Very strange! Where do the two 'extra' question marks come from?
Can you let us know how you're producing the urls? Are they hard-coded in a template or generated from some razor or xslt or similar logic? If you could explain and hopefully show any code maybe we can spot the issue.
Also, where is this being hosted? Possibly there is some url rewrite rule on the host that doesn't allow querystring parameters? I'm guessing, but converting '?' to '???' is an extremely odd thing so I'm trying to think outside the box.
It's strange as like I say it works locally and I haven't touched anything (other than update the SEOChecker package.
Simply downloaded the site files and installed the SEOchecker, everything working fine, so then uploaded to live hosting (with Carbonsoft) and now the images revert to the placeholder.
I'm super puzzled. Any chance you could send me a link to the site on carbonsoft so that I can 'see it in action' myself? Email me (doug at my domain, see below) if you don't want to advertise the link here.
The issue was in SEOChecker, work around for now is Adding imagegen.ashx to the umbracoReservedUrls in web.config indeed. The next version (1.8.1) of SEOChecker will solve this issue.
Images defaulting to "Hello World!" on upload to host
Hello - does anyone with experience of ImageGen recognise this problem?
My local version is working correctly but when uploading to our host selected images are defaulting to "Hello World!".
The image files are correctly selected and displaying in the UI tools and in their media folders on in the site files.
It looks like the image URL is being rewritten from:
/ImageGen.ashx?image=%2fmedia%2f82515%2fmap-of-brazil.jpg&width=298&constrain=true
to:
/imagegen.ashx???image=%2fmedia%2f82515%2fmap-of-brazil.jpg&width=298&constrain=true
This then displats the default image placeholder.
Any ideas what's going on?
Many thanks,
Barney

Hiya Doug,
It's strange as like I say it works locally and I haven't touched anything (other than update the SEOChecker package.
Simply downloaded the site files and installed the SEOchecker, everything working fine, so then uploaded to live hosting (with Carbonsoft) and now the images revert to the placeholder.
Now I'm puzzled? :/ Could it be permissions?
Cheers!

Hi all,
Just in case anyone has a similar problem.
Adding imagegen.ashx to the umbracoReservedUrls in web.config seems to have fixed the problem.
Cheers Doug for your help.
