This is topic Hmm I seem to have technical difficulties with the website im maintaining in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
Before it was working fine but then suddenly alot of the pictures/buttons stopped working, thee used to be a series of little buttons that played a sound when you hovered your mouse over it but now there's only a big white bar.
supposedly the picture code is src=picture.gif I tried uploading replacement pictures but it still doesnt work.

So did you move them into a sub-directory or something, and then forget to change the pointer path?
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
I changed absolutely nothing involving the images or the swf files so thats whats bugging me.

Someone changed something. Are the images in the same directory as the HTML? What are the permissions on the images, and what are the permissions on the HTML documents?
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
the server has a password/username it is possible someone else knows themm i do not know where usually they are kept because it didnt occur to me to keep track where all the files were, I had started off adding "site maintained by Blayne Bradley" at the button when a few days ago this happened.
However on my hardisk i keep some of the html files, if i put a replacement picture in the same folder a picture s displayed at its corresponding place.
but when I do that n the server the picture still doesn't appear Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
Answer my questions.
Go to the server (preferably using SSH). Is listennow.gif in the same folder as index.html?
If they are in the same folder, verify that if you change this index.html (a word somewhere), the one we see changes. That makes certain we're looking at the right folder.
Now, find out the permissions on the files in this folder. I suggest typing "ls -al" while ssh'd to that folder. Then copy and paste the permissions for index.html and listennow.gif and post them here.

fugu13 knows. He's been there.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
it is not in the same folder, and for some reason I cant use putty or the ssh client only an ftp program to upload/download files from it.
None of the swf's or the gif's that are missing are in he index folder or afaik anywhere on the server at all, i checked every folder.

Then you know what your problem is!
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
Okay I figured out the problem with the previous problem of the relacement picture not working, I had gif in all uppercase while the html code wanted all lowercase.
someone probably DID change something.
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
The case of your filename should be exactly the same as the case in your HTML. I strongly suggest just adopting all lowercase.
And yeah, not having the images in the folder would be a limiting factor
I hope you're able to find out what happened to them.

Somebody found out you weren't guarding against SQL injection, or whatever the problem was on your other thread, and decided to teach you a lesson. Be glad the images only disappeared. Me, I would have replaced them with porn, then alerted your university admin.

As funny as it would be, that's not really a possible outcome. This is a totally different site that isn't dynamic as far as I can tell, plus Blayne hasn't really changed any of it yet. The issue he had with SQL injection wasn't publicly accessible, it was just an assignment he was developing on his own box. The previous 'petition' page wasn't vulnerable to SQL injection, just HTML injection. And SQL injection can't delete image files off a hard drive.
