US Troops and Humor at War

You gotta love this!

[bdickens]

Love what?

[tfrazier]

Huh? Do you not see a picture below the statement?

[LarryH]

I can't see a picture either -- only the word "image"

[tfrazier]

Aha! Problem is some of you are going through firewalls that block the port I use on my host server, therefore your browsers can't see the images.

Guess I'll have to find a way to get photos on a standard port 80 host.

I love it.

You are running Apache on a Fedora server...go into firewall and tell it to forward port 9999 to 80 internal(or localhost)..the replies should go back out on 80..unless your ISP filters outbound 80 (which is probably why you used port 9999

An application called WEBMIN helps greatly if you run your server headless or in runlevel 3

Worse comes to worse...photobucket works well

You guessed it. Sneaky, ain't I? They block port 80 to try to force customers to pay for a "business class" internet connection (which is the same exact thing except port 80 outbound is unblocked and you get a static IP).

So I save hundreds by using an alternate port and lots of crazy shenanigans with dyndns and url redirects.

But the trade-off is little issues like this.

Thanks DoubleJ!

Hmmm. the firewall at work usually blocks pictures, but the blank "X" placeholder icon usually shows up. This time it didn't for some reason.
