Admin stylesheet, setting a background image - forbidden

[nigelt74]

Ok before you all ask i know how to set a background image and yes the image is there, and yes I have tried changing various settings/permissions.

Basically all i want is to set background images on various parts of admin using the stylesheet

This is my call in the admin stylesheet.css

body {
background-image: url("images/header-bar.jpg");
background:#fff;
color:#333333;
font-size:12px ;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

However nothing appears, so when i try directly accessing the file (while logged into admin)

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /admin/includes/images/header-bar.jpg on this server.

When i check my server logs I get

[Mon Jan 16 18:23:48 2012]
[error]
[client my-ip]
client denied by server configuration: /home/grumpyki/grumpykiwi.com/html/admin/includes/images

So i am guessing you cannot access images from the admin images folder via the stylesheet?

It's probably blocked by .htaccess, but that would only happen if you've altered the original .htaccess files supplied with Zen Cart.

Question, why don't you use the /admin/images/ folder instead of /admin/includes/images/ ?

Doh, thankyou i just needed to change the css call

from

background-image: url("images/header-bar.jpg");

to

background-image: url("../images/header-bar.jpg");


I somehow missed that it was adding the include folder
