Not able to display images

[eluser]shinokada[/eluser]
I am using XAMPP and created a directroy htdocs/codeigniter_shopping.

Inside that directroy I have an image directory same level as system directory.

htdocs/codeigniter_shopping/images
htdocs/codeigniter_shopping/system

I have .htaccess as follows.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|captcha|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

I have stored paths to images in database.

/images/dummy-thumb.jpg

However it does not display any image.

I am able to see an image in the following URL.

http://127.0.0.1/codeigniter_shopping/im...-thumb.jpg

So I tried ../images/dummy-thumb.jpg, images/dummy-thumb.jpg etc but none of them worked.

I am hoping if someone can give me ideas how to store the path to image.

Or do I need to change any .htaccess or not.

Thanks in advance.
