[SOLVED] Basename and portrait.jpg don't work well together

Hi,
I think something is wrong with the basename www.myuniversity.fr/~myname/ and the avatar portrait.jpg

hugo builds an index.html where I can find

grep 'portrait.jpg' index.html
index.html:      <img class="portrait" src="/~myname/img/portrait.jpg" itemprop="image" alt="Avatar">
grep 'image.gif' index.html
index.html:    <p><img src="img/image.gif" alt="to be filled out soon..." /></p>

Locally, this is working fine, but after deployment, my avatar is not showing (other picture is working fine).

Did I do something wrong ? (I’m starting with hugo and find it great btw!) I installed latest hugo version that I found here.

hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.50 linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2018-10-29T09:52:34Z

Thank you for any help you could provide.

Hi,

If you could post a link to your code, that would help us help you. It’s difficult to say where it’s going wrong otherwise.

Thank you @pointyfar!
I would prefer not to disclose the full source code (but I will if you can’t reproduce the error).

I think the relevant bits are in config.toml

baseurl = "https://www.myuniversity.fr/~myname/"

(note the tilde and the trailing slash), and

avatar = "portrait.jpg"  # Specify an avatar image (in `static/img/` folder) or delete value to disable avatar.

That’s the thing. Someone has to somehow build the site from scratch in that case. If you can create a dummy repo that you can share, which reproduces the problem, someone can easily take a look.

Sorry, after a lot of trial and error, I understood that the culprit were the file permissions of portrait.jpg

chmod 644 portrait.jpg fixed it.
