I am having some problems with images showing up in my skin. All of the images that phpvms uses/displays all show up fine. But, images related to the skin, such as the header image and html link images I have been trying to put in, do not. In Firefox they simply don’t show up. Where the html image links should be, all that shows up is a little box. In IE it shows the little box in the upper left corner with the red x. Here is a link to the site if you want to look: http://www.patva1.comli.com/phpvms
The URL for the image on your site is
http://www.patva1.comli.com/phpvms/images/header-photo.jpg
Put that URL directly in your browser and you will notice the following at the bottom
Error 404: Page does not exist

Shouldn’t the images folder be in the skin folder though, or am I supposed to put the images in a created folder inside the base phpvms directory?
I got the header image displayed. But it still will not display image links.
make sure you are linking correctly using the system standard ( <?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/yourskin/images/imagehere.ext ) I would highly recommend that if you have images located somewhere else on a different systems image repository that you move it over if you plan to use it within the skin.
I tried that and I still can’t get them to show up. It still acts as though the images do not exist.

Whichever way you want. If you have skin-specific images, it’s probably good to put them inside that skin folder. But images you would use all over, put them in the base directory. Either way is fine.
Try doing it into the base directory and work from there
