Jay, The image does not appeaer on the webpage when img folder is outside or inside the docroot. It appears only if it is inside the docroot/samples/imgs/picture.gif.And I think it is because magnolia is set as default web page. But I am not sure.
About the 500 error. I tried to add image in the page properties dialog following the quickstart template. Author instance showed no error. But activating the node in author and tried to open up the public instance gave the error.Since I was at the beginning (and still am),I just undeployed and redeployed both war files again, started all over. My guess for the error relative to my action is that in headerImage content node , its type is declared as binary. Probably the type mismatched or the a template i.e(a jsp file to retrieve this image from repository) to display in the page was missing. This is my assumption. vanS On 2/20/06, Moskos, Jay <user-list@magnolia.info> wrote: > 1. yes that's what I would do. > 2. try pulling "docroot" out so you have just > "${pageContext.request.contextPath}/folder_name/imgs/picture.gif" > > Also I have another question for you vans regarding the 500 error you > were getting in WebSphere when you were trying to pull up a new document > to edit.
