Look under your docroot and see if the pictures are physically on the volume where they are supposed to be.
Did you move the images, or rename one of the main directories? Is the albums directory empty?
Hi donnoman
Please specify dockroot?

Gibban, maybe you should reconsider self-hosting? I don't want to be mean or anything, but looking out for you... you don't seem to know the basics of running a server so you might be better off signing up with professional hosting. It would cost you money but then the files you lost have their own value... not to mention the time you need to invest to restore if you had backups.
Hello TranzNDance!

Please help my oute!!

The docroot of a webserver is the directory where the publicly published documents begin ie: The root of all documents.
Typically with windows this is c:\inetpub\wwwroot
If I were to guess by your url and the default configuration of IIS you would need to look in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\albums
Are the directories of images in there or are they missing?
If they are missing, then you need to replace them from a backup. If they are NOT missing, then you need to compare the current directory structure with the directory structure that was used when the images were added.
For example this reflects whats in coppermines database:
http://www.broncophoto.com/albums/Uppload/stemplade/thumb_DSCF1178.jpg
So lets say you batch added all those pictures, then you went on the disk and renamed the directory "Uppload" to "Upload", all of your images would appear broken because the path that was stored during the batch add is no longer correct.
So do the images exist where they were batch added from?
Thank you donnoman for youre forgiving and helping andsver!
I maid a mistake, thougt the pictures lied in the database so i had removed the album from the uppload catalog, fixt back the album so ewerithing is working fine now!
Thanke you kindly
