary mode. If you load your images in ASCII the images won’t show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally Lost Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 More likely, the images are distorted. Yep images are indeed in the location they should be, how exactly to i reload them in "Binary" mode, if that is indeed the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just figured out the Binary/ASCII mode settings, it was already in Binary mode - so that's not the issue, any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I erased all my .jpg which were not showing up and replaced them with .gif which do show up for some reason, not a fix but rather a work around :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhil Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 One of three things happened... 1) Your JPEG files were no good (corrupted somewhere on your PC)... can you display your JPEG files on your PC from your browser (File > Open File > navigate to directory and click on name)? If you can display them OK, proceed to #2. 2) You somehow uploaded your JPEG files in ASCII, rather than binary (yes, I know you think you did it in binary)... before you erased them, did you try displaying a JPEG file (http://yoursite.com/image-directory/item-picture.jpg)? If they had displayed OK then,... 3) You uploaded the JPEG files to the wrong place (although, since you found and erased them, and successfully replaced them with GIF images, that's an unlikely scenario). The JPEG files had to have arrived on your site in a corrupted state. All browsers know how to display GIF and JPEG files, but some photo programs do produce "strangely formatted" JPEG image files. These are nonstandard and really shouldn't be called "JPEG". Maybe that's what happened to you. Are you able to load your JPEG image files into a standard image editor such as Photoshop or GIMP? There are probably some other editors you could try, too. If they don't load there, you may have started with a problem of a non-standard JPEG. I've heard of this happening; I don't have any product names I could give you as "bad actors" in JPEG. Anyway, it would be good to find out where the problem is, rather than being content with a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it would be good to find out where the problem is, rather than being content with a workaround. 1. yes, i could view all my .jpg from directly 2. im 100% sure they were in Binary, and i could indeed see them by resolving to the file/photo itself 3. Not the wrong place, as you mentioned i erased them and replaced them with .gif files Anyway, NOW the .gif's arnt showing up either, what the heck is goin on?!? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhil Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Anyway, NOW the .gif's arnt showing up either, what the heck is goin on?!? :blink: Can you see them, invoking them directly from the browser address bar? You've checked that they're still there and haven't been erased? Do you have "hot link protection" that doesn't include your site domain name in the whitelist? Can you download one of the images and see if it displays OK on your PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
