Bizarre Image error

[MasterKaos]

I recently changed hosting providers, and copied my entire directory tree to the new server.

One of the page i am currently working on has become unable to display a particular image. When typing in the url for the image directly

http://www.uniquesolutions.com.au/ms/images/bootladder1.jpg

i get "The resource cannot be displayed" in IE and "Not Acceptable" in firefox. I have tried deleting it and uploading it once again, i have tried renaming it but the problem persists. The image works fine when i downlaod it to my PC. The image has not been edited or modified in any way since it was working fine on the the old server.

This error is happening to one other image, bootladder1_blend.jpg, but all other images, png's and jpg's work fine.

Any ideas what's going on, and how i can fix this?

Are you ftping? make sure that when you FTP the transfer mode is set to Binary, not ascii (if its set to automatic detction, manually change it to Binary)

I am FTPing using binary, but i tried using ASCII as well and still the problem persists.

This is so weird, i don't know why these two images are treated differntly from all the other .jpg files. I've also noticed in FireFox the error number is 406

Interesting. On IE6 I get

[tt]HTTP Error 406 - Not acceptable[/tt]

which implies something wrong with the way the server has been set up. When you request a URL, the browser sends the server a list of file types that it can understand. The server thinks (wrongly) that .jpg files aren't one of those types and sends a 406 error instead.

Take it up with tech support at your host. My guess is that they aren't setting the correct MIME type for jpg files, but it's not an area that I know a lot about.

When you copied the directory tree to the new server, did you set the correct permissions for the new folders?

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
