What is the correct path I need to see my uploaded image?

Question

In my web application one of my pages is uploading a photo to the path

/usr/local/rac/picture-name-goes-here

The photo is uploading fine, but I need to acces

Answer 1

src="/usr/local/agent/photo-name-here.jpg" <- this URL is a local address in your server, to show up your images you have to set a valid HTTP address like:

http://www.yourdomain.com/images/photo-name-here.jpg

To accomplish that you will need to upload the foto to a localpath that is inside in your www root folder.

If your webapp is installed in

• /home/apache/www/website/

you will upload your images to a folder like:

• /home/apache/www/website/images/

and then your HTTP address will be

• http://www.yourdomain.com/images/photo-name-here.jpg

I got a little confuse with your two paths in /usr/ and C:\Tomcat

I encourage you to put the upload localpath folder parametrized, so you will be only modifying the config file instead of every function or method that access to that local path.
