when I am uploading an image into serverside, and saved in a specific folder. Then on the next page I have to show that uploaded image. But I cant show it using the html img tag . what is wrong with this?.Can any one help me to solve this problem?
You likely need to make sure that the folder that you are uploading the images is accessible through the web server your are using, this would mean both that it's location is mapped to something on the web server and also that the web server has permission to read the image files after they have been created.
I would start by looking to make sure that the files are actually showing up in the folder that you expect them to be in, and that they aren't being cleared out by something.
Second, check if you manually place an image in that folder if you can navigate to the url of the image. If you can't it likely isn't mapped or there is a permissions issue.
You can test to see if the URLs of the images are working. Instead of just checking it through an img tag, navigate to the URL directly and see if you get some kind of an error, this might help you troubleshoot the issue.

I am working for a client and cannot seem to find the solution to this issue. When changing the file path for the root directory of the WP File Manager we can "lockdown" and specify that we want the /home/site_name/files folder for the users to see when logged in. The default file path is /home/site_name/ and I can view the PDF's in the files folder by navigating and opening them up.
But once I specify that I want only the contents in the /home/site_name/file to be viewed I can no longer open the PDF's, it will give me a 404 this page cannot be found. If I take this URL and add in the /files/file_name then it loads... there is some disconnect between the link and the file path and I cannot figure it out.
Let me know if anyone has seen this before while using Wordpress File Manager!
Thanks!!
Update: After contacting the developers of the plugin there was a known issue with it, now with the new version the bug is fixed
I don't know why, but clicking an anchor link to a .themepack file in Edge causes Edge to change the file extension to ".htm" instead, but only on my site. The .themepack files available on the Microsoft gallery do not behave this way.
Given this, I'm sure it must be a server configuration, but I can't determine how to fix it. At first it was trying to display the .themepack (it's a cab format file) as if it was text, right in the browser. I added the html5 attribute "download" to my <a> tag and that prompted for download, but it still tries to name it as .htm.
Demo of issue:
https://soulcon.com/downloads contains a link to https://soulcon.com/img/SOULCON.themepack
This either tries to show as text, or if you use the page to click the link containing the "download" attribute, it downloads as a .htm file.
Links at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13768/windows-desktop-themes do not cause this.
Considering this site is on managed wordpress by GoDaddy, I don't have any true direct access to the server.
You need to associate the .themepack file extension with the application/octet-stream MIME type on the server. Ask a support person at your hosting provider how to do that. It may be doable with an .htaccess file.
Worked round the issue by zipping the file.
When I upload image to WordPress, they randomly appear as broken links.
I can drop the files on the Media Library or Select the files and some files are always shown as broken.
I can delete the files and re-upload the same group and different images in the group can show as broken.
I'm sure it's nothing to with the images as they sometimes appear as broken and then sometimes don't.
Locally the upload works fine, this problem started happening on the live hosting - I thought it could be something to do with permissions but then wouldn't it show all the images as broken and not show random images as broken.
I don't get an error but a broken image icon. If I click the broken link it case me to the Attachment Details page. Sometimes the image does appear here sometimes it doesn't.
Some things to look for:
1) check if there is an .htaccess file in the wp-content/uploads folder or wherever you keep your images (make sure you have the option to see hidden files--I think they're available by default when you're using an FTP client but if you're in the File Manager of your CPanel then you have to enable this option, either before entering file manager or from settings when you're in the file manager depending on your host). If there is an htaccess file, you'll want to back it up and then research more about this before you make any changes to it. https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess_for_subdirectories
2) if you had tried to move your default image directory using wp-config.php make sure that has been set up properly
3) check folder and file permissions settings. it's best to do this in an FTP client because if you need to change the permissions, it can do it recursively and include all subdirectories and files within them instead of having to go through into each folder and change the permissions.

This seems like a basic question, but I am looking for a proper way of doing this. I am displaying a series of images and their source in view looks like this:
src="#Server.MapPath(Path.Combine("~/App_Data/",photo.ClientId.ToString(),photo.PhotoId.ToString())+photo.FileExt.ToString())"
Which compiles to:
"c:\users\architect\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\PhotoManagement\PhotoManagement\App_Data\5\62.jpg"
I triple checked that the files do exist at this location. Why does the browser refuse to display this image? Is there a workaround so that the code still works on the server when I upload it.
Thanks.
APP_Data is a restricted folder intended for Datasources such as Database only. ASP.Net will not deliver a file in here - try it by going to the URL for that image directly (I.E www.mysite/App_Data/5/62.jpg ) and you will see the error message HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden.
Put your images in a folder outside of this and you will be fine, such as a folder in the root Called Images
Server.MapPath returns the path of the image on the server. Unless the client happens to have an image in exactly the same path on their computer, this will not work.
Try using Url.Content instead:
src="#Url.Content(Path.Combine("~/App_Data/", photo.ClientId.ToString(), photo.PhotoId.ToString()) + photo.FileExt.ToString())"
I am working with two different web sites in asp.net. In the first project i upload some images to a specific folder under the project root and save just the filename in the database, now i am trying to display this images at some page of the second project I know the filename from the database and the image folder as absolute pat but I have not been able to display the image, even thought when looking in firebug the image src is correct src="D:/MyFolder/image.jpg" the image does not display, probably because it is not pointing in the right directory.
I have also tried using Server.MapPath and then my D location but still no success.
I am sure someone has faced the same situation before and was really hoping to get some hint to manage this.
Thank you in advance
I found my solution, strange but i didn't catch it before. Uploaded pictures under a project can always be accessed using the url of the project http://www.yourwebsite.com/images/photo.png now in the second project you can use reference the images using this url and concatenating the file name which i store on database. I think this is the best solution and without changing the code access security which i think can bring other problems with it. Anyway thank you guys.
If you want to display the image that is not in your project (I mean it is present in some other project or some other drive) just create the virtual directory in IIS
Go to "Run", type inetmgr
Right click on your project and add virtual directory
Give alias name and path so that it acts like folder in your project
I don't think you can serve files outside of your application path by default. It's called Code Access Security. You can read up on it here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/930b76w0.aspx
You can fix this by changing your trust level to High in your web.config:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tkscy493.aspx
I wouldn't recommend doing this for any site that is externally accessible. In fact, depending on how/where you're hosting your application, this option may be restricted.
You can only "link" to files that exist relative to the same project or are hosted on another site via an absolute URL.
If you want to service files outside the application/website (on disk or in a database) you will need to build a mechanism that gets the file and binary writes it to the browser, setting the MIME type etc. This is best done using an HttpHandler.
