I uploaded this new site but none of the images are showing. I originally uploaded using built-in ftp (as I usually do) with separate resources folder checked. That didn’t work, so I uploaded again with the images in the same folder as the html. I have checked through the server control panel and everything is all in the same folder. The html-only pages seem fine.
It’s worth mentioning that I changed the dns settings for this domain earlier, but since the domain has migrated OK and the html appears I can’t see how that is the issue.
I can’t identify if this is a Freeway issue or a server/hosting issue. I think it is more likely to be something I have done (or not done) rather than any bug. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Digging into this deeper I think I may have to look elsewhere. Having looked at the site via web inspector it is saying that there is a permissions issue -
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (forbidden)
I’ll try contacting support at the hosting company, but in the meantime if anyone can shed any light on this or point me in another direction it would be appreciated.

Another update - I had a response from Tech Support which isn’t a lot of use to me. It suggests changing the .htaccess file:
"As I see the problem is related to /home/user/public_html/.htaccess file. When I tried to rename it to something like “.htaccess_back”, your http://nataliedowse.co.uk started to work.
So, please check /home/user/public_html/.htaccess file to get your site working in correct way."
This doesn’t help me much - even if I could see the file (and I can’t locate it) I wouldn’t know what to do with it. The Apache server tutorial recommends leaving well alone, which is good enough for me.
I should be able to have up to 20 domains here. Please - has anyone encountered anything like this?

Phil, I would use something like the free Cyberduck to look at all the files on the server. The full stop before htaccess renders the file generally invisible but FTP applications can show it. You could rename the file but removing the full stop should also be enough to disable it.

Gordon - thank you very very much. That did the trick. I used Cyberduck and also in the process discovered a ‘show dot files’ function in the control panel which revealed the errant .htaccess file.
Best, Phil
