SVG content doesn't show

I'm running Apache2 on my Linode and I use SVG images on my website. When I view my site offline, they show up. But when I upload the index.html I get a 404 Not Found error.

img src="icons/instagram.svg"

I already created an .htaccess file in the root of public_html with this content:

AddType image/svg+xml .svg .svgz

But it still doesn't show.
What do I have to do to resolve this?

If adding that line in your .htaccess file doesn't work, you may want to verify that the MIME type is added directly in your Apache configuration file.

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
    ...
    AddType image/svg+xml svg svgz
    AddEncoding gzip svgz
    ...
</IfModule>

Other options may be that the file doesn't exist in that directory (perhaps it wasn't uploaded properly) or there isn't sufficient privileges to access that file.
