I'm playing around with mayo both locally and live for a class project. On my local host my background header image appears fine, when I do the same steps live it does not show up. I have looked in both safari and internet explorer and it does not appear to be browser related. My image appears as being loaded in theme settings so I am stumped. Any help is appreciated!

This sounds like a permissions issue. Check the ownership and the read permissions of the uploaded file.

If you used the upload feature to upload your header image into the live site, instead try uploading the file directly to the server (e.g. FTP) and adding the path to that file in the theme settings.

its a path issue.

its a path issue. I didnt feeling like digging deep into the codes, so as a quick fix til the author updates, I simply created the folder where the system expects it to be (per the error message)

I'm having this problem now.
In the local site everything is perfect.
After upload the background image of the header disappeared, tried to re-upload through admin, no result, though the image does appear in the preview.
It is a path issue since I get this div when inspecting the home page : div id="header" style="height: 156px;filter:;background: url(///sites/default/files/banner_copy.jpg) repeat top center;border: none;"
On my local site div id="header" style="height: 156px;filter:;background: url(/belgiumquilt///sites/default/files/banner_copy.jpg) repeat top center;border: none;"
Is it possible to change this output to a relative link?
