GIF files are not being served or displayed

[rchurch]

After installing GIMP on my Win2000 computer and configuring it as the program for viewing GIF files, many of the graphics are not appearing in my browser. The server which l did not install GIF files on is also showing the same problem.

 

After logging from a different machine altogether it seems that the server has stopped serving a lot of the GiF files.

Does something have to be reset for the files to show up?

The problem does not appear to relate to the GIF settings at all.

 

In order to protect my admin folder I used a .htaccess file and put a

 

<Directory />

 

 

<Directory>

 

in my httpd.conf file.

 

After changing the directory to the whole path of the admin folder '/sites/www.onlinestore.com/htdocs/admin', instead of just the root '/' , the problem went away.

 

<Directory /sites/www.onlinestore.com/htdocs/admin>

AllowOverride AuthConfig

</Directory>
