image in another home folder

[jbnmedia]

Hi, I am wondering how can i use an image path outside the customers home account.

For example /home/jbn/public_html/ - with an index.php

And in /home/system/mall/test/ is test.jpg

In my index.php I have an image I want to show that is in the another home folder - system.

I´m trying this:

./../../../system/mall/test/test.jpg - doesn´t work.
/home/system/mall/test/test.jpg - doesn´t work..

If I include a file I use php include -
/home/system/mall/test/test.php - and thats work.

How can i show my image on my index file ?

Are you trying to use a url with those? Apache is not serving anything outside of public_html directly to the web. Includes are different, php is grabbing extra files. If you are doing actual urls though, it has to be in the web root.

If you really want to do it you could try sym-links, depending on your setup that should work.

What is sym-links and how do I do that ?

I move my templates(mall) folder tol public_html and now I get a problem with including files, how can I fix the permissions ?

Warning: include(/home/system/public_html/mall/siteadmin/bluerange/index.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/jbn/public_html/siteadmin2/home/index.php on line 7

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/system/public_html/mall/siteadmin/bluerange/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/jbn/public_html/siteadmin2/home/index.php on line 7

jbnmedia, the error message you just quoted says the scripts are trying to
call include files located in the original path where you moved the files from
instead of the new location where you moved them.

Since you moved the files, you will need to update the scripts that are
broken (shown in the error messages you quoted) and replace the old path
locations in those files with the new location.
