    Is there maybe some setting that I'm missing in Apache why I can not get favicon's to show up for websites?

    I know that it could be my browser (IE7), but I've done about everything in IE7, and still for any of my sites I can not get a favicon.ico to show up.
    I have even tried with PC's that have never accessed the sites to show the favicon... With no luck :/

    Also adding the (not really needed) code does not make it work :/
    Code:
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"> 
    <link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">
    Any other suggestions?

    I use this edge and it works for me.
    Code:
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="[COLOR="Red"][B]image/x-icon[/B][/COLOR]" />

    Thank you.. That did the trick :)

    Still I think that a favicon.ico should also work when you just put it in the root of the website (without adding the code).

    Anyway. I've now got it working on the index! All I need to do now is add "your line" to all mu other pages..

    They do in a number of browsers, but that is not a server setting.

    I know.. And in my browser it's working fine for other sites on other servers, except for any site on my servers.

    Other option to display favicons within your browser:

    @Edge,

    You can add a line like this within the Title section within every webpage:
    <link href="/images/favicon.ico" rel="SHORTCUT ICON">

    :)

    Hi Hans,

    Yes I also know this, and did something like this allready (see post above).
    Problem is that hits site has over 200 pages.. I really do not want to add this to all ;/

    Ok, i see and understand that you like to try another solution because of that 200 pages.

    You should also know that with a program like Dreamweaver you can add this line in all the open pages at once.
    So the work is 10 minutes or so.
