apache image handler

[synergywei]

I'm working with media wiki images and I got a red x where the picture should be and the option 'save picture as' is greyed out. I don't think it's the group policy issue and all folders and subfolder within images has been set with permission 777.

someone has suggested to me it maybe a problem with how apache is handing the image files. I have no experience with apache, please take a look at the related section in the httpd.conf file. those are the snippet of code with the keyword 'addhandler'. what do i need to do for apache to handle image files? many thanks.

You could knock me over with a feather if this turns out to be an apache issue. Apache can handle these types out of the box. The red x is telling you that the script is calling for an image at the specified url. The fact that it isn't showing up means that the image is not being found. This may be due to the way your script is writing paths. I didn't notice if this is a linux system or not but file names are case sensitive. Thus linux sees image.jpg as a different file from image.JPG.
