Directory Help Please Options

[marynmissouri]

OK, so I still have the issue of not getting my images uploaded for some reason. I can get my webpage uploaded without the images and I have been working on this off and on for a few months now. I have switched my hosting as I had banners running at the top of my page through godaddy. *Not dissing godaddy*

I downleded this website and it's images and I go to upload into the directory and I dont ge my images? I right click and see the directory so I go and add more to my directory.

Would someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I use Filezilla.

Here is a preview: Directory: mysite.com

ADD: images

So I have this directory: httpdocs://mysite//images



So it looks like this when I type it in: http://www.mysite.com/my-web

Visually there is no images just red x's where the images go.

When I right click on the images it says: http://www.mysite.com/my-web/images/menue 1h gif


So my main directory is: mysite (all lowercase)

EXAMPLE: httpdocs//mysite

and then I add: images (into the directory)

EXAMPLE: httpdocs//mysite//images

If anyone has any suggestions I'm willing to listen.

Oh, does it matter were I download all of my work that I do on my pages?

And as far as Database... Do I need to create a database that says: mysite_images and when I add more just add more to the datdtbase?

I'm terribly confused at this point I been reading Too Much!

Will this effect my files?

Thank You

Mary

okay; i do see your actual site now, and it's back to the problem you were having in the first place. i'd say let's start back from step one.

when you log in to your FTP program, what you see depends on both the FTP program and your hosting company. it varies so much from one company for the next, so i can only have a general idea of what it might look like. most places will have a "public_html" folder you can go into. inside that should be another folder called "marynmissouri.com". i'm sure you know that's where you'll be storing all of your files.

if you don't already have a folder inside there called "images" then you'll need to create that. earlier when you didn't have the index file uploaded, i found an images folder, but there weren't any images inside it. have you uploaded those?

i'm not sure how you'll be setting up your site as it gets more developed, but you might need to change a few things.

you're calling your style sheet like this:

CODE

<LINK rel="StyleSheet" href="styles.css">

that will work, but only if the different pages you go to are in the same directory as the style sheet.

for example, you have a page called "www.marynmissouri.com/webdesign-templates.html". if you were to do something like "www.marynmissouri.com/webdesign-templates/" and have the index.html file inside of the "webdesign-templates" directory, the style sheet would NOT be read. instead, you'd have to change your codes around to look like this, with a slash in front:

CODE

<LINK rel="StyleSheet" href="/styles.css">

right now i think your biggest problem is just making sure that you actually have the images uploaded to your server, and that they're in the right place.
