Possible cPanelX Problem

[army8392]

Just created a new folder off of public_html called Smilies. Uploaded several images yesterday and those links where working just fine and now, all I get is X instead of seeing the actual image/images and sometimes, I don't even get an X with nothing showing.
Are those images not allowed or is there a setting I may have missed or enabled that is causing those images not to show?

Note: I just uploaded another image to the Smilies folder and when I clicked on it's link:
I get this:

What are the permissions of
1. The directory ... should be 0755
2. The images ... should be 0644

Also, did you ever try to set up "Hotlink Protect" for the images?

Thanks descalzo for the rapid reply...

Just checked the directory, which is set at 0755 and the images was 0755 and just changed it to 0644. Just took a look over at the site and those images are not loading with the same:
403 Forbidden
Access to this resource on the server is denied!

Tried the ""Hotlink Protect" for the images" yesterday and got no change at all when the images was loading. Seems that the "Hotlink Protect", or at least on my end, is not working.

Could you post the contents of .htaccess in public_html and public_html/Smilies , if they exist

At the bottom of cPanel x, click "Reset All Interface Settings," then when loading file manager enable "show hidden files (dotfiles)" - there is indeed a .htaccess in your public_html folder, and it is causing the 403:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

I'm not sure why that line is in there 4 times, but it does the same thing - if the file is a jpg, jpeg, gif, png, or bmp, return error 403 (F). If you were trying to do hotlink protection, I'd recommend enabling direct URL access or disabling it altogether for the time-being.

Thanks Livewire and after your instructions, I found the .htaccess and should I remove these:

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

within the .htaccess?

As to hotlink settings, I've tried to disable several times, but when going back, for some reason it is back at enabled.

EDIT: Went ahead and removed the above and everything working just fine now. The only problem I'm still having, is the hotlink disable feature will not work. No matter how many times I click on it and submit, it stays enabled.
