in reply to Where to store images?

one guy give an advice to write images into cgi-bin folder , and then cat them from perl scripts to html pages. Sounds like that is what I need... What do you think ?

    What do you think
    Sounds pretty stupid to me. It would mean you have a program reading images from disk, writing that to a pipe to a different program, which then feeds them to the wire. On top of that, you're storing images in a directory that is supposed to have executables.
      I don't have to use cgi-bin directory for that . I can create a directory with only RW permission for apache. That's better than storing files on open directory for all people.
        Hey, if you're going to ignore all the advice given in the thread, why did you even bother to ask? (This is a rethorical question)
