PLEASE take a look: images are invisible

I am running MaxOS2 on Linux, Apache version 1.3.29 (Unix) with PWA installed. Here is the URL:

http://affordablesolar.biz

I have been trying to find some answers for 2 days but not sure where to go next.

I have installed the updates and upgrade to Max MS2 for BTS and OC affiliate. Two weeks later now and I tried to add a product through admin and the image thumbnails aren't showing up:

They are not showing up on the product_info page
They are not showing up on the New Products Box
They are not showing up in the What's New Box

But the old products show up just fine. I even have one of the new products showing up but none of the others. ????

I found that if I add the product to the cart, when it goes into https mode, the image shows up in the What's New Box.

sorry, couldn't login- bleu

I've been working on this all night again comparing files and trying things but nothing makes any difference. I don't have a clue what it could be. Here is my config file. It was working fine until I added the upgrades. Are my settings ok?

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://affordablesolar.biz'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_DATABASE', 'prefix_database);
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'
?>

Opops, I was editing the database for this post and deleted the single quote. Here is the corrected line.

define('DB_DATABASE', 'prefix_database');

It looks like you have solved this? I cannot find any broken images or missing images in any of the products.

Could you post a link to a product that is missing the image?

No, the new products are missing. If you click on the Battery Chargers category, only image 3 and 7 are showing. Also, some of the links don't take you to the correct product description pages. Even when they, do the image is missing.

Also I am not seeing the New Product images or What's New.
-bleu

It is happening other computers also, so I have ruled out my browser.

When I click on battery chargers, I see ALL images for all products. When I click on the image to the product page, I see all images, and when I click on the image, it pops up and I see it fine.

Everything is working correctly. It is something on your end for sure. I see all of your images. I have attached a screenshot as proof...

I see the same thing that msasek posted up...

I hate it when that happens! You have a problem and try and show it to somebody, and it goes away!

Seems like if there is a rattle in my car and I take it in to get looked at, It'll stop a mile and a half before I reach the dealship, then start up again a couple of miles after I have a mechanic take a look at it!

Actually that makes me very happy that you see the same thing. I have been working on this for 3 days straight looking at everything. Ahhhh!

The thing that fooled me was that other people were seeing the same thing as me: no images, so I thought it was not on my end.

Now I found that it was with the Norton Firewall after all this. I feel so stupid as I usually disable this to test that also.

Its so strange that some images are viewable but not others.

Thanks.

My next problem on this issue is seeing if there is any way that I can control this behavior. Unfortunately, many people are having this issue and use Norton and I can't expect them all to change settings or disable their firewalls.

If anyone has dealt with this issue, please let me know. I have seen many posts about this problem but have not found a fix yet.

I've seen mention of headers and redirects, changing htaccess files, etc. I'm looking solutions.

Thanks.

Norton is one of the worst software firewalls I have ever used. There are free ones that are much better. If you find a good workaround, please do post it, as I have not found one, except to not use norton at all.
