PFMaBiSmAd Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Unfortunately, Apache on case-sensitive operating systems causes URL's to be case-sensitive. You need to use the exact same capitalization as your folders names in any link/url - Images I would recommend using all lower-case for folders and file names. P.S. You have options indexes on, which allows directory browsing (browse to any folder path.) You also don't have a default document in your root folder. You need a .htaccess file with Options -Indexes to prevent directory browsing.
