When moving a site from a staging environment to a production environment, .png image

  • 0

When moving a site from a staging environment to a production environment, .png image files are not being shown. When going to the image directly, firefox reports:

The image (image-path) cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I’ve checked mime.types in my apache config, and it contains a line for

image/png png

does anyone know what could be causing this? I’ve never encountered this before.

    1. check .htaccess file url rewrite or any permission/restrictions etc.

    2. upload any png image and try to open it browser using direct path to ur png file. such as http://localhost/images/test.png (if it works fine, it means your apache process your png successfully fully)

    3. check if you have created any symbolic link your images directory in your previous server(host).

    4. check your directory permissions.

    5. clear your browser cache.

    6. check your appach virtual host file httd.conf in your preivous host. may be previous there has been created some alias or something like that.
      httpd.conf:
      …

       <VirtualHost www.mydomain.com:80>
             ServerAdmin hostmaster@www.mydomain.com
             DocumentRoot /home/www/www.mydomain.com/htdocs
             ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/
             ServerName www.mydomain.com
             Alias /images/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/images/
             Alias /pictures/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/upload/
             Alias /errors/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/errors/
             Alias /catalog/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/catalog/
             ErrorLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/error_log
             CustomLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/access_log
             ScriptLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/script_log
             ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html
             ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html
             ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html
