Web galleries put images under a bin directory

Question

The web galleries put the images (both thumb and large) in a path like content/bin/images/... For hosts that use Microsoft Internet Information Server, the bin part of this path breaks the link to images, so they don't display. WHY IN G's NAME do you use bin? bin is for executables, in both unix and Windows, surely.
Because I use a host that uses IIS, I can't use Lightroom-generated web galleries.

Answer 1

Open the folder default_html.lrwengine (it's inside the lightroom app folder) (you should make a backup copy just in case)
Open the file galleryInfo.lrweb
after the line ["photoSizes.thumb.width"] = 130,
Add
["photoSizes.large.directory"] = "large",
["photoSizes.thumb.directory"] = "thumb",
In grid.html change the line <img src="$others/bin/images/thumb/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" id="ID<%= image.imageID %>_thumb" alt="" class="thumb" />
to <img src="$others/thumb/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" id="ID<%= image.imageID %>_thumb" alt="" class="thumb" />
and in detail.html change <img src="bin/images/large/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg"
to
<img src="large/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg"
That should get you going.
As to why it uses bin? no idea..
