Re^2: CGI SCRIPT ITSELF IS DISPLAYED

Thanks for the suggestion..!! I managed to run the cgi script on my server by configuring the file (1./etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf 2./etc/apache2/apache2.conf) . However, still am not able to generate a figure. Instead, a blank layout is shown.I know that it is something related to file pointing the figure.Kindly suggest me. anikng

Some information, My html file is in var/www/html folder. CGI script is under usr/lib/cgi-bin (i use this path to the configuration file for cgi configuration).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h3> <center>TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR FAMILY</center></h3>

<form action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.cgi" method="GET">
<input type="submit" value="NAC">
</form>
</body>
</html>
[download]

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
$q=new CGI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

@field=$q->param();

$name=$q->param("value");

print<<"OUTPUT";
                        
                <html>
                <head>
                <title>TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR DATABASE </title>  
                </head>

`<img src="file:///var/www/html/index.jpeg" height="420" width="420">` [download] That's not how HTTP works with HTML. Every resource generates its own HTTP request. You will need to serve the image via HTTP too, instead of using the `file://` protocol. You will need to use a file path that is relative to your CGI script. Maybe `<img src="index.jpeg" height="420" width="420">` [download] already is enough, because the image lives in the same folder as your HTML page. This has very little to do with Perl. I recommend you try it out with a static HTML page and a static image file first.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
