I uploaded a site that was working fine in my old server, but now the GIF or JPEG or ANY OTHER PICTURE for that matter, refuses to show up on my page.
Everything else works.
I build and continue to add to this site with Dreamweaver CS and everything works during the test.
I have all files in /public_html/ all under addon site ( checkthespot . com ).
I can see the images fine when I put the link in IE. http: // www.checkthespot . com/images/ THEN images/BouncyBall_1.gif and so on, but when I open the page, the image does not load even though everything else (text, links etc) work fine.
PLS HELP!!!
I got this answer from "ISPUTRA", which made sence...
I have this kind of problem a few years ago and it happen because i uploaded with ascii mode. Switch to binary mode and upload again fix my problem.
SO I SEARCHED DREAMWEAVE CS AND FOUND THIS IN THE EXTENTIONS HELP MENU......
Changing FTP mappings
The FTPExtensionMap.txt file (Windows) and the FTPExtensionMapMac.txt file (Macintosh) map filename extensions to FTP transfer modes (ASCII or BINARY).
Each line in each of the two files includes a filename extension (such as GIF) and either the word ASCII or the word BINARY, to indicate which of the two FTP transfer modes should be used when transferring a file with that extension. On the Macintosh, each line also includes a creator code (such as DmWr) and a file type (such as TEXT). When you download a file with the given filename extension on the Macintosh, Dreamweaver assigns the specified creator and file type to the file.
If a file that you are transferring doesn't have a filename extension, Dreamweaver uses the BINARY transfer mode.
Note: Dreamweaver cannot transfer files in Macbinary mode. If you need to transfer files in Macbinary mode, you must use another FTP client.
The following example shows a line (from the Macintosh file) that indicates that files with the extension .html should be transferred in ASCII mode:
HTML DmWr TEXT ASCII
In both the FTPExtensionMap.txt file and FTPExtensionMapMac.txt file (Macintosh), all elements on a given line are separated by tabs. The extension and the transfer mode are in uppercase letters.
To change a default setting, edit the file in a text editor.
To add information about a new filename extension:
1. Edit the extension-map file in a text editor.
2. On a blank line, enter the filename extension (in uppercase letters) and press Tab.
3. On the Macintosh, add the creator code, a tab, the file type, and another tab.
4. Enter ASCII or BINARY to set an FTP transfer mode.
5. Save the file
It did not help me. I added the (.PHP tab BINARY) using WordPad and all I got was the text ".PHP BINARY" on the page itself! I also played around with the (EDIT/FORMAT, CODE PREFERENCES) on Dreamweaver. Changed it around from CR LF for Windows, CR for Macs and LF for Unix systems.
I also made new pages (checkthespot . com/test.php, test2.php, test3.php) but had the same problem. I did notice that the htm pages did not show the ".HTML BINARY" like the PHP pages (test3.php)
This is what the top part of the page looks like now:
