Actually, this more has to do with understanding the "virtual" paths you
create (and WHY you WANT to create virtual paths), no matter if you're still
using the Classic or new pbA server. It's covered in detail in my first
eRPG books because this is normally one of those "gotchas" we all run into
at one time or another. :)

Brad & Matt,
Once again you have saved me from myself! When I changed the
DocumentRoot directive in the config file, everything started to show
up.

I guess the next thing I need to do is find some sort of "Apache server
for dummies" book and read up on what all the different directives do.

Thanks again to both of you.

Terry,

No doubt you have a logical path to your files/images and
not the "actual" path. Most often this is set using the
DocumentRoot directive... ie...

DocumentRoot /www

Now, if I store my images in /www/images then I would refer
to the image as
this:

<img src="/images/image.gif">

I would NOT use:

<img src="/www/images/image.gif">

Subject: [WEB400] URI in request is not valid


Greetings List,
I am getting the following error when trying to display an
image on my
web page using CGIDEV2:

URI in request GET /www/citcgidev/backg.gif HTTP/1.1 is
not valid. I
am guessing that the error means that the image can't be found.
However, when I run the command: wrklnk
'/www/citcgidev/backg.gif'
from the command line, I go right to the file on the IFS.

Here is the line from my HTML:

<body text="black" link="blue" vlink="purple" alink="maroon"
background="/www/citcgidev/backg.gif">

According to the HTML book I have, this should work. Can
someone tell
me what I am doing wrong? Do I need to add something to the config
file that tells CGIDEV2 where images are stored?

Thanks,
