**Kicks freewebs**

How do you upload a site made in Dreamweaver without losing all the images? It's really annoying! The text shows up, but there's no background and all my images appear as lovely red Xs. Is there a way to do this without having to re-upload and host all the pics? >.<;

how is your site's dir structure set up? (like do u have a images folder?)

dreamweaver SHOULD upload all the relevant folders when you upload the site.. just double check that it did so. if not, manually upload them. (in the correct places, of course)

*blinks* Er... you did upload all the images to the same server, right? Have you made sure they're all pointing to the right URLs?

Well, it doesn't. If it does, Freewebs has decided to hid it. >.>; I'll try the Folders things, thanks.

If you can, use an FTP program to upload the files. I like to use WS_FTP Pro.

Unless I'm thinking of the wrong host, Freewebs only allows file manager uploads -- no FTP.

You have to upload the images from your computer to your website so they work. For example, if your webpage is "index.html" and the pictures on it are in "pictures/picture.jpg," then you would upload "index.html" to your webspace and then create the folder "pictures" and upload your image there. ^^; Then everything should turn up okay.

Deoxys55, are all your files, images and all that in one folder? At the start of creating your site in Dreamweaver, you define a site and specify which folder holds the files of your site. Then you just upload the contents of that folder to your server and it should be fine.

I suspect that you have all sorts of images scattered throughout your hard disk and when you upload those too, they won't show up because the file paths point to your hard disk and not the web server. Use directory-relative paths. (Dreamweaver automatically does this provided the images you use are within the folder you specified for your site)

So.. I have to change the name of the file it's linking to into the file's name/folder it's in on my freewebs? I've done that, it still only shows red Xs...
And I can't find where in the HTML for the site it links with the file's folder. O_o I'm an idiot when it comes to this. XD

Mmm... maybe you should try posting your code up here so we can see it. @_@;

o_O Your images need to be in a directory and the page needs to be in a subdirectory of the image directory... that's weird.
Lightning
November 3rd, 2004, 01:34 PM
Yeah... so that way, your images would have to be /you/image.jpg and your pages would have to be something like /you/something/page.html. @_@;

I think your page structure is just slightly stuffed up o_O. Your images should be in a subdirectory of the main folder...
