I've just started running my apache server. I set up a homepage in /var/www/html/ etc. But when i try and include in image in a folder /var/www/images/ it will not display it in apache, but it will display it on my local machine. What kind of privileges should i set. Also, is it a bad idea to have a folder devoted directly to images and logos. Thanks in advance

The usual permissions required for apache to serve are:
Owner: Read/Write
Group: Read
Other: Read

(chmod 644)

Also, any directories you make need to be:
Owner: Read/Write/Execute
Group: Read/Execute
Other: Read/Execute

(chmod 755)

Apache runs as a low level user for security reasons, so others have to be able to read the files (and execute to view directory contents).

About your images directory folder, yes it is good to keep html files seperated from images , use whatever directory structure makes the most sense to you.

Oops, I forgot to mention: if your documentroot is /var/www/html you shouldn't have a directory above that for images, the images directory and all other directories you create should be under the documentroot.
