In case someone else has the same problem, another day or so of wrestling with this got me a fix.
The solution turns out to have been that the $base_url in settings.php was http://domain.com/ ; switching it to http://www.domain.com/ fixed everything.
Cheers, Kris

Hi,
I've been putting together a drupal site, and have got it pretty much working, but I've decided to add an Ubercart store to it, and the images aren't working.
I've got all the appropriate modules installed (and have used the old versions that are listed in the documentation just to make sure that I wasn't choking on some sort of version incompatibility), and when I go to upload an image for a product, completion of the upload produced a PHP error popping up in a dialog box.
The text of the error is exactly the HTML source of the front page of the website.
On top of this, I get a little grey rectangle where the image should be when I look at the product, and attempts to open the "image" in a new tab, or copy the location and download it (e.g. with wget) simply produce the front page (or a copy of it).
All that said, the file does seem to have uploaded, since I can find it in the files/ sudirectory of my drupal directory when logged into the server (and downloading that file with scp shows me that it's actually the image, and not a copy of the front page).
There are no entries in the webserver logs relating to any attempt to get this file (attempts to get it just seem to get logged as successful attempts to get "/"), and Clean URLs are enabled.
Possibly (but not likely) relevant is that when I was originally putting the site together at http://test.domain.com/ , quite a few queries got redirected to the appropriate page on www.domain.com. This problem went away when the site was finished, and got moved onto www.domain.com to replace the old site, but not the sort of finished that leaves me feeling very comfortable.
Also, I don't know if this is normal behaviour, or if it's buggy (and possibly connected to my main problem again), but when I make changes to the site, I tend to get dropped onto the front page instead of where I might logically expect to end up (e.g. when I submit changes to a node, I'd expect the page I see after pressing the "Submit" button to either be the node in question, or some sort of success message, or perhaps the node being edited with the success message bolted to the top).
Anyhow, I'm hoping that someone here knows what's going on here and can suggest a fix.
Thanks, Kris
