Apache's strange loading of .gif and .jpg images
Hello!

I have got next issue: my website is not showing up .gif and .jpg images, but by the direct links (ex. http://somedomain.com/img/logo.gif) i can view them without any problem.

Also if any image is clicked from http://somedomain.com/img/ URL , i get error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /img/bg05.gif on this server.

This issue concerns just .gif ang .jpg file types, other types (jpeg, png, swf)
works fine..

Please help me to solve this case.

Some Web hosts are known to block links to images from sites other than the originating web host. My understanding is that they do so by checking the "referer" HTTP header sent from browser while requesting the image, that is typically the full URL of the originating HTML page containing those references. This is commonly known as "hot-linking".

Are you sure you are not in this kind of hosting environment?

Thanks for Your help, but I have just solved this problem.

There was an alias made in httpd.conf for testing new website and apache somehow did not like its URL without domain name
(ex. http://123.123.123.123/img).

I have registered domain name and made VirtualHost for my domain, and now everything works fine =)
