you should check the file permissions. that should give you a clue.

Well during uploading i had given all the permission like 0777 or 0755or 0775.

I can open only .php file .


No other Format is opening.

Waiting for your reply

maybe there's a .htaccess file that prevents file access. as for the file permissions, do the files still have the permissions set by you?

well i can't find the .htaccess on my server where i have uploaded the files ??

please tell me the exact path ?

it was the only possibility I know besides file permission. bear in mind that on a posix server filenames with a leading dot are system files and thus invisible per default. still you can ask your server admin about system wide settings (like access permission). It could be possible that you can find additional info in the httpd.conf (apache server config file) (dont know how it is on IIS) though none but the server admin (and root) has read (write) permission there.

regards

PS: a .htaccess file affects all files in the current and below directories, you may have to look in the directories above your files.

I appreciate your advice , Actually I have taken the Web hosting From Yahoo small business site i.e. www.smallbusine ss.yahoo.com and i am new to it. When i open its Control Panel , Manage sites is an option where i can see my folders.
Only those Folders are displacing which i had used in my sites.



I had seen many times where i can find the .htaccess but in vain.

I still don't don't know whch server i am using for my php.

I had used phpinfo() to get the information , but i am not getting the server name ?



I cant understand why .php files if i upload can be seen in POP UP WINDOW using Javascript But if i try to open any other format i cant open


Help me out in solving this problem.

Heya, amitverma60.

Are you running Apache or IIS?

I find that it is easy for permissions to become corrupted; do a

CHMOD  -R 777

(or 775) on your upload folder
