Topic: gallery opens locally but not on the web

Hi I am having great troubles uploading my images.

I have a illustrationgallery.php file.

When I send my webiste: http://aminatajoseph.com/IllustrationGallery.php locally using mamp all works fine. However once using Cyberduck( a ftp software) well the website cannot find the location of my illustration.


I have tried re-uploading.
Setting permission in cyberduck
reseting the illustration links

but nothing seems to work???

Re: gallery opens locally but not on the web

There is a 403 Forbidden message when trying to access your http://aminatajoseph.com/my_gallery_fol … llery.html page so the first thing to do would be to change the permissions on the file (and parent folders) so that users can access the page.

As a test, try logging into your web space with your FTP program and upload a complete gallery folder (not just the contents). (For this test, it does not matter where you upload the gallery folder to as long as you know where it is.)
You should now be able to view the gallery on a page of its own by opening the gallery's 'index.html' page in a browser.

If this works OK, then the next stage would be to embed the gallery in an existing web page.
You could leave the gallery folder exactly as it is on your web server from the last step and embed the gallery using the baseUrl method of embedding as documented here.

If you are having trouble with permissions on your web server or with uploading files and folders to your web server, please contact your web host who should be able to help you further.
