Dhivya,

Of course your CGI folder is executable only. Would you want the CGI scripts to be displayed
 as text? No, you want them executed.

The standard practice is to setup an icons or images folder and alias it. Tell apache the fu
ll path to that folder.

then use
<img src = '../images/hrabargraph2.gif'> 

-------------------- httpd.conf snip ----------------
Alias /images/ "/var/www/html/images/"

<Directory "/var/www/html/images"> 
#    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory> 
----------------- end snip -----------------------
cheers,
Mark

I have a local web server set up on a windows machine with Apache. I'm using Perl cgi script
 to create a web interface. Everything is working well, except that images are not getting d
isplayed on the website. The images along with the perl code are in the cgi-bin directory of
 apache- I dont know why there's a problem only with the images.
 
Here's the set of header lines, followed by the line of code that displays the image:
 
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI;
use Shell qw(echo wget);
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser carpout);
my $query = new CGI;
print $query-> header();
........
print "<center> <img src = 'hrabargraph2.gif'></img></center><p><p><p><p>"; 
The hrabargraph.gif is already in cgi-bin folder. Usually with Linux, such things happen bec
ause of permissions. What could be the reason in Windows? Is it the perl code or could it be
 some kind of apache configuration?
 
thanks
dhivya
