Hi,
I am totally new to this webserver business and the only reason i am trying it is because i do not yet want to pay for webhosting and i dont want an advertising banner from the 'free' webhosts.

anyway, i am slowly getting to grips with this - but why are my pictures not showing?

All help appreciated, thanks

cymru78,

This is usually because your HTML code that refers to these images uses wrong URLs. Please post here the code of a small HTML page that fails to show images and we'll tell you what's wrong.

Is this the one you want? this page should show one picture (mini blimp).
I have basic knowledge of html but none of running my own server - as i said, id like to do it this way to save money and have no ads.

On my 'preview' (afraid im stuck with frontpage at moment) it all looks fine, but when i upload the picture on my server its just not showing. (picture NOT uploaded at present time)

www.GADGETANDGIZMOSTORE.CO.UK is under 127.0.0.1. There is something wrong there.
As for the other code, it looks as if its okay, except, instead of just having
"images/Homepage%20pics/RouletteWheel-homepage.jpg" insert your server ipadress at the begginning.

No, you do not need your IP address in the beginning.

src="Mini%20Blimp%20£25.99.jpg" means that the image is in the same directory as the HTML file. The other one refers to a directory lower than the one with the HTML file.

Also, the %20 isn't necessary.

cymru78,

Your HTML is OK. But have you copied the images/ directory inside the htdocs/ directory. It seems that you've only copied the HTML file in htdocs/ without the images.
