certain PNG images cannot be shown on website

[ke6rwj]

So I'm not a noob at this, but i cant seem to find out the situation here..

 

running CentOS 4 with Apache version: Apache/2.0.52

 

I have 20 images in a website.  I see certain PNG and GIF images no problem.

 

others do not show up at all in the directory listing.

 

I changed the security on all the images to 777 / owner apache / group apache

I checked the magic type of the files and they are identical...

 

so im at a loss.  The Apache conf is default for this installation, nothing that looks like it is limiting the extension... but if it was other PNG would fail.  Its not a filesize thing, because there are other images that are larger that do work... so...

 

I thought this was an image protection system in the conf, but I can link directly to other images in the same directory no problem. even PNG's.

 

thanks.

 

one other thing the error i get is "forbidden"...403.  when trying to go directly to the image, but other PNG i dont...

well still dont know why apache showed me Forbidden... but here is what i did.

 

I open the files up in gimp and save as a different name.  (with the same extension) and they work.

 

funny because KDE shows them, all apps dont say they are bad or anything...

 

thats my workaround
