Images not displaying

[Gee Bee]

Hi,

I am having a problem getting images to display in a site, the following works fine,

<img src="images/header.jpg" width="800" height="75" />

But

<img src="/images/header.jpg" width="800" height="75" />

does not (note the / at the start of images).

The problem is that the whole site used to be served on a different server and uses the second example (it all worked fine) now however we have swapped servers and are having the problems. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's not displaying? I have checked and double checked that the file exists in the images directory.

Thanks

I'm guessing you have swapped from a Windows server to a Linux/Unix variant.

That leading '/' has a totally different meaning.

On Windows it just means the current directory.

On Linux/Unix it means the root directory.

You need a block find and replace tool to change all the image links.

../images/header/

Already tried what you sugested moojoo but again it came up without the image, both servers are running linux although i dont know which variation, and
the document_root is set properly. Its not too much of an issue, will just have to change all the links but if anyone has any further ideas...
