Images not visible using a local server with XAMPP

[PmPhotographic]

HI

I've resurrected an old project which worked in the past.  Since then, Ive upgraded both Windows (8.1) and Dreamweaver (CC)  Today I installed the latest XAMPP and created a folder called xamp2015.  I copied the old project (MySite) to the HTDOCS folder

Now, the site logic is working, BUT, the images are not appearing.

They are stored here C:\xampp2015\htdocs\MySite\Images\Main

My Local Site folder is C:\xampp2015\htdocs\Mysite

Default Images folder is C:\xampp2015\htdocs\MySite\Images\

The images will appear if I move them to c:\xampp2015\htdocs\MySite and update the links, but this would lead to a messy structure, which was not needed previously

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you saying old xamp and new xamp are on the same local host?

HI

No, I don't think so

On my C drive, I have C:/xampp2015 which contains the project, and this is what the local server is pointed at (see original post).

I have a second folder C:/xampp which contains the original project and an earlier install of xampp, but I don't believe that the local server is pointed at it

Try creating a new sub folder called "bob" and put an image in it, link to it on one of your pages and see if it comes up.

Also, what's that .htaccess file up to in your Images folder?

Many thanks for the help, and it looks like a 'eureka' moment.  I have removed the htaccess file ( a carry over from when the project was live) and its now all working
