in reply to Display an image with a CGI program?

The image file is in the cgi-bin directory.

Some servers are treat all files in the cgi-bin as scripts. Your .gif isn't a script, so the web server returns an error. Try moving it to a different directory.

If that doesn't fix it, tell us what HTTP error the server returned. That would be in the web server's access log.

    Hi.

    Thanks for the help!

    I moved the image file to the parent directory of both 'htdocs' and 'cgi-bin' then referenced it with '../cgi-bin/pixel.gif' and it worked.

        Did you check the webserver logs to see if there is any indication of a problem?

        Can you access the image directly, without your script?
