slider 6.x-1.4 does not function at all when site is hosted on free server

I don't know why that would happen. I would suggest looking at the difference between the PHP / MySQL / Linux versions used on both your local and remote machines, plus the php.ini files.

Hi Mark,

Smriti and me are working together. I have compared the PHP and MYSQL versions (5.2.8 and 5.0.67 respectively) on the local machine and the remote machine. They happen to be exactly the same. However, on the local machine we using Windows OS on which it works absolutely fine; while for hosting we are using the Linux OS. What changes would you suggest to make to the php.ini files. We are facing the same problem with Slideshow Creator module too which works fine on local machine but does not work on hosted site. Could there be any connection between the 2 problems. Please suggest.

@Mark: There is one thing I would like to highlight in relation to the above. On checking the status report of the website hosted ; we get an error concerning the status of the GD Library. It says that the GD library is not installed nd missing. Could this be the possible reason behind the module's not working?. If it is then please suggest as to how solve this issue.

What happens? Can you be more specific about how it stops functioning?

I don't think the missing GD library will break it, but I'm not sure.

If other modules are also breaking, then I would definitely suspect that the problems are related.

Actually: The content which should be displayed in separate slides are displayed one above the other without any sign of the slider. To get a better idea please have a look at http://lakevictoria.smriti.x10hosting.com/activities . The links listed at the top are the tabs of the slider which get perfectly displayed when we open the site on our local machines.
I had even tried using different slideshow module in place of slideshow creator. Even that is not working which is why you can see Loading written at the bottom of every page. We have been struggling with these strange issues now for almost a week ; so any clue which gives us a headway would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your permissions are wrong. In the source of the HTML for that page, I can see it references a whole bunch of .js files...

    <script type="text/javascript" src="/misc/jquery.js?k"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/misc/drupal.js?k"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/dhtml_menu/dhtml_menu.js?k"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/lakevictoria.smriti.x10hosting.com/modules/slideshowcs/slideshowcs.js?k"></script>

When I try and access one of these files manually, for example by clicking the following link:

http://lakevictoria.smriti.x10hosting.com/sites/lakevictoria.smriti.x10h...

I get a 404 error. This means that the browser cannot access the Javascript. The problem therefore is a permissions or Apache setting on your live webserver.

;)

Note that some of them work. It looks like the permissions under the /sites/lakevictoria..... directory are wrong.

Hi Mark,

Thanks a lot for your help. You were right that the problem was at my webhosting provider's end. After changing it ; I am not facing any issue with any of the modules used in the website. Thanks for helping out.
