Answer 2

Which url you use to embed your image file to your localhost. You have to use

http://localhost/im/image_name.JPG

also if you do that thing then try to open them in browser with this url. if They open clear cache of your browser. And open your localhost again. If it show you same thing. That must be cause by .htaccess
and show your  .htaccess code here

Answer 3

Both file are in the same foler.
C:/xampp/htdocs/mywebsite/file.css
C:/xampp/htdocs/mywebsite/image.jpeg

css code just like this :
body{
background-image: url(image.JPEG);
}

what is .htaccess and where I can find it?

thanks

Answer 4

You should use

http://localhost/mywebsite/image.jpeg

above url to open image file in browser. If it open use this url instead of just writing image.jpge

This is wrong syntax C:/xampp/htdocs/mywebsite/image.jpeg
on localhost.

Answer 5

Does this below urls return 404 error.
http://localhost/mywebsite/image.jpeg
http://localhost/mywebsite/file.css

if it show you an error than show your .htaccess code that is outside of your mywebsite folder.
