Hello,
if you use a browser with Developer tools, you can probably see in the
console or in the network tab an error message, e.g. "Failed to load
resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://
www.example.com/var/www/Webpages2/Images/background3.jpeg ".
It can help you debug.
