Author htdocs subdirectory not recognized on localhost

Hi,

I am using Apache 2, netscape 7.2, and IE 6.

I have a directory called "images" at my ISP underneath that is under my
main webpage area, "/webdocs" and contains some GIF files which, in turn,
render fine. And I reference them in my main page with
"/webdocs/images/test.gif" , for example.

I don't have the same luck with my local installation wherein I am using
Apache and am trying for similar results in a directory called
"\htdocs\images". Everything renders fine from the parent, "Apache2\htdocs"
directory, but not from its subdirectory. (with Netscape, I get a vertically
shortened partial image, and with IE, I get an error.)

Any thoughts?

thanks

-john

At a guess, if "/webdocs" is the root directory for web pages,
your pages should use "/images/test.gif" or "images/test.gif" (or
possibly even "/USERNAME/images/test.gif" depending on setup).

Same thing here, unless I've misunderstood something.
Use "/images/..." etc. on your pages.
