Images suddenly stopped displaying.

[eddiebett]

I have had this site up for about 5 years and it worked fine. All of the sudden the product images do not show up in the listings just the image name shows. Not doing anything different.

The site is http://www.thehandsomewoodman.com. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am also going to move and update it to another server if possible. It is such an old version.

Your images are triggering a "500 Internal Server Error", presumably because someone has done something on your site to set exclusion rules for files in your /images folder.

Example: http://thehandsomewoodman.com/images...dyDSC_0447.jpg ... visiting that URL displays the error.

Probable cause: I'm guessing someone has altered the /images/.htaccess file or has added a /.htaccess file which blocks images from displaying.
Zen Cart comes with a /images/.htaccess file (and similar (but different) .htaccess files exist in many other Zen Cart subdirectories. But Zen Cart does NOT come with one in the "root" folder, ie: your public_html or www folder where the top of all your Zen Cart files are located. If there's a /.htaccess file there then that was added by you or someone with access to your server.

Thank you I finally found it Renamed it and the photos showed back up. Thank You so much.

That shouldn't cause any problem.

In your hosting company's control panel, do you have access to the Apache errorlog? What kinds of errors are showing up there?
