[Eug-lug] Webpage won't display images...

[Martin Kelly]

The other thing to try would be linking to an external image, say, the 
google logo. If that shows up, it's a good sign and suggests your 
problem is with your server configuration or relative/absolute URLs.

You can also try viewing the image properties in the browser and see 
what it says the path to the image is... if it is correct (it will be an 
absolute path) then you know it's a permissions problem. If it's 
incorrect, you can see in what way it's incorrect and modify to suit.
