I have had a similar issue, but with a business process which didn't quite work right.
try this Have a PHP look for a file called VIEW.STOP (nothing else, just look for it).....If it exists, display a pay saying site is being updated Have the PHP look for a file called VIEW.GO......If it exists, show the image page........ That takes care of the client locking your image file and/or html file.... For you image upload automation Put a file called VIEW.STOP. Delete and upload the new image RENAME VIEW.STOP to VIEW.GO once your file is uploaded. What you want to do is eliminate contention for the files.... try doing this via PHP so you have control over what is displayed as opposed to static HTML which doesn't control anything.
