Cannot display .JPGs...

I have a simple web site (just a few pages) running on my computer (IIS in
WinXP Pro), on which is a table where a cell uses a .JPG file as a
background. Locally, the .JPG file displays exactly as intended.

But over the Internet, the .JPGs will not display. If I change them to
.GIFs, they display fine (so it's not a relative directory problem).

Anyone know why that is?

Thanks.

Hello,

Please take a look in the log files (C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles) and see
if there are any requests for these jpg-files.

Do you have ZoneAlarm installed on this machine? Some version(s) causes
problems with serving files with IIS.

I looked in the log file, and all references to the JPG files are followed
by 401 (not sure what that means, but they *are* in the same directory as
the GIFs that display correctly).

I do have ZoneAlarm, but it's not running when I'm accessing the site by
Internet.

Thanks.

401 means "Unathorized". If you browse the image directly (
http://site/image.jpg ), do you get any additional information?

Check the NTFS settings on the files. Maybe the anonymous user account (if
used) does not have read access?

There used to be a buggy version of one of the firewall programs that
caused this. If you have a personal firewall on this, other than the
Windows one, try disabling it.

Hi,

Well, checking the Security tab in the Properties of the .JPG files, I found
that they were missing three Group or Usernames (which exist on the GIF
files I *can* see):

Users
Launch IIS Process Account
Internet Guest Account

I copied others into the website root and they received the appropriate
permissions, above. But when I place another copy of the original JPGs
(overwriting the existing ones), they do not receive the permissions.

Any idea why that might be?

Thanks.

Also,

I discover that if I delete the original files from the web folder, *then*
copy the files back in, they *do* receive the permissions.

Must have been something I did out of order at the start... (I'm guessing).

I dont know what happened. That is a file system issue.

So it is working now?

Yes.

Thanks to all for taking the time to consider the problem.
