my images don't display! please help!

i use phptriad, mysql dreamweaver and winXP

[guzzi]

i use phptriad (which includes phpmyadmin and a dos based version of the apache server), mysql (i'm not sure which version but i'm sure that it doesn't matter as far as my problem is concerned), i develop my php pages in dreamweaver (but i do not use the build in php features, i code what i want manually)locally on my pc (ie. [localhost...] and i run all this on windows xp with service pack 1a and IE 6 service pack 1 (just in case anyone knows if those things may be causing my problem)

right, now that you all know what stuff i'm using i'll explain what my probelm is. there is no pictures displayed in my web pages when i test them! :(
to be more exact when i put a image in the html section of my php page (ie. <img src = "foo.gif" width = 123 height = 123>)the image does not display when i test the page on my machine

Does the image display in your browser outside of the html page (http://localhost/foo.gif)?

1)Are you referencing the correct path (folder)?

<img src = "../images/foo.gif"

2)Are you using "https://..."?

did you recently upgrade zonealarm to 5?

I have the same problem, images don't load in the localhost. It started after installing zonealarm 5. I unstalled zonealarm but problems are still with me.

* No the image does not display when i type in [localhost...]

* the images are in the same directory as my php files so i don't think that i need to user <img src = "../images/foo.gif" ...

* no i am not using https

* no i don't use zone alarm, i've got a hardware firewall at work

thanks for the replies guys, but i'm still stuck and still desparate. :(

Most importantly, what does the Apache

error.log

file say?

encyclo, you are a genius! thanx you solved my problem. all my web pages are sotre on a secondary hdd, and the apache server is running off my primary hdd so the images have to be placed in the c:\apache\htdocs folder, then they work. thanx all you guys for your help :)
