Re^13: Not able to display an image in perl CGI

Hmm ok fine.. Thanks for providing the info. So how can i include images in CGI programming.

I have an html file in /var/www/html/ directory. It works fine here.

I created a cgi script with HTML frames, i wanted to source this html file which failed.

Can anyone confirm if we can call html file from cgi script. If yes do we need to perform any specific modification.

So how can i include images in CGI programming. If you want to serve them through CGI, this works ... although why it doesn't work on your tomcat is a mystery (tomcat mystery) If you want to serve html and just link the images, this works provided the link to the image is correct, most webservers won't serve static files from cgi-bin like this error tells you. So to get this approach working put it someplace the webserver is configured to serve static files (tomcat config stuff) The other stuff in your question I can't decipher, sorry checklists :) Basic debugging checklist , brian's Guide to Solving Any Perl Problem, CGI Help Guide , Troubleshooting Perl CGI scripts	[reply]
