Title: Images from a CGI
Post by: Roy Davies on July 11, 2003, 05:33:34 PM

Hi,

I have written a perl script which sits in a cgi-bin folder under an ibay.  It generates a webpage including references to images also in the cgi-bin folder.  However, the webpage shows just the X 'can't find image' logo and not the actual image.  What am I doing wrong?

The code looks like this:

print "";

I have set the access rights to 777 on the jpgs, and the ibay is open to all at the moment, so there should not be any access rights problem.

/Roy.

I'm pretty sure that you can't serve images from the cgi directory. Put them in the root or a subdirectory of the root and point to them there in you script.

I had a similar problem and solved it by putting the images in a directory called images ( subdirectory of www directory) and then pointed to the actual location in tne cgi script
