Why do you manually check `file:///C:/Server/Apache2/cgi-bin/pics/PD4.jpg` [download] if you use `http://localhost/cgi-bin/pics/PD4.jpg` [download] in your code? What error do you get in the logs for the image? Also, read the Apache documentation on how to configure Apache. This has nothing to do with Perl. You will need to configure Apache so that it serves images from a directory. This directory should not be `cgi-bin`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

checked manually with file:///C:/Server/Apache2/cgi-bin/pics/PD4.jpg.IT works. file: is not http: If you're trying to debug a problem with http://localhost.... you don't reach for file: not sure about this Yeah, the file: bit gave it away, which is why you should take the time now to learn about the internet. This is one way you might check `$ lwp-request -USEd http://127.0.0.1:5000/ GET http://127.0.0.1:5000/ User-Agent: lwp-request/6.00 libwww-perl/6.02 200 OK Date: Thu, 05 May 2011 11:36:49 GMT Date: Thu, 05 May 2011 11:36:49 GMT Server: HTTP::Server::PSGI Content-Length: 6064 Client-Date: Thu, 05 May 2011 11:36:49 GMT Client-Peer: 127.0.0.1:5000 Client-Response-Num: 1` [download] no error on the log.Its just that everything works except the image. unlikely is there any work around if apache wont server images ? Either don't keep images in cgi-bin, or configure apache to serve images from cgi-bin (I'm assuming its possible).	[reply] [d/l]

Forget CGI for the moment, access the image via a browser via http://localhost not file://. If, as others have pointed out, you still claim that your error_log isn't displaying "File does not exist: /blah/blah/image.png" style errors your apache config is wrong.	[reply]
