CincYnoTi Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 this probably has nothing to do with atariage, but more likely my browser... for some reason on my home pc, i can no longer see pictures of atari 2600 cartridges. i can see the boxes, screenshots, instructions fine and i can see cart pictures for other systems here, but i always see the [x can't load image] thing for atari 2600 cartridges: http://www.atariage.com/cart_page.html?Sof...wareLabelID=400 this is using internet explorer and windows me. reloading the page or right-clicking the image doesn't help. anyone have suggestions? actually, i sat down one night and increased the SoftwareLabelId= value until i could see a photo, but don't recall right now what that number was. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I just tried it using Win2K-Pro with IE 5.01 and it works fine. Perhaps your cache is full ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincYnoTi Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 i'm guessing it has something to do with cache also, but i don't know how to correct this. i know i've been able to see these pictures at home in the past. and i have no problems seeing them with IE on a win2000 machine. i think i've deleted "all temporary internte files" also with no effect.

liquid_sky Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I had a problem like this once, where Win ME quit displaying PNG graphics with IE before. if you can see the picture below, then its not an issue with .png, but if you cant, then ill get back to ya.

CincYnoTi Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 ok, i can see the png file. i can see this picture: http://www.atariage.com/cart_page.html?Sof...wareLabelID=607 but i cannot see this one: http://www.atariage.com/cart_page.html?Sof...wareLabelID=606 so 1-606 are not visible, but everything above 606 is visible. i also notice that i can go directly to the 607 .jpg and view it: http://www.atariage.com/5200/carts/c_Astro...chase_front.jpg but i cannot view zaxxon for 606: http://www.atariage.com/2600/carts/c_Zaxxon_front.jpg i get the screen of death: www.atariage.com Error 403: Access Forbidden also, the file type for astrochase is known: JPG file but the file type for zaxxon is not known: Not available now i'm wondering if there is a subtle file permission difference between the atari 2600 cart directory for photos and the 5200 directory. i can see the boxes just fine. maybe explorer just doesn't know how to deal with the "Not available" file type in the /2600/carts subdirectory.

liquid_sky Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 this is beyond what i can help you with, i was just hoping it was the png error.. maybe one of the admins can get ya sorted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Do you use Internet Explorer, or Nutscrape? I had this problem with Internet Explorer 5 a few months ago. To correct it, I trashed everything but the favorites and reinstalled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Do you use Internet Explorer, or Nutscrape? Hey hey hey... If you're going to use derrogotory names for web browsers, at least be fair! That should be "Internet EXPLOITER." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincYnoTi Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 ok i'm really stumped. i get the same results for: internet explorer 6.0 netscape navigator 6 mozilla web browser 1.0.2 (just installed to try out atariage) i can see 5200, 7800, lynx cart labels, but no cart labels in the 2600 directory.

Albert Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 i can see 5200, 7800, lynx cart labels, but no cart labels in the 2600 directory. Thanks for trying a few different browsers. I took a look through the directory where those files are stored and don't see anything unusual as far as file permissions go. The directory permissions all seem fine also. You are the first person to note this particular problem, and it's pretty damn unusual. It's also strange that you're getting an "Access Forbidden" message. You're not using an IP address we're denying access to, and this is the message you'd be seeing if we were. What ISP are you using? Is there some way you can try connecting using a different ISP to see if you get the same results? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincYnoTi Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 sorry, some of that description wasn't exact. when i pick the link to see an atari 2600 cartridge label, the web page displays correctly, but where the main label and end label images should be, i see [x] Combat - Cartridge Scan [x] Combat - Cartridge Scan which if i look at the html source, is what you are supposed to display if you can't display the picture (i guess, i don't know html that well): <img src="/2600/carts/c_Combat_Picture_end.jpg" alt="Combat - Cartridge Scan"> if i try to pull up the following url: http://www.atariage.com/2600/carts/c_Comba...cture_front.jpg i get the access forbidden page. that is the scenario if i do this from home on my WinMe system connected via RoadRunner cable modem. from work on a Win2000 machine, everything works fine. i guess i could take my Win2000 laptop home and see if i get the same problem connected through RoadRunner. at work, if i look at the properties of the combat image, it tells me Type: JPEG image however, from home (WinMe), all 2600 carts' .jpg files have the property: Type: not available all 2600 boxes and 5200 carts show: Type: JPG image i'll double check those last two from home.

badbrad Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Okay, I am having this EXACT same problem now, all of a sudden. The links in an above post work(and don't work) exactly as cincynoti described. I'm using Opera 7.01, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I'm using Opera 7.01, BTW. I'm using Opera 7.02 and I can see them all. Weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincYnoTi Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 i tried my win2000 laptop from home and had no problem seeing all the atari 2600 cart pictures. the problem seems to be a combination of the particulary directory (/2600/carts/* fails, /5200/carts/* works) and the OS i'm using (Win2000 works on all directories, WinMe only works on some directories). all browsers have the same problem or same success based on what machine they are tried on. the fact that i can see all the .jpgs on /5200/carts makes me think there must be something different about either the disk drive, partition, permissions on the directory/folder, or default permissions on the individual files in the /2600/carts directory. albert, could you try this? copy the following .jpg: http://www.atariage.com/2600/carts/c_Comba...cture_front.jpg to the /5200/carts/ folder and i'll see if i can view it in that folder. then copy a 5200 picture: http://www.atariage.com/5200/carts/c_Centi...ipede_front.jpg to the /2600/carts/ folder and i'll see if that is visible. PM me if you'd like or post here when the files have been copied. thanks,tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincYnoTi Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 i can now see this picture fine: http://www.atariage.com/5200/carts/c_Comba...cture_front.jpg this link gives the access forbidden error: http://www.atariage.com/2600/carts/c_Centi...ipede_front.jpg www.atariage.com Error 403: Access Forbidden You do not have permission to access this page. If you feel you have received this message in error, please contact the webmaster: admin@atariage.com. so i can view the combat picture when it is in the 5200 directory but not when it sits in the 2600 directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stein Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 this is very wierd, the only pics I cannot see here, like everyone else, is the atari 2600 pics... and the timing is odd too... this happened just a few weeks ago after I put up some redrawn activision cart scans for Albert to add to the archive... I swear I did not virus them I've been thinking maybe a bad link or typo somewhere when they might have been added, as it almost happened to the day and I have not changed anything here... that I know of anyhow they were all working fine for me before that. the coincidence seems too great.

Albert Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 This actually probably corresponded with some server upgrades we did a few weeks ago. Among those upgrades was a newer version of Apache, and it's possible that the Apache configuration was changed in ways we did not intend. We'll investigate and try to figure out what the heck happened and fix it.. Thanks everyone for all the information, and we'll let you know when we think we have it licked.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincYnoTi Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 YES! i can see the atari 2600 carts now. any idea why it seemed to only be broken on some OS (like WinMe)? i'm also glad a few others chimed in with the same problem, thought i was all alone there for a while.

Alex Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 The 2600 carts dir had an Apache rewrite rule to prevent hot linking. Why that would behave differently with different OS's makes no sense to me, as it's basically just checking for the referrer ID and making sure it's AtariAge. Very strange.
