 Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2003 7:31 pm Post subject: Pictures and a Mac - JPG & GIF |
 |
|
| Hello! I am running the server on my webpage (www.woollum.com), and it works beautifully! My question to you is: Why won't my .jpg's and .gif's show up on a Mac computer? the site works fine on PC's, but not Macs. I know that Mac's cannot read files like .bmp's and the likes but I thought they worked fine with the .jpg's and .gif's? Please help, Brett W |

I don't think Abyss Web Server supports Mac's right now , does the server even run on your Mac, if it does than I don't know what else to say.

| No, I might have phrased this wrong... I am running it on Win XP, and it works fine... I am saying, going over to a Mac and typing in my domain. It shows the page but not the pictures. Please help! -Brett W |

Ok I see what you mean now , are you hosting your entire site on your Win XP machine or just the pictures , this will give me a idea on your problem ?

| The whole entire site! EVERYTHING! The user types in www.woollum.com and then is redirected to my IP. Thanks for your assistance! -Brett W |

| I am not too sure. I WANT to say that is OS 9.? or so and Netscape is the browser. These are the computers at school. If you are on a Mac, can you see the pictures? Thanks! -BW |

Try this , go to your htdocs and make a new HTML document called test.html and type the following image code.
| Code: | | <img src="/your_image.jpg"> |
This will give you a basic idea of the problem , it maybe a bad URL or something else , than broswe to http://localhost/test.html on your Abyss Hosted computer.
Do you see the images now , if so use your real web site address http://www.woollum.com/test.html and point to that same page , you should see your image load even though you never typed a full URL to your image.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If This solved your ploblem with the images , just use this method Above.

| Do all of this even though I can see the images perfectly fine on a PC? That's the same code I use for the images. |

Going slightly off topic... Over 1mb for your index page including images ? 8O The linked jpeg's in the gallery are only 432 x 288 pixels but some of them are 1.5mb... Maybe the Mac is just timing out before it finishes loading them ?
Looking through it now to see if i can see anything odd other than the image sizes...

| 1 MB? I calculated about 300-400k... However you are calculating this, it might be off because off a CGI redirecting script I have... That may cause it to go all funny... Let me know if you see anything wrong in there. |

Well, viewing it in Opera it gets to image 23/24 and then keeps counting up and up on the page size, went over 1.5mb... I'm thinking your redirect script is doing something odd. Mac OS 9 is getting on now so unless the browser's been upgraded maybe you're doing something that newer versions of IE forgive but the old Mac browser can't handle.
http://64.139.5.180:8080/cgi-bin/Main%20Page_files/
Not good to leave your cgi dirs indexable but that's beside the point...
http://64.139.5.180:8080/cgi-bin/Main%20Page_files/mainpic.JPG is listed as 1mb on its own... Think something's breaking somewhere. |

I am guessing that it is OS9, but maybe not. Either way, any suggestions? I am surprised that it says it's over 1.5mb... Wonder why!?!? Well, I don't really know how to fix that, or maybe it's just those Mac's in particular that don't like this.

Another topic maybe you guys can answer: I have the Abyss running my webpage. What I would like some help on is: Does anyone out there know how I could get some Serial or Parallel data onto an HTML page? What this is supposed to do is: I have a website about out Koi Fish pond in the backyard. I have an area where a person logs in and can view stuff about the pond like the temp and water level. I need to get the live/updated data to the HTML page. If I could input serial data, that's how I want to do it. Please help! -Brett W |

There's lots of simple programs for reading data from serial / parallel ports - you could set one of them up to run from cgi and dump data to a file to be displayed on the page, have it refresh every x seconds.
What size are the actual files on your PC (rather than me going by what they're being listed as by Opera / IE) ? |

| I know the Index.htm(l) page is either 11 or 16kb, and the total of the whole pictures folder minus the 2 images i don't use was 240kb or so...... BUT, silly me! I just realized that the main image on the front of the homepage is the 1mb file. hmmmmmmmmmm..... Bet I could fix that! ;-) What program do you suggest for the data from the port? I have NEVER seen anything like this. Thanks a bunch! -Brett |
