background graphic is not displayed

monaco

Hello Dear Community,

I have set up the Captive Portal on my end, which is working great.
Furthermore, I have created my own login website and put it via winscp into the directory /var/etc.
The CSS code is defined inside the .html file.
But my background-graphic is not displayed.
I named the background graphic as follows:
captiveportal-background.jpg and is located in the same directory of captiveportal_gast.html.
Can anyone tell me from your experience how I can get this to display the background graphic?

Why do you think you need winscp (sftp) ?
Why should you need to place manually files here /var/etc ?

You should use this :

to upload files like style sheets and images etc.

captiveportal-nvxx-logo.png is the file name of an image used in my 'html' login page.

The web server used to show this login page is chrooted into /usr/local/captiveportal/
In this directory, pfSEnse creates, when I upload a file, a symbolic link to the place where the real uploaded file exists, as they are not stored in /usr/local/captiveportal/ :

Know you think you know that uploaded files are stored in /var/db/cpelements/
Which is also wrong ^^
They are stored in the main /conf/config/xml file.
And, when needed, extracted into /var/db/cpelements/ They are overwritten every time you change portal settings.
