Re: URI in request is not valid

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,
